The shruti or sruti is a Sanskrit term, which in the context of Indian music, is considered the smallest interval of pitch that the human ear can detect. It has been used in several contexts throughout the history of Indian music. Śhruti, often spelled sruti or sruthi mainly in South India, is the body of sacred texts comprising the central canon of Hinduism and is one of the three main sources of dharma. These sacred works span much of the history of Hinduism, beginning with some of the earliest known Hindu texts and ending in the early modern period with the later Upanishads.

This name derives from the Medieval Latin “Francus / Franciscus,” meaning “Franco, belonging to the people of the Franks.” In turn, the name derives from the Germanic “*frankô / *franka,” meaning “javelin, spear.” Ultimately the name is a derivative of the Proto-Germanic “*sahsą,” meaning “knife, dagger.” The Franks, in the Middle Ages, were the only ones who enjoyed the rights of free citizens; the term “frank” means “free man, sincere or true.” The term can be associated with the baptismal name since the ninth century. Originally it refers to a Germanic people who derived their tribal name from a type of ax they used in the past. The Francisca (or Francesca) is a throwing ax used as a weapon during the early Middle Ages by the Franks, among whom it was a typical national weapon at the time of the Merovingians from 500 to 750 known to have been used during the reign of Charlemagne (768-814). Francis of Assisi was an Italian Catholic friar and preacher. He founded the men’s Franciscan Order, the women’s Order of St. Clare, and the Third Order of Saint Francis, for men and women not able to live the lives of itinerant preachers, followed by the early members of the Order of Friars Minor or the monastic lives of the Poor Clares.

Sondra

This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Aléxandros (Ᾰ̓λέξᾰνδρος),” composed of two elements: “aléxō ‎(ἀλέξω)” (keep off, turn aside, guard, protect, defend, help) plus “anḗr ‎(ἀνήρ) andrós ‎(ἀνδρός)” (man “adult male,” husband). In turn, the name means “defender of men, protector of men.” This definition is an example of the widespread reason of Greek (or Indo-European more generally) names expressing “battle-prowess,” in this case, the ability to resist or push back an enemy battle line. The earliest attested form of the name is the Mycenaean Greek feminine anthroponym (the name of a person) “arekasadara” transcribed as “Alexandra,” written in the Linear B syllabic script. The name was one of the titles or epithets given to the Greek goddess Hera and, as such, usually understood as “one who comes to save warriors.” The most famous connection to this root is Alexander the Great, who created one of the greatest empires in ancient history.

Sorcha is a Gaelic feminine given name. It is common to both the Irish and Scottish Gaelic languages and is derived from a Gaelic word meaning “brightness.” In Scotland, “Sorcha” has traditionally been Anglicised as “Clara,” which retains the name’s Gaelic meaning: the English “Clara” is derived from the Latin “Clàrus,” meaning “bright, famous.” The variant pronunciation of this name is commonly confused by English-speakers with both the masculine “Seóirse” (equivalent to Georgia) and the feminine “Saoirse,” a modern repurposing of the Irish vocabulary word “saoirse” which means “freedom.”

Sabryna

It is a feminine given name taken from the Roman name for the “Severn,” a river in Mid-Wales which flows into England. The name comes from the Welsh “Habren / Hafren,” which in turn derives from the Proto-Brythonic “*Haβ̃ren > *Saβ̃ren,” meaning “plowed land.” Hafren (water nymph) was a legendary Celtic princess who was drowned in the River Severn. The legend appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s pseudohistorical chronicle Historia Regum Britanniae. According to Geoffrey, Hafren is the eponym of the Severn, which bears one of Britain’s most ancient river names (recorded as early as the 2nd century in the Latinized form Sabrina).

Samanta

Samantha is a feminine given name. It was first recorded in the 18th-century in New England, but its etymology is unknown. A suggested origin is from the masculine given name Samuel from the root “sh’ma alohim > sh‘ma ‘êl > shemû’êl” and the Greek “ánthos (ἄνθος),” meaning “flower.” A variant of this speculation is that it may have been a feminine form of Samuel with the addition of the already existing female name Anthea. Other suggestions include the Aramaic noun “šemʿanta,” meaning “listener.” Samantha was out of fashion in the United States for the majority of the first half of the 20th-century but reappeared among the top 1,000 names for girls in 1958 when it ranked in 998th position, and 1959 when it listed in 993rd place. It originated in America in the 18th-century but was reasonably uncommon until 1964 when it was popularized by the main character on the television show ‘Bewitched.’

Samuela

This name derives from the Hebrew “sh’ma alohim > sh ‘ma ‘êl > shemû’êl,” meaning “his name is God, his name is El, The one who listens to God, God has heard.” Elohim is a grammatically plural noun for “gods” or “deity” in Biblical Hebrew. In Modern Hebrew, it is often referred to in the singular, despite the “-im” ending denoting plural masculine nouns in Hebrew. It is generally thought that Elohim is a formation from “eloah,” the latter being an expanded form of the Northwest Semitic noun “il (ʾēl).” It is a name of Biblical tradition and one of two books of the Old Testament and the Hebrew Tanakh. As a Christian name, Samuel came into common use after the Protestant Reformation. Famous bearers include the American inventor Samuel Morse (1791–1872), the Irish writer Samuel Beckett (1906–89), and the American author Samuel Clemens (1835–1910), who wrote under the pen name Mark Twain. In the Old Testament, it is used by Samuel, prophet, and last of the Judges of Israel. The name Samuel is given to different characters in the Bible: 1) Son of Elkanah by his wife Hannah and judge or prophet of Israel during Saul and David’s days. 2) Son of Ammihud spelled ‘Shemuel,’ and the prince of the tribe of Simeon, who was chosen to divide the land of Canaan between the tribes. 3) Son of Tola and grandson of Issachar also spelled ‘Shemuel.’

Sanchia

The origin is dubious. It may be a derivation of “Sanctus,” a Latin form of the name Santo. However, it is also possible it derives from some ancient Iberian name, perhaps of Basque origin, a thesis supported by its spread from the region of Navarre and its extraordinary spread in the Basque country during the early Middle Ages. In this case, a possible etymology could be from “zaintsu / zantsu” (wiry, muscular, vigorous), which in turn comes from “zain / zañ” (root, vein). 1) Sancha of Portugal (1178–1229) was a Portuguese infanta, second daughter of King Sancho I of Portugal, and Dulce of Aragon. 2) Sancha Alfonso (~1013–1067), was Queen de Jure of León from 1037 to 1065 and Countess Consort, later Queen Consort of Castile (1035–1065). She is worshiped as blessed by the Catholic Church.
