Help[Facts] Re: Can you help?
in reply to a message by Crescentia
Crescentia
I think Vincentia may be a variant of Vincent , perhaps a recently made up one, but don't quote me on that. Crescentia probably has something to do with the crescent. If I'm wrong, could one of the "regulars" set me straight (even if you are a prospective "regular")?

Sounds good to me. :) Additional moon info...
I would just add that "Crescentia" does indeed have something to do with "crescent", as Phyllis said. But it literally means (from the Latin verb cresco, crescere) "to increase" or "to spring into existence".
Which is exactly what the crescent moon (at least, when it's in its waxing phases) does. :)
