Re: Vespasia
in reply to a message by Siri
I would surmise that it's a feminization of Vespasian. I've also seen Vespa used as a feminine name and believe that would come from the same root.
Callandra sounds very familiar but I can't place it.

Thank you so much Beata.
I'm glad to finally place these names. I'm actually beginning to like Vespasia, too.

about vespers...
just want to add that vesper also has religious connections. This doesn't affect the meaning of the name but perhaps the author gave this consideration when selecting the character's name.
