    What Does Your Real Name Mean?

    If you can or wish, provide your given first name. Give us its meaning and origin. I'll go first:

    Amanda: Latin (Worthy of Love)
    FRANCISCO
    For this relief much thanks: 'tis bitter cold,
    And I am sick at heart.

    Trevor: Welsh
    It comes from the name of an actual place, and means "great settlement" or "big village".
    The book itself is a curious artifact, not showy in its technology but complex and extremely efficient: a really neat little device, compact, often very pleasant to look at and handle, that can last decades, even centuries. It doesn't have to be plugged in, activated, or performed by a machine; all it needs is light, a human eye, and a human mind. It is not one of a kind, and it is not ephemeral. It lasts. It is reliable.

    Means you are,at heart, a big city boy Trevor!
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    My name is the Sweedish spelling of an Austrian name, so there's a bit of debate about it's meaning! However, the one I usually go with is: Birgitta: place of strength or stonghold.

    The meaning of the name Anna is gracious, merciful
    The origin of the name Anna is Hebrew, originally a form of HANNAH.

    In Finnish "Anna" is an imperative form of verb "to give"
    Anna (minulle)! Give (me)!

    Mine (Noha) means 'those who have wisdom'...not sure how well that fits me though

    Muhsin and it means 'Doer of good'. Originated from Arabic language.
    The source of any bad writing is the desire to be something more than a person of sense--the straining to be thought a genius. If people would say what they have to say in plain terms, how much eloquent they would be.
