How the meanings are grouped
A name can carry more than one meaning, so most appear under several headings. Xóchitl is filed under flower and nature, Citlali under star and sky, Guadalupe under Marian and faith. The groupings follow the sense of the name in its own language, not a loose association: Fernanda is filed under peace because the Germanic element frithu means peace, not because the name sounds calm.
Where a popular meaning is not supported by the dictionaries, the name page says so rather than repeating it. See how this site is compiled.
