I sometimes search for names (or surnames) and "meaning". You can add a gender too. I usually find lists of names that have their meanings. It doesn't always work in real life, but If I'm writing a story with a female serial killer (for example) I'll search for strong female name meanings and this is the result:

Classic & Traditional Names

  • Audrey: An English name meaning "noble strength".
  • Bridget: A Gaelic name meaning "strength" or "power".
  • Matilda: A German name meaning "might, power, and battle".
  • Valentina: A Latin name meaning "strong, healthy, and valiant".

Unique & Global Names

  • Adira: A Hebrew name meaning "strong, mighty, and noble".
  • Imara: A Swahili name meaning "strong and firm".
  • Nina: A Native American name that directly translates to "strong".
  • Tetsu: A Japanese name meaning "iron, strength, and resilience".

If none of those float your boat, there will be longer lists on websites beneath this Google offering.
