I wish to try and astonish my daughter who is learning Latin.
Can someone help me with the following:
The latin spelling of Emily, Lorraine, Keith.
The latin meaning of those names if there is one.
Assistance very much appreciated in advance.

Emily = Aemilia, from the Roman family name Aemilius.
Lorraine is a region of France. An old Latinized name is Lotharingia (= Lothair's kingdom.)
The only thing you can do with Keith is stick "us" on the end. "Keithus"
