Latin names belong to no single gender—they never did. The Romans used the same roots across masculine, feminine, and epicene forms, and many names traveled through English and other languages unchanged, working equally well for anyone. Patricia and Justin both descend from the Latin *patricius*; Florence and Larry share *Florentius* and *Laurentius*. Even Frances straddles the line between gender markers.
These names come from Latin verbs, virtues, and family names of the ancient world—they mean something concrete. Laurentius pointed to Laurentum, a city south of Rome. Patricius meant 'of the patrician class.' That specificity kept them alive through the Middle Ages and into modern usage, where they've become genuinely unisex rather than gendered by rule. Each entry here shows the Latin root and what it originally meant, so you understand the word behind the name.
