PROSPER

Gender: Masculine

Usage: French, English

Pronounced: pro-SPER (French), PRAHS-pər (English)   [key]

From the Roman name Prosperus, which meant "fortunate, successful" in Latin. This was the name of a 5th-century saint, a supporter of Saint Augustine. It has never been common as an English name, though it was used by the Puritans, partly because it is identical to the English word prosper.
