Feces eria, Valeria
Godfather orthodox name: Caleria and also Valeria
: The female name Valeria (Valeria) comes from the Latin valere and means "strong, strong health" (the same root as in the name of Valentine). Regarding the name Kaleria, there is every reason to believe that this beautiful and proud name was formed by chance, as a result of a simple mistake in rewriting Valery's name from Latin into Greek (instead of Βαλλερία it turned out to be Καλλερία). Nevertheless, the name Kaleria firmly entered life, received recognition, became a completely independent female name.

Carol and on
Godfather orthodox name: is absent
The meaning, origin of the name: From the European male names Karl, Charles and Charles (Carl, Charles) several female names are formed - Karla, Carolina and Charlotte (Carla, Carline, Karolina, Charlotte).

The Latinized form of the name Karl became Karolus, and then Carolus. The French form of the name is Charles (Charles), it also passed to the British - Charles (Charles). The name was borne by such a large number of European sovereign rulers that in a number of countries it became associated with the very concept of "king" and "royal power", for example, Charles I Stuart (English) and Charles XII (Swedish) in Russia are called "king", in Czech Republic - "kral", Poland "krol", Latvia "karalis", while the English, Swedish, French, German and Swedish "kings" Karl actually bore the titles king (king), kung (kung), roi ( rua), koenig (könig).
