Girl's Names with strictly feminine origins

Girl Names

Bonjour Berries,

as the thread title suggests, I am brainstorming a list of girl’s names that are not derived from a masculine root name. This is just to satisfy my curiosity, I thought it would be interesting to see how many we could come up with without listing variations of the same names.

[name_f]Margarita[/name_f]
[name_f]Brigit[/name_f]
Gwenhwyfar
[name_f]Dolores[/name_f]

(questioning a few of these - nature/word names should probably be out if this is a completely ‘‘pure’’ feminine-origin list)

[name_f]Twila[/name_f]
[name_f]Freya[/name_f]
[name_f]Jemima[/name_f]
[name_f]Bathsheba[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f]

[name_u]Carmel[/name_u]
[name_f]Bedelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Zita[/name_f]
Mehetibel
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Bibianna[/name_f]
[name_f]Godiva[/name_f] - etymology could be questioned I guess as the Old English Godgyfu was probably unisex

[name_f]Irene[/name_f]

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoraida[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
