## Etymology

* Lucretia is the feminine form of the Roman family name *Lucretius*, possibly from Latin *lucrum* meaning "profit, wealth". In Roman legend Lucretia was a maiden who was raped by the son of the king of Rome. This caused a great uproar among the Roman citizens, and the monarchy was overthrown. This name was also borne by a saint and martyr from Spain.
* Edelweiss is the common flower name for *Leontopodium alpinum*, it's derived from the German elements *edel* "noble" and *weiß* "white." The name of the flower is spelled *Edelweiß* in German; Edelweiss is an Anglicized spelling.
	+ Edelweiss in the language of flowers signifies deep love and devotion whereby men harvest the flower on daring steeps and fatal climbs to prove love and to show occasions of devotion. It’s synonymous with the alpine terrain, and those of the Alps find it a flower of purity that instills a great sense of patriotism with its meanings. It’s short life span and remote habitation have inspired the folklore of Alps inhabitants to signify the Edelweiss with national prestige.
* d'Aureville literally means "from Aureville". Aureville is a commune in southwestern France, which was established in late medieval times. It derives its name from Latin aurea villa or villa aurea which literally means "golden country-house, golden farm" but of course later came to mean "golden village".
