ArchivesRe: Two Female names
in reply to a message by SierraEcho
Working from first principles, Calligenia looks like a Greek name (or, at least a potential Greek name constructed from existing name-parts; I don't know if it's legit).
If it is a Greek name, it would mean "born beautiful", from kallos "beautiful" and genes "born". C/f the 'Calli' in Calliope and the 'genia' in Iphigenia (click links).
Adriel looks like a male Hebrew name, but I can't help any more than that.

Yep, Adriel's a male Hebrew name. I knew a man named Adriel. The name was in the bible as the husband of Merav. It means flock of god from eder - flock/herd and el - god.
This is if it's spelled with an ayin, like in the bible, but I've heard of it starting with an aleph, and in that case I have no idea what it means, and people don't misspell names here :/
