This was harder than I expected; half the names meaning “peace” I know of, the book listed a different meaning or the name wasn’t there! [name_f][/name_f] :joy:

[name_f][/name_f]

But your name is [name_f]Sylvia[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] Meaning from the forest[name_f][/name_f] and the spiritual connotation is dwelling in spirit[name_f][/name_f]. (The meaning of peace feels implied here, at least for me :joy::joy:)

Your name is Eirena[name_f][/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] She is new to me but I believe is a variant of [name_f]Irene[/name_f], said eye-ree-nah from what I can tell. [name_f][/name_f] They listed Eirana, Eiranna, and Eirenna as variants. [name_f][/name_f] She means peace[name_f][/name_f], and her spiritual connotation is contentment[name_f][/name_f]. [name_f][/name_f] (She is in [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] Spenser’s The [name_f]Faerie[/name_f] Queene!)

You didn’t mention wanting the Bible verse, so I’m leaving it out, but if you want it, let me know and I can send it to you! :heart:

[name_f]Sarai[/name_f][name_f][/name_f], meaning princess[name_f][/name_f], with a spiritual connotation of beloved[name_f][/name_f]. (A whole slew of variants, including [name_f]Zara[/name_f] and Sharaya?)

[name_f]Topaz[/name_f][name_f][/name_f], meaning gem[name_f][/name_f] (lol), with a spiritual connotation of fidelity[name_f][/name_f]. (The 5 letter T names were slim pickings unless it was something super popular like [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] or [name_m]Tyson[/name_m] which don’t feel like you! [name_f][/name_f] Hopefully this is more interesting than those at least lol.)

Your name is [name_f]Chiara[/name_f][name_f][/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] Not sure if it’s frilly enough, but it feels so princessy to me.

She means clear[name_f][/name_f], and her spiritual connotation is sealed[name_f][/name_f].

Thank you!! I love [name_f]Topaz[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- intrigued by that passage [name_f][/name_f]- I’m guessing it’s going on the fidelity association!

I think you’re right about the tie to fidelity—tbh I would’ve thought they’d use the verses talking about one of the gates of heaven being made out of Topaz… but apparently not :joy::joy:

[name_f][/name_f]

Tbh surprised Nameberry links it as a girl’s name—it’s one of the rare gem names that feels masculine to me? [name_f][/name_f] I guess it could go either way though.

Ooh, I’m surprised too - it’s always leaned more fem to me, as I watched a share with a female Topaz in it as a kid, but it could work either way - I’ll add it as a masc name

Cornish names are slim pickings, but I did find two! [name_f][/name_f] I’m going with [name_m]Jago[/name_m][name_f][/name_f] here because it’s more interesting than [name_f]Jenna[/name_f] (though I am a big [name_f]Jenna[/name_f] fan!). [name_f][/name_f] They lumped it in with [name_m]Iago[/name_m], and identified it as Welsh (hey, better than [name_f]Jenna[/name_f], which they called Middle Eastern!), with a meaning of supplanter[name_f][/name_f] and a spiritual connotation of replacement[name_f][/name_f].
