About Latin names
Latin names come down from Rome — family names, virtue words, and descriptions that became fixtures of the Western naming pool. Their meanings are often disarmingly direct: Clara is bright, Felix is fortunate, Victoria is victory. Because Latin fed so many later languages, these names feel at home almost everywhere, dignified without stiffness, and they age unusually well.
Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
