Used by Matteo Maria Boiardo for a female knight in his epic poem Orlando Innamorato (1483). He possibly intended it to derive from Italian brado “wild, untamed, natural” and amante “loving” or perhaps Latin amantis “lover, sweetheart, mistress”, referring to her love for the Saracen Ruggiero. Bradamante also appears in Ludovico Ariosto’s poem Orlando Furioso (1532) and Handel’s opera Alcina (1735).

Belarusian form of Svetlana.

Derived from the Germanic elements landa “land” and beraht “bright”. Saint Lambert of Maastricht was a 7th-century bishop who was martyred after denouncing Pepin II for adultery.

People with the name Ronalde have a deep inner desire to create and express themselves, often in public speaking, acting, writing or singing. They also yearn to have beauty around them in their home and work environment.
