What's the meaning of your name?

That is a vey good question.Acturely every name has the different meaning,and some will be very interesting.My name is related with my family,I have a twin brother,he is just 5 minutes younger than me!Fantastic!So when my uncle were making names for us,he thought about the unique feature.Accidently,my name is the same with a great person in the history of China.Untill now,I am still proud to own that name.I should work hard for that great name,because I can not insult it although it is just a symbol.By the way,adding my name to my brother'one means civilization in Chinese slang.

i am the second child in my family. because my elder sister name stands for a swallow in the forest. thus i was simply named with a meaning that the second swallow coming to the forest. it's really simple and funny. but i have no choice.

i did asked my mom how i was named, she said it was from her favorite charlie's angels character. :) my chinese name though is different, my grandmom gave it to me and all people who knows my name told me my name in chinese is beautiful. :) it means, kindness of heart. :)

I know my father was catholic and loved the name Theresa sao, I assume it's the saint which I am definately not wrong. Wrong name for me, wish my name was Rebel lol

Thats funny when I was child I never liked my name but after I became christian I found out it means blessed and I do fell very blessed.

Mine is really simple and easy.. it means "A Pearl". I asked mom where she got my name and it was the name of one of her best friends.. and it rhymes with my sister's name. (no we aren't twins! lol!)

...glen-da... a fertile valley.. I'm taurus, the grazing bull, very nature minded, so I like the meaning..

Apparently my aunt chose my name for me saying' let her be well versed in arts and studies'--my name is the shortened version of the name of Goddess SARASWATHI. We believe that she bestows intelligence, good powers of expression and good grasp of lessons. On the ninth day of the Durga festival we honour Goddess Saraswathi and pray to this goodess thanking her for all her bounties. It is called SARASWATHI Pooja.This goddess is also called by other names like Kalaivani,Kalaiarasi, etc..,'Kalai'means 'art'. I am happy that my aunt chose this name for me .

my name was taken from prophet muhammad. so my name means Muhammad the true

My name is, at it worst meaning, I just learned, means "snub-nosed". What? Ugh! I love my name but, that stinks...no pun intended! But, a much nicer origin is: Courtney or Courtenay came to England with the Norman Conquest in 1066. There various places in Northern France named Courtenay, as well as the family being an important dynasty in the Middle Ages, both in France and in England, where they are the Earls of Devon. Courtney has also been associated with the French nickname 'court nez' meaning short or snub-nosed. It was at it's height of popularity in the late 80's to mid 90's. My name is spelled Cortney, without a U. So, I am happy to say that it is not the Courtenay version that means "Snub-nosed" or even the Americanized version of Courtney (with a u). I am my own definition!

My name is Melissa and it apparently means honey bee. My mom didn't know the meaning but she just liked the name and so she chose it. I like to think that it's a good name for me because I can be as sweet as honey but I can sting like a bee sometimes ;-P

My first name is completly made up. My mom told me that when she was younger she had an imaginary friend with my current name. I used to wish that I had a common name but now I appreciate how unique it is. my last name means Martyr in Arabic...I think that's pretty cool :-)

My name means 'of noble birth' - well they got that wrong, no silver spoon for me! My friend was named after a book, poor thing. Another is named after a famous set of Irish hills.... Another (male) was named after a film his mother had been watching, a western (Shane!) Just think, when you name your kid - they are stuck with it for life, no matter whether they like it or not! We are all BLESSed in one way or another - we had a loving mother!

In china many parents name their child with many meanings like beautiful, rich,wise,lovely,and something like that. Sometimes if the child's brith comes across the anniversary of someday like national day or mid-autumn festival etc, this child's name might name after such meaningful day in chinese.So you can imagine how many identical names are in China.In late 60's as for the political reason, many parents named their chindren as "red" for the purpose of demonstrating their heart for the party.In the 70's children ofter had 2 words' name which sounded simple. But with the increasing amount of the population, 3 or even 4 words names appeared. At present children's names sounds like the love story novels(like Qiongyao, the famous writer in Taiwan, who is good at affecting love story).I don't know why.LOL.In my opinon, I will give my son or daughter a simple and unforgettable name.

I went to a website a feww years ago to find the meaning of my name. since my parents just wanted to be different in the spelling. My first name is Kati and my middle name is Lynn. They were gonna go by Kaitlyn, but my dad decided to be different and do Kati Lynn. When I went on the site though, it told my name meant Pure/Virginal. Which isn't always true. [: hehe. but that's the basic meaning of my name.. I wasn't named after anyone or anything special.

Hello heart143 :) My name is Christine. And its very common, but I like it. I guess the meaning of the name is obvious. My mom gave it to me, from the word "Christian" or from the name "Christ". We are catholic-christians :)

My name is Samantha. My mom says she named me after a friend, and sometimes she says she named me after the witch, Samantha, on the television show Bewitched. She changes her story a lot, so you never know. My name is of a Hebrew origin and is supposed to mean "good listener." However, this was not always true of me! When I was really little, I didn't talk much, but once I hit three or four years old, you just couldn't shut me up. I would babble and babble to anyone and anything about whatever I could. I LOVED to talk. Fortunately, I am much older now, and I realize that it is not only important to talk, but it's important to listen to. I can't help but laugh when I see videotapes of myself talking a mile a minute when I was little though!

My name is Stefanie it means "Crowned One". My mother said she picked out our middle names, because she named us after different family members, first. Then she went through names she had picked out and seen which ones went best with my middle name. She didnt like the PH in it though so she changed it to an F.

i am named sarah by my mother which we all know means princess.. she has chosen that name for me because when i was born, the princess sarah movie was a very popular one.. so she decided to name me...actually she was also thinking before of naming me constance.. haha. sounds very historical. haha!

my name is deracht. In germany language, it can be spelled as "der acht". in English, it mean "the eight" why i got that name ? because i was born at many number of eight....that's my lucky number ... i think. what do you think 'bout that?
