Saintly Girls' Names

Image
A certain group of famous people are important to Christians. They serve as role models for living a pure and holy life. Saintly names belong to Catholic saints. However, not every name that has belonged to a saint counts as Saintly. Lucy and Mary might honor saints, but the connections don't immediately come to mind. Yet, other classics have stronger connections to their saintly namesakes, making them qualify.  Here are some Saintly names for girls: Adelaide Adelina Agatha Agnes Amandine Anastasia Apollonia Ava Avila Barbara Bernadette Brigid Camilla Carmen Cecilia Chantal Clare Eugenia Faith Faustina Felicity Flora Gemma Genevieve Guadalupe Helena Jacinta Joan Josephine Kateri Louisa Lucia Magdalene Maria Marianne Monica Perpetua Philomena Rita Rosa Rosalia Sabina Seraphina Siena Sofia Susanna Teresa Ursula Valentina Veronica Vivian Winifred Zélie Zita What names would you add?

He reached popularity in England two centuries later, ranking in the top 100 through 2005. In the United States, Patrick ranked in the top 200 every year until 2018. He was also a top 100 name through 1904 and again from 1937 to 2004.  Patrick remains popul...
