What's in a name - S

What is this?
What's in a name? Or, the rose by any other name...Well, not necessarily. Many names in the US come from various foreign origins, from other languages where they had meanings unknown to native English speaker. Here's my short list of such last (but not least :) names, as far as my memory and knowledge of a few languages can take it.
