[Daniclone_23]

English form of Iohannes, the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious". This name owes its popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered saints. The first was John the Baptist, a Jewish ascetic who was considered the forerunner of Jesus Christ. The second was the apostle John, who was also traditionally regarded as the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation.

This name was initially more common among Eastern Christians in the Byzantine Empire, but it flourished in Western Europe after the First Crusade. In England it became extremely popular: during the later Middle Ages it was given to approximately a fifth of all English boys.

The name (in various spellings) has been borne by 21 popes and eight Byzantine emperors, as well as rulers of England, France, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Portugal, Bulgaria, Russia and Hungary. It was also borne by the poet John Milton (1608-1674), philosopher John Locke (1632-1704), American founding father and president John Adams (1735-1826), and poet John Keats (1795-1821). Famous bearers of the 20th century include author John Steinbeck (1902-196 cool , assassinated American president John F. Kennedy (1917-1963), and musician John Lennon (1940-1980).

Roman family name which was derived either from MARS, the name of the Roman god of War, or else from the Latin root mas, maris meaning "male". Gaius Marius was a famous Roman consul of the 2nd century BC. Since the start of the Christian era, it has occasionally been used as a masculine form of MARIA.


MARIO IS NAMED AFTER THE GOD OF WAR. IT EXPLAINS SO MUCH.

Though I'm sure his parents picked it as a masculine form of Maria for Christian connotations.

Caitlin (Irish: /koyt-hleen/ or /Cotch-LEEN/; English: KAYT-lynn) is a female name.
1. Along with the many other variants of Katherine, it is generally believed to mean "pure" because of its long association with the Greek adjective katharos (pure), though the name did not evolve from this word.
2. The name originated in Ireland as Caitlín and is the Gaelic variation of the Old French name Cateline, which was derived from Catherine, which was derived from the Ancient Greek Aikaterine.
3. Catherine is attributed to St. Catherine of Alexandria and the Greek goddess Hecate.

MARY
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Biblical
Pronounced: MER-ee (English), MAR-ee (English) [key]
Usual English form of Maria, which was the Latin form of the New Testament Greek names Μαριαμ (Mariam) and Μαρια (Maria) - the spellings are interchangeable - which were from the Hebrew name מִרְיָם (Miryam). The meaning is not known for certain, but there are several theories including "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", and "wished for child". However it was most likely originally an Egyptian name, perhaps derived in part from mry "beloved" or mr "love".
