Gilbert
“Gilbert is a French masculine given name from the Old High German Giselbert — composed of gisel meaning "pledge, hostage" and beraht meaning "bright, famous" — thus "bright pledge". The Normans brought it to France where it became established in medieval naming. Saint Gilbert of Sempringham founded the Gilbertine order in 12th-century England. In France, Gilbert was a common medieval name revived in the 20th century.”
Marion
“Marion is a French unisex given name, a medieval French diminutive of Marie (Mary), derived from the Hebrew Miriam of uncertain meaning — possibly "wished-for child," "beloved," or "rebellious." As a masculine name it is found in French-speaking countries and in the American South; as a feminine name it is used across English, French, and other European cultures.”
Sophie
“Sophie is the French form of Sophia, from the Greek sophia meaning "wisdom". In France and across the German-speaking world, Sophie became one of the most beloved feminine names, carried by queens, philosophers' wives, and fictional heroines. Tolstoy's War and Peace and countless French novels feature Sophies as emblems of refined, good-natured intelligence.”
Ingrid
“Ingrid is a Scandinavian feminine name, from the Old Norse Ingríðr — composed of Ing (a Norse fertility god, ancestor of the Ingvaeones) and fríðr meaning "beautiful, beloved". The name entered French use through Scandinavian royal connections and the global fame of Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman, who starred in French films and became one of cinema's most beloved figures. It is used as a given name in France with a distinctly cosmopolitan, northern European flavor.”
Marthe
“Marthe is the French feminine form of Martha, from the Aramaic Marta meaning "mistress, lady of the house" — the feminine form of mar meaning "lord, master". In the New Testament, Martha of Bethany — sister of Mary and Lazarus — represents the active life of practical service, famously contrasted with her sister Mary's contemplative listening. The name has been used in France since the early Christian era and was a common 20th-century name.”
Zacharie
“Zacharie is the French masculine form of Zachary/Zacharias, from the Hebrew Zekharyah meaning "God has remembered", composed of zakhar (to remember) and Yah (God). In the Bible, Zechariah is both a minor prophet and the father of John the Baptist, struck dumb by an angel until the birth of his son. Pope Zachary (741–752) and several other saints gave the name ecclesiastical standing in France.”
