More Latin names
Pierfrancesco
“An Italian compound name combining Piero (the Italian form of Peter, from the Greek petros meaning "rock" or "stone") and Francesco (the Italian form of Francis, from the Medieval Latin Franciscus meaning "Frankish man" or "free man"). The combination was common among Italian Renaissance patrician families, particularly in Florence and Tuscany.”
Dolores
“From the Spanish Maria de los Dolores meaning "Mary of Sorrows", referring to the Seven Sorrows of the Virgin Mary in Catholic tradition. The Latin dolor means "pain, grief, sorrow". The feast of Our Lady of Sorrows (La Dolorosa) is celebrated on September 15, and the name has been particularly common in Spain and Latin America as an expression of Marian devotion.”
Delfina
“The Italian and Spanish feminine form of Delphin, from the Latin Delphinus meaning "dolphin" or "from Delphi". The dolphin (Greek delphis) was sacred to Apollo and was his symbol as the protector of sailors, believed to carry the souls of the dead to the Isles of the Blessed. Delphi, the oracle site, derives its name from the same root. Saint Delphina of Provence was a fourteenth-century Franciscan laywoman.”
Danuta
“A Polish feminine name, possibly a diminutive of Dana or Daniela, from the Hebrew Daniel meaning "God is my judge", composed of din (judgment) and El (God). Alternatively it may derive from a Slavic root. The name is distinctively Polish and became internationally known through Danuta Wałęsa, wife of Solidarity leader Lech Wałęsa.”
Jaunita
“A variant spelling of Juanita, the Spanish diminutive of Juana, itself the Spanish feminine form of Juan (John), from the Latin Joannes, from the Greek Ioannes, from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious". The diminutive suffix -ita adds endearment. Juanita is widely used across Latin America and Spain, and among Hispanic communities in the United States.”
Godfrey
“From the Old French Godefroy, from the Old High German Godafrid composed of god meaning "god" and frid meaning "peace" — thus "God's peace". The name was introduced to England by the Normans and became common in medieval English-speaking lands. Geoffrey and Jeffrey are related forms that developed along different phonetic paths.”
