Weekly Sightings #2

Here's the second round of the Weekly Sightings, even though it's a little late. 

Antonia
I overheard this name on a girl who was possibly in her twenties. Her name is of Roman origins and has a beautiful meaning of "priceless", praiseworthy", or "beautiful".

Leonora
I overheard this name on a girl who was possibly a similar age to Antonia. Her name in French means "from Helen", though it is actually of Italian origins, where it has a gorgeous meaning of "light".

Tione
I overheard this name on a girl who was possibly a similar age to Leonora and Antonia. Her name is very uncommon and is unisex, though is more heard of on girls. Her name means "ruthful", "interesting", "opinionated", "novice", or "emphatic". 

Carson
I overheard this name on a little boy who was about two years old. His name is an American surname, though it has an English meaning of "son who lives in the swamp".

Wilf
I also overheard this name on a little boy who was about two years old. His name is a diminutive of Wilfred, which itself is of Germanic routes. His name has a lovely meaning of "will" and "peace".

Noel
I overheard this name on a little boy who was of a similar age to Wilf and Carson. His name derives from the French word for Christmas, noël. Sometimes, his name is also used as a feminine name, though the more common female variant is Noelle.
