What Does your name mean?

[Anna Mae]

Do you mean our real names or our user names? (If tokiklok=Lamb of God, I'd be interested in hearing more about that.)

[Althaia]

[CelticWarrior20]

mine is god is my judge

[Fish and Chips]

Andrew (Greek) - Strong, manly, and courageous.

Win.

[RedMage]

:rock: mine is god is my judge

Ditto. Daniels of the world, unite.

[Alexander]

Mine doesn't fit my personality at all.

Alexander: Protector of Man. I'm not the bravest person in the world. And I tend to be very quiet and shy.

And the best protecting I've done was for one of my friends under a personal attack from another person online. And she was a girl! XD

[Mr. SmartyPants]

...

...

"Little Prince"

[tokiklok]

no my real name is rachael and that means lamb of god

[Radical Dreamer]

I think mine means "maiden" or something. It's always hard to find in name books, though. XD

Andrew (Greek) - Strong, manly, and courageous.

You know, that's my brother's name, too. But his "manly" meaning is canceled out by his middle name. Phillip: Lover of horses. XDD

But my given name Cipriano,

Menaing from Cyprus

I think that term would fit me better. XD Maybe we should switch names.

OHMIGOSH THAT IS SUCH A KAWAII NAME MEANING! *bricks come flying towards window*

[Fish and Chips]

Name: Brittany
Origin: English
Meaning: From Britain

.... That's a very deep meaning.

Made in Britannia!

Interestingly, today I managed to nail down the full meaning of my entire name (first and middle, as well as surname). Quite the bizarre string of words, too.

[KhakiBlueSocks]

::Points to his signature::

Joshua: "The Lord is Salvation" or "The Lord Saves".

My middle name means "Home of Stones"...go figure that one.

[chibiphonebooth]

SAVANNAH
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English
Pronounced: sa-VAN-a
Means simply "savannah" from the English word for the large grassy plain, ultimately deriving from the Taino (Native American) word zabana.


FTW. XD

[JasonPratt]

Amusingly, my middle and last names are closely related in meaning but not in etymology. 'Reed' is obvious (thin grass). 'Pratt' however means much the same thing, except more as a group (like a meadow), which is where we get the word 'prattling' from: reeds shuffling around in the wind making a rattling sound.

Insert irony here as appropriate... {prolix g!}

'Jason' is Greek, and is a variant of the root word Ies-, which is the same root from which the far more famous 'Iesous' is built. {g} Which is why some Jews, including a high priest right before the time of Christ (as I recall), Hellenized their name 'Joshua' to 'Jason' instead of to 'Jesus'. Since there's an -on suffix, this may mean the noun is supposed to be the object of a preposition: not possesive 'of', but maybe 'from' or 'by'. (However, that rule is occasionally flumoxed by the actual process of 'namifying' a word, which is why 'Iesous' doesn't follow normal morphology in Greek grammar. So I could easily be wrong about that.)

In some Greek circles of the late 2nd century, as attested by Justin Martyr (if I recall correctly), 'Iesous/Iason' meant 'healer'. But a healer in cultured Greek would be an educated person who reads a lot.

So, my full name could be rendered: 'healer in the tall grass meadow'.

Or, 'babbling thin bookish man.' {g!}

Edit: That being said, it must be admitted that my parents probably named me after Harryhausen's movie _Jason and the Argonauts_. I'd treat Medea a _lot_ better than the classical Jason did, though... {ironic g}


(Meanwhile, fun theological exegesis: as noted earlier, Joshua means 'The Lord is salvation' or 'The Lord saves'--depending on whether an exta vowel is present in the Hebrew--which is something I think we ought to remember when reading the Gospels. Because we were told in the strongest possible language not to deny the name of Jesus; which in this regard means not denying... what? {s!})

[Sammy Boy]

My English name: either "name of God" or "God has heard".
My Chinese name: either "the understanding of the light" or "the light of dawn".

[Mr. Rogers]

James - To take the place of someone else
Michael - To be like God
Rogers - Famous spear (I guess my relatives were good with spears?)

[Stephen]

Bruce Willis said it best in Pulp Fiction.


"We're American honey, our names don't mean (censored)"


But anyway. Last I knew, Stephen meant crowned one.

[K. Ayato]

First name: Carla. Variant of the man's name Charles, meaning "manly" or "strong". So my name can mean "strong" or "womanly".

Middle name: Jean. Variant of John, meaning "God is gracious".

[Tenshi no Ai]

First name: Carla. Variant of the man's name Charles, meaning "manly" or "strong". So my name can mean "strong" or "womanly".

Heh I always hated it in baby name meaning books when they would only say "the feminine version of Carol" :/

Apparently, if I string a combination of all 3 of my names together (although not exactly in order), it means something along the line of "early, unheard of, prophetess" (heh sounds like a .hack area name^^) or something like that. I guess "strong" would also be a variant in there too, somewheres...

[sticksabuser]

My real name is in Arabic..

Arabic names are so completely cool... {g} (But your language is more self-consciously poetic than ours. Very much a shame on our part.)

[Nate]

Nathan apparently means "gift of God."

If I'm a gift, I must be a gag gift. :\

[Smile:)]

I fond one site that said Robin means Queen of morning, but I fond some other site that said it means Famous, Brilliant, Illuminated.
Yeah... none of that hits me.
All sites said the Origin was Old English.

[USSRGirl]

Sticks - Your middle name is awesome sounding. XD Both meaning and name.

My name so far as I know (if anyone out there is fluent in ancient Mongolian I'd love some help in this) is a variation of Temujin which means either "iron enforcer" or "iron man," therefore to the best of my knowledge Temulin means something like "iron enforcer" in the feminine or "iron maiden" like the torture device.

[USSRGirl]

If I'm a gift, I must be a gag gift. :\

Roflol. XDDDD
