What language are these names and what are the meaning of these names?

Franchesca


Jacqueline


Juinice (pronounced waniece; waneece)


Xandria; it has two dots above the a (the dots are side by side). It's pronounced Zandria.





Also the name Clarissa (I believe it's Italian; but not sure; think the meaning is beautiful; am I correct?).|||FRANCHESCA - American; free





JACQUELINE - French; to protect





JUINICE - Couldn't find the exact name; the closest I came was


JUIN - French, the month of June

CLARISSA - Latin; brilliant|||1 - American


2 - French


3 - I have no idea


4 - probably comes from Alexandria - Greek


5 - Latin - means "brilliant"|||Clarissa comes from Clara or Chiara, "chiaro" being italian for bright, fair, clear.





Francesca and Jacqueline come from very old names Franco, Frances, Francois (common in all roman-language countries)


and Jacob, Jacques, Jake. I believe both names have their root in antique times. There's a name Jacob mentioned in the bible already. -line is a tipical female ending, being added to a male name.





Xandria, or Alexandria, comes from the name Alexander or Xander, which is probably greek or phoenician, possibly with older roots.





Juinice - I speculate it might have a connection with Giovenice, Giove or Juve being either ancient roman foather of gods (jupiter) or female goddess of youth (Juvena).
