Meanings that often turn up in the same names. Each has its own page.
How this page is made. A name is here because its meaning contains love, loved, loving or beloved or one of 10 other words close to them. It is a plain word match, not a claim that the names are related: David and Mila sit together because their meanings say the same thing, not because they share a history. A name with no meaning we can stand behind is left out rather than given one.
