Joseph
“Joseph derives from the Hebrew Yosef, meaning "God will add" or "God shall increase", from the root yasaf. It passed through Greek and Latin into French as Joseph, becoming widespread across the Catholic world through the biblical patriarch and Saint Joseph, foster father of Jesus. In French-speaking contexts the name carries centuries of religious and literary weight.”
Anouk
“Anouk is a French feminine given name, a diminutive form of Anna, itself from the Hebrew Hannah meaning "grace" or "favour". The Dutch also use Anouk as a diminutive of Anna. In France the name gained widespread recognition through the actress Anouk Aimée, star of Claude Lelouch's Un homme et une femme (1966), which made the name synonymous with Parisian chic.”
Marcel
“Marcel is a French and Occitan masculine name, a form of Marcellus, itself a diminutive of the Roman praenomen Marcus, ultimately linked to Mars, the Roman god of war. The name is widely used in France, Belgium, and Switzerland, and also found in Poland, Hungary, and Romania, where it carries a cosmopolitan, slightly intellectual quality.”
Lucy
“Lucy is an Anglicized form of Lucia, from the Latin Lux meaning "light". Saint Lucy (Santa Lucia, died c. 304), the Syracusan martyr whose eyes were gouged out yet remained miraculously sighted, is one of the most venerated saints in Italy and Scandinavia. In Italian-French contexts, Lucy represents the international form of Lucia, used in communities with English-speaking connections alongside the native Lucia or Lucie.”
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.”
Ingrid
“Ingrid is a Scandinavian feminine name, from the Old Norse Ingríðr — composed of Ing (a Norse fertility god, ancestor of the Ingvaeones) and fríðr meaning "beautiful, beloved". The name entered French use through Scandinavian royal connections and the global fame of Swedish actress Ingrid Bergman, who starred in French films and became one of cinema's most beloved figures. It is used as a given name in France with a distinctly cosmopolitan, northern European flavor.”
