The origin of your first name

http://www.behindthename.com/

Mine apparently is derived from a french word, meaning 'raven' traditionally given to black-haired folk, which makes a ton of sense because I'm strawberry blonde.

My name is Camilo. The spanish version of the name Camillus which is an Ancient Roman cognomen of Etruscan origin.

Well, apparently, my name, Marko, is a cognate of Mark, which is a form of Marcus, which was a Roman name, which was probably derived from the name of the Roman god Mars.

My name originally derives from a hebrew name which means "Yahweh is gracious".

Well my first name is "Chris".It originates from jesus christ,I presume.

My second name is the one of an ancient athenian who brought democracy back to athens,after the spartans conquered it.

Named after a city in the Kingdom of Narvarro(now spain), name made popular from the famous Saint Francis Xavier.

Medieval contracted form of AUGUSTINE.

Okay, let's try Augustine.

From the Roman name Augustinus, itself derived from the Roman name AUGUSTUS.

Okay... let's try Augustus...

Means "great" or "venerable", derived from Latin augere "to increase". Augustus was the title given to Octavian, the first Roman emperor.
