Virginia

Origen y significado de Virginia

Virginia comes from the Latin Verginia, feminine of the Roman family name Verginius, later associated with virgo, 'maiden, virgin.' The name evokes purity and youth. It has ancient roots and a long history: the American state was named in honour of Elizabeth I, the 'Virgin Queen.' Common in Italy, Spain and the English-speaking world, it blends classicism and elegance. With its broad, refined sound, it remains a choice of great dignity, feminine and timeless.
