What is the origin of Virginia?

Virginia has its origins in the Latin language. It is used largely in English, German, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Scandinavian, and Spanish. The first name is from Verginia (Latin), the feminine version of the Roman family name 'Virginius' or 'Verginius', from the Latin virgo ('virgin, maiden'), genitive 'virginis'. The name was borne in Roman mythology by the beautiful maiden Verginia who was killed by her father Lucius Verginius to avoid the attention of the decemvir Appius Claudius; the case eventually led to an uprising against the decemviri and the re-establishment of the Roman republic. The name was first borne in America by Virginia Dare in 1587, the first baby born in the Americas to English parents; she was named after the Virginia colony on Roanoke Island in modern-day North Carolina, which was itself named after the 'Virgin Queen' Elizabeth I. The child's subsequent mysterious disappearance along with the rest of the ill-fated colony became the source of an enduring American folklore. In France and subsequently England, the name has been popularized by the Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre romance tragedy novel Paul et Virginie (1787).
