Christelle
“Christelle is a French feminine given name, a diminutive form of Christine, itself derived from the Latin Christianus meaning "a Christian" or "follower of Christ", from the Greek Christos meaning "anointed one". The -elle suffix is a characteristically French diminutive, giving the name a lighter, more modern feel than Christine. It became popular in France during the second half of the 20th century.”
Jerome
“Jérôme is the French masculine form of Jerome, from the Greek Hieronymos meaning "holy name" — composed of hieros (holy, sacred) and onoma (name). Saint Jerome (347–420), the great Biblical scholar who translated the Bible into Latin (the Vulgate), made the name central to Catholic intellectual tradition. In France, Jérôme has been used continuously since the early Christian period.”
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.”
Jules
“Jules is a French and English masculine (and increasingly unisex) given name, a form of Julius, derived from the Roman family name Iulius, of uncertain origin — possibly from the Greek Ioulos meaning "downy-bearded" or connected to the god Iulus. The name is associated with Julius Caesar and with the French author Jules Verne, making it both imperial and adventurous in its cultural resonance.”
Emmanuel
“Emmanuel is a French masculine given name from the Hebrew Immanu'el meaning "God is with us", composed of im (with), anu (us), and El (God). The name appears in Isaiah as a prophetic name for the Messiah and is applied to Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew. In France, Emmanuel has been a classic masculine name with profound theological significance — recently made famous internationally by Emmanuel Macron, President of France.”
Marcel
“Marcel is a French and Occitan masculine name, a form of Marcellus, itself a diminutive of the Roman praenomen Marcus, ultimately linked to Mars, the Roman god of war. The name is widely used in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, and also found in Poland, Hungary, and Romania, where it carries a cosmopolitan, slightly intellectual quality.”
