Andrina

Latinized form of Timotheos (see Timothy).

From Greek Ἀπόλλων (Apollon), which is of unknown meaning, though perhaps related to Indo-European *apelo meaning “strength”. Another theory states that Apollo can be equated with Appaliunas, an Anatolian god whose name possibly means “father lion” or “father light”. The Greeks later associated Apollo’s name with the Greek verb ἀπόλλυμι (apollymi) meaning “to destroy”. In Greek mythology Apollo was the son of Zeus and Leto and the twin of Artemis. He was the god of prophecy, medicine, music, art, law, beauty, and wisdom. Later he also became the god of the sun and light.

People with the name Jeremy have a deep inner desire to use their abilities in leadership, and to have personal independence. They would rather focus on large, important issues, and delegate the details.

From Esperanto juvelo meaning “jewel”.

Norwegian, Danish and Dutch variant form of Helen. This is the name of the title character in the novel Eline Vere (1889) by the Dutch writer Louis Couperus.
