Maurice
“Maurice is a French masculine given name derived from the Latin Mauritius — itself from Maurus meaning "dark-skinned" or "from Mauretania" (North Africa). Saint Maurice, the Roman soldier and Christian martyr executed near the Rhône in 286 AD, became patron of numerous French cities and gave the name its medieval prestige. Maurice is a classic French name, borne by the composer Maurice Ravel and the philosopher Maurice Merleau-Ponty.”
Claire
“Claire is a French feminine given name from the Latin clara meaning "clear, bright, famous". Saint Clare of Assisi (1194–1253), co-founder with Saint Francis of the Poor Clares religious order, gave the name immense prestige in the Catholic world — her name chosen to match her luminous spiritual beauty. In France, Claire has been one of the most enduringly beloved feminine names, combining religious prestige with everyday elegance.”
Danny
“Danny is an English diminutive of Daniel, from the Hebrew Daniyel meaning "God is my judge" — composed of din (judgment) and El (God). As a standalone given name in French and Spanish contexts, Danny represents the adoption of English-language diminutive naming culture that became fashionable in France and Spain in the second half of the 20th century, following American cultural influence through film, music, and television.”
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.”
Genevieve
“Geneviève is a French feminine given name of disputed Celtic or Germanic origin — possibly from the Gaulish geno meaning "race, people" and vefa meaning "woman", or from the Germanic Kenowefa. Saint Geneviève (422–512), patron saint of Paris, reputed to have saved the city from Attila the Hun through prayer, made the name inseparable from French national and Catholic identity.”
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.”
