What is the meaning of these names?

My freind was wondering what they would mean. She was thinking of naming her kid one of them if its a girl or boy.


Brittany


Samantha


Colton


Kyle

What is the meaning of these names?
Brittany...from the name of the region in the northwest of France, called in French Bretagne. It was named for the Briton settlers who fled to that area after the Anglo-Saxon invasion of England.


Samantha...intended to be a feminine form of SAMUEL, using the popular name suffix antha...t is sometimes claimed to mean "listener" in Aramaic.


Colton...from a surname which was originally from a place meaning "Cola's town". Cola was an Old English nickname meaning "charcoal".


Kyle...from a Scottish surname which was derived from Gaelic caol meaning "narrows, channel, strait".
Reply:Brittany: From Britain


Samantha: Listener


Colton: Cole's town


Kyle: Narrow





If she's dead-set on a name from that list, my pick would be Samantha or Kyle.
