Felicia
“Felicia is a feminine given name derived from the Latin felix meaning "happy," "lucky," or "fortunate." It is the feminine form of Felicianus and was used in medieval Europe, particularly in Catholic countries. The name is used across Polish, Czech, Romanian, and other European traditions.”
Graziella
“An Italian diminutive of Grazia, from the Latin gratia meaning "grace, favor, thanks" — the word that gives English its "grace" and "gratitude". Gratia in Roman culture referred to the exchange of favor and goodwill that structured social relationships, while in Christian theology it became the central concept of divine gift freely given. The diminutive form Graziella adds tenderness to the concept.”
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.”
Vito
“From the Latin Vitus, derived from vita meaning "life". Saint Vitus was a third-century Christian martyr venerated across medieval Europe, and his name became associated with vitality and survival under persecution. The name entered Italian vernacular as a common given name with strong southern Italian and Sicilian usage.”
Elisabeth
“The German, Scandinavian, and French form of Elizabeth, from the Hebrew Elisheba meaning "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance", composed of El (God) and sheva (oath or seven). The spelling Elisabeth is used in German-speaking countries and in France, and preserves the name's classical gravity without the English -z- variant. Saint Elisabeth of Hungary was a thirteenth-century princess famous for her charity.”
Gina
“Gina is an Italian short form of names ending in "-gina", most commonly Luigina, Georgina, or Regina. Regina derives from the Latin "regina" meaning "queen", from "rex" (king). In Scandinavian use, Gina became popular as a short form of Georgina or as a standalone name. Its Italian roots give it a warm, Mediterranean quality that contrasts with its Germanic-Scandinavian usage contexts.”
