ArchivesSome feminine names
I've found several girls' names as of late--and I can't find meanings for them! Can anyone help me? Oh, and if some aren't actually feminine, do tell me--some sound rather masculine, and I haven't got any information about any of them.
Cerian
Claron
Costagliola
Jantine
Oranel
Tercero
And...pronunciations, maybe? Thank you all so much!

sorry for the flaw in my brains...(m)
i should have thought harder about the name Oranel. I suddenly had to think about the Italian actress Ornella Muti again. Off course, the names Oranella and Ornella are related. The meaning of Ornella you can find in the database following the hyperlink. It means 'flowering ash tree'. Ornella isn't very rare in Italy. And there's the surname Ornelli, meaning 'son of Ornello', proving that the names Ornello and Ornella exists at least since surnames are in existance.

About the other names...(m)
Cerian is Welsh and the meaning is 'to love'
(see: http://www.names2be.com/welshbabynames.html)
Claron is a variant of Clarence, which means 'clear, bright' and which is mostly used as a male name, although i know that it is used on women too (Clarence, i mean)
Costagliola is an Italian surname and it is highly unlikely to be used as a firstname.
Jantine i have already answered in the previous post.
Oranel is a boys name and it comes from the ancient Italian name Oranello. The female forms are Oranelle and Oranella. The name is very old and i couldn't find a meaning of it, but the once existence of the name still can be found in the surname Oranelli, which means 'son of Oranello'.
Tercero is, like Andy said, Spanish for 'third' and it is a masculine name. You can find in the database of this site, just follow the hyperlink.

About Jantine...(m)
Jantine is Dutch and it would be the Dutch equivalent of the English Joannie.
Jan(s) is the Dutch form of John and the female form is Jantje or Jantien/Jantine, meaning 'little Jan'. Dutch female names are often male names with endings like -(t)je or ien/ine . The last form is also an ending in France, e.g. Jeannine, Nadine, Caroline, etc.

Doesn't TERCERO mean "third" in Spanish? Sounds very masculine to me.
