Brown, dark-haired, or of the moor
Derived from the Romance languages, this name traditionally describes a girl with dark hair or a tanned complexion. In Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian contexts, it is often used as a term of endearment for a brunette. It also shares roots with the word for 'Moorish' or 'from the sea' in some regional dialects.
