Related names
Adriana
Latin · “Adriana is the feminine form of Adriano/Adrian, derived from the Latin Hadrianus, referring to someone from the city of Hadria (modern Adria) in northern Italy, near the Adriatic Sea. The Adriatic's name itself may derive from the Illyrian or Venetic word adur meaning "water." The name became widespread in Slavic and Romance language countries through the influence of Pope Adrian I and the Roman Emperor Hadrian.”
Tatiana
Russian · “Tatiana is a Russian and Slavic feminine name derived from the Latin Tatianus, itself from the Roman family name Tatius — of uncertain Sabine origin, possibly related to the Sabine king Titus Tatius. Saint Tatiana of Rome, a third-century Christian martyr, spread the name through Eastern Orthodox Christianity. In Russia, January 25 — Saint Tatiana's Day — is celebrated as Students' Day, as Moscow State University was founded on that date.”

Travis
“From the English surname Travis, derived from the Anglo-French travers meaning "crossroads, crossing place", from the Old French traverser meaning "to cross". Traverser derives from the Latin transversus (turned across), from trans (across) and vertere (to turn). Travis thus means "one who lives or works at a crossing" — a ferryman or toll-keeper at a river ford or road junction.”
Viola
“Viola is a feminine given name derived from the Latin "viola", the word for the violet flower. It entered widespread use in medieval Italy and gained international fame through Shakespeare's heroine in "Twelfth Night", a witty noblewoman who disguises herself as a young man named Cesario.”
Electa
“Electa is a Latin feminine name from the past participle of "eligere" meaning "to choose, to elect". It thus means "the chosen one" or "the elect" — a name with strong theological connotations in Christian naming tradition, referring to those chosen by God for salvation. It was used in Puritan naming culture in 17th and 18th-century New England, and the name Electa appears in a brief epistle in the New Testament.”
Vita
“From the Latin vita meaning "life" — the fundamental Latin word for biological existence, from the Proto-Indo-European root gwei- meaning "to live". Vita encompasses the entire span of existence from birth to death and was a central concept in Roman philosophy, medicine, and religion. The word gives English "vital", "vitality", "vitamin", and many other life-related terms.”
Marcus
“From the Latin Marcus, one of the most common Roman praenomina, thought to derive either from the Etruscan name Marce or from Mars, the Roman god of war — whose own name may come from an ancient root meaning "to glisten" or from the Etruscan Maris. Marcus was borne by emperors, statesmen, and philosophers, most notably Marcus Aurelius, the Stoic emperor-philosopher whose Meditations remain a foundational text of Western ethical thought.”
Andrea
“Andrea is a given name derived from the Greek Andreas, meaning "manly" or "masculine," from the Greek andros (man). While masculine in Italian and German use, it functions as a feminine name in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Czech, Slovak, and other European languages. In Slavic cultures it is primarily feminine, a form of the name linked to Saint Andrew the Apostle.”
