Claude
“Claude is a French given name, used for both men and women, derived from the Latin Claudius — an ancient Roman family name from the root claudus meaning "lame". The Roman Emperor Claudius and Saint Claude of Besançon gave the name both imperial and ecclesiastical prestige in France. The Lorraine painter Claude Lorrain (Claude Gellée) made the name synonymous with golden, luminous landscape painting.”
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.”
Catherine
“Catherine is the French form of Katherine, from the Greek Aikaterine, whose origin is debated — possibly from the Greek katharos meaning "pure", or from an earlier Coptic or pre-Greek name. The name was made famous by Saint Catherine of Alexandria and became one of the most popular names across the Catholic world, borne by queens of France including Catherine de Médicis.”
Frederic
“Frédéric is a French masculine given name, the French form of Frederick, from the Old High German Frithuric composed of frithu meaning "peace" and ric meaning "ruler, power" — thus "peaceful ruler". The name was carried by Holy Roman Emperors and Prussian kings and entered French through Germanic-French court culture. In France, Frédéric Chopin and Frédéric Mistral gave the name literary and artistic prestige.”
Marc
“Marc is the French and Catalan form of Marcus, from the ancient Roman praenomen derived from Mars, the god of war. It is also linked to the Latin mas/maris meaning "male, virile". In France and Catalonia, Marc is a classic masculine name with both Roman gravitas and Mediterranean lightness. The Catalan Marc is especially prevalent in Barcelona and the surrounding region.”
Augustin
“Augustin is the French masculine form of Augustine, from the Latin Augustinus — a diminutive of Augustus, from augere meaning "to increase, augment" and the related adjective augustus meaning "venerable, consecrated". Saint Augustine of Hippo (354–430), whose Confessions and City of God shaped Western Christian theology for a millennium, made the name inseparable from intellectual faith and the examined life.”
