Gloria

"Glory" — a radiant Latin name evoking triumph, praise, and luminous fame

Gloria comes directly from the Latin word meaning glory or fame, and was used in early Christian hymns such as the Gloria in Excelsis Deo. It entered English as a given name in the late 19th century and rose sharply in the early 20th century. The name carries an air of radiance and confidence, bolstered by cultural icons like Gloria Steinem and the pop song Gloria.
