As I was looking through baby name sites, I came across a possible meaning for the girl's name Zerelda (a new favorite). Several sites say that it means "armored battle" or something similar in Teutonic. Could this be true?
Also, I recently have decided that I like the Spanish female name Maricel. When I first saw the name, I thought it looked like a combination of "
Mari" and "celi", so that the name would mean something like "
Mary of
Heaven". However, baby name sites say that Maricel is a variant of
Marcella. Which etymology is correct?
