Answer
Dear Olivia,
Here are some nice Latin girl names:
-Silvia (derived from Latin ‘silva’, wood, forest).
Rhea Silvia was the mother of Romulus and Remus, the mythological founders of Rome.
-Lavinia
In Roman legend Lavinia was the daughter of King Latinus, the second wife of Aeneas, and the ancestor of the Roman people.
-Camilla
This was the name of a legendary warrior maiden, as told by Virgil in the 'Aeneid'.
-Caelia
Feminine form of the Roman family name 'Caelius' which meant "heaven" from Latin 'caelum'(sky).
-Clara
Feminine form of Latin adjective ‘clarus‘ which meant "clear, bright, famous".
-Cloelia
In Roman legend Cloelia was a maiden who was given to an Etruscan invader as a hostage, but managed to escape by swimming across the Tiber.
-Cornelia
She was the mother of the two reformers known as the Gracchi. After her death she was regarded as an example of the ideal Roman woman.
Best regards,
Maria
