Membership here is computed, not curated: a name is listed when its documented root meaning fits the theme, and the literal gloss is shown so you can see exactly why. Meanings are derived from Wiktionary (CC BY-SA 4.0); every count is real license data. A “via” note means the name inherits its meaning through a base form (Maggie via Margaret), never that the name itself carries that root. Names whose etymology isn't documented don't appear.
