Marcellus
“Marcellus is a Latin masculine name, a diminutive of Marcus, ultimately linked to Mars, the Roman god of war — thus "little warrior" or "young follower of Mars." It was a common cognomen in ancient Rome, borne by the general Marcus Claudius Marcellus who conquered Syracuse in 212 BC. In Polish and Slavic contexts the name carries a classical Roman authority.”
Francis
“From the Latin Franciscus, meaning "Frenchman" or "free man," derived from Francus, the Latin name for the Franks — a Germanic tribe whose name derives from a root meaning "free." The name was adopted throughout Europe following the fame of Saint Francis of Assisi (1181–1226), the Italian friar famous for his love of poverty and nature. Frances is the standard feminine form.”
Victor
“From the Latin victor meaning "conqueror, winner" — the agent noun from vincere meaning "to conquer". Victor was a common Roman cognomen and became a Christian given name through Pope Victor I (died c. 199) and several other early saints. The name carries the Roman concept of victory as a terminal state: the one who has already won.”
Rosaria
“From the Latin rosarium meaning "rose garden" or "rosary", derived from rosa meaning "rose". The rosarium was both a literal rose garden and the devotional practice of the Catholic rosary prayer, named for the traditional offering of roses to the Virgin Mary. The name is deeply embedded in Southern Italian and Sicilian Catholic devotional culture.”
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.”
Ciro
“The Italian form of Cyrus, from the Greek Kyros, itself likely derived from the Old Persian Kūruš. The meaning is disputed: it may come from the Persian khur meaning "sun" or "throne", or from a root meaning "humiliator of the enemy". Cyrus the Great, founder of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, made this one of the most celebrated names of antiquity.”
