What language are these names and what are the meaning of these names?

Franchesca


Jacqueline


Juinice (pronounced waniece; waneece)


Xandria; it has two dots above the a (the dots are side by side). It's pronounced Zandria.





Also the name Clarissa (I believe it's Italian; but not sure; think the meaning is beautiful; am I correct?).

What language are these names and what are the meaning of these names?
FRANCHESCA - American; free





JACQUELINE - French; to protect





JUINICE - Couldn't find the exact name; the closest I came was


JUIN - French, the month of June





XANDRIA - the closest I came was XANDER, American version


of Alexandria





CLARISSA - Latin; brilliant
Reply:1 - American


2 - French


3 - I have no idea


4 - probably comes from Alexandria - Greek


5 - Latin - means "brilliant"
Reply:Clarissa comes from Clara or Chiara, "chiaro" being italian for bright, fair, clear.





Francesca and Jacqueline come from very old names Franco, Frances, Francois (common in all roman-language countries)


and Jacob, Jacques, Jake. I believe both names have their root in antique times. There's a name Jacob mentioned in the bible already. -line is a tipical female ending, being added to a male name.





Xandria, or Alexandria, comes from the name Alexander or Xander, which is probably greek or phoenician, possibly with older roots.





Juinice - I speculate it might have a connection with Giovenice, Giove or Juve being either ancient roman foather of gods (jupiter) or female goddess of youth (Juvena).


Giovinezza means youth (as in being young) in italian.

Jacqueline- fem version of Jacques From the Latin Jacobus, which was from the Greek 螜伪魏蠅尾慰蟼 (Iakobos), which was from the Hebrew name 讬址注植拽止讘 (Ya'aqov).Other theories claim that it is in fact derived from a hypothetical name like 讬址注植拽止讘职讗值诇 (Ya'aqov'el) meaning "may God protect"





Clarissa- English, Italian, Portuguese From the Late Latin name Claritia, which was derived from Latin clarus "clear, bright, famous".

Xandria- From the Greek name 螒位蔚尉伪谓未蟻慰蟼 (Alexandros), which meant "defending men" from Greek 伪位蔚尉蠅 (alexo) "to defend, help" and 伪谓畏蟻 (aner) "man"
