Real-world considerations
- Spelling note: Virginie.
- The original meaning of the Roman family name Verginius/Virginius is explicitly noted as uncertain; the popular 'virgin' association is a long-standing folk reading rather than a confirmed etymology, and this profile preserves that distinction rather than presenting 'virgin' as the settled direct meaning.
