[birgitta_nell@y]

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.

[ClaesGefvenberg]

Interesting thread... :thumbs_up

OK, here we go: Claes is a Swedish version of Nicolaus (of Greek origin), which I find pretty amusing when you connect the fact that I was born on Christmas Day, with the fact that the Greek Saint Nicholaus over the years have turned into the Anglo-Saxon Santa Claus: Father Christmas. :lol:

As it happens, my daughters name (Nicole) also originates from Nicolaus :D

/Claes

[Themis]

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

My given first name's latin too and means "star".

@Claes: Saint Nikolaus (Nicholas) is still celebrated on the 6th of December over here. We don't have a Father Christmas so far.

[IJustMadeThatUp]

Hmmm, I started to browse intoo the old threads, this one is very interesting. my first name means two things in my mother tongue: "lilly of the valley" and " tears". Somehow antagonic...

I'm pretty sure lily of the valley is symbolic of death. That's what I've always heard anyway. So, if that's true, I guess the two meanings fit.

Edit: OH! My name is a funny one. I get all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff.

Google Result One:
The girl's name Carly \c(a)-rly, car-ly\, also used as boy's name Carly, is a variant of Carla (Latin), Carlie, Carol (English), Caroline (French, Latin, Italian) and Charlotte (French), and the meaning of Carly is "little and womanly".

Google Result Two:
Origin: German

Origin: English

Google Result Three:
The Meaning of the name Carly
The meaning of the name Carly is as follows: Female ruler
The Origin of the name Carly

No wonder why I'm such a confused person!

[Maximilianus]

Maximiliano (or Maximilian, in English) comes from Latin Maximilianus (I didn't come up with a fanciful user name :p), and it means "the greatest".

Oh no, I'm not that big. I'm just a regular sized dude :rolleyes:

[BienvenuJDC]

Bienvenu means Welcome

[JuniperWoolf]

Robin... I'm thinking "bird." It probably doesn't get any deeper than that.

/Claes

One of my English teachers in high school was supposed to be named Nicholas, but when he was born on Christmas eve, his mother decided she didn't want his name connected to the holiday. The name she picked? Christian.

My name, Katrina, is the Finnish/Greek/Swedish/No one seems to know form of Katherine, thus officially meaning pure, but permanently connected to that little weather occurrence a few years back.

I didn't know this ... In my culture lilly of the valley is the symbol of the spring ( one of them ). Sounds nice any way because we are born to die, after all, hehehheh.

[Lokasenna]

Well, I'm a David, and that means 'beloved' in Hebrew. It's also as common as muck, but I prefer that... can't be doing with batty names...

[Heathcliff]

My name is Frances, apparently that is supposed to mean free woman in some sort of something. Suppose that's alright.

[blazeofglory]

My name is Hariol Acharya. Haribol means speaking god's name.

[Madhuri]

My name means sweetness.

Madhu - Honey
Madhur - sweet
Madhuri - sweetness

[Haunted]

I hate my name and I hate its meaning, so I won't share.

I do have a literary name, it means pure. It sounds about right...it's all pure fiction. :p

[BienvenuJDC]

But some wanted to know...

[Haunted]

But some wanted to know...

And who might they be? I'm in the Federal Witness Protection program ;)

[Maximilianus]

I hate my name and I hate its meaning, so I won't share.
Aww... how bad can it be?


But some wanted to know...


And who might they be? I'm in the Federal Witness Protection program ;)

I would be one because I'm curious... and I'm no hitman... though you have the right to remain unconfident :p

[symphony]

My real name means "as bright as as the sun" in bangla (I'm from Bangladesh). In some cases it also comes to mean "sun goddess".

[Lumiere]

My name means (Margaret) means "pearl" Kind of dull, but classy in a simple way.

It's old fashioned. This used to irk me, but I grew into it. I like old books, old movies, old music, old people. It's only proper that I have an old name.

[Maximilianus]

My name is Frances, apparently that is supposed to mean free woman in some sort of something. Suppose that's alright.
You may like to know what I found:

Frances is the feminine form of Francis, which in turn is the English form of the Late Latin name Franciscus which meant "Frenchman". Now, according to one source (free online dictionary), the word French itself comes from Old English Franca, related to Old High German Franko, perhaps from the name of a typical Frankish weapon (in Old English franca means "javelin").

So we could say (maybe) that our Frances is a javelin :D


My real name means "as bright as as the sun" in bangla (I'm from Bangladesh). In some cases it also comes to mean "sun goddess".

It would be nice to know the name, if you want to share of course :)

[Haunted]

I would be one because I'm curious... and I'm no hitman... though you have the right to remain unconfident :p

Bad...very bad...

I know you're no hitman Max, but how could you be sure I'm not a hitwoman? If I tell you, I'll have to kill you :wink5:

[symphony]

It would be nice to know the name, if you want to share of course :)

Bhaswati. Bhaswati Mazumder.

[soundofmusic]

I have had several patients who could not pronounce my name; though it is simple. One day, when two of the ladies were looking perplexed, I told them my name and blew with my lips; they kept blowing and laughing the rest of the day....

[DanielBenoit]

Bhaswati. Bhaswati Mazumder.

Ohh I just looove Sanskrit names (please tell me that your name is Sanskrit to save myself the embarresment :redface:)

[BienvenuJDC]

Bad...very bad...

I know you're no hitman Max, but how could you be sure I'm not a hitwoman? If I tell you, I'll have to kill you :wink5:

I'm willing to take that risk...;)

Yeeah, like what Max's real name is... and if he's indeed a hitman... ;)

[AmericanEagle]

I hate my name and I hate its meaning, so I won't share.


Bad...very bad...

Oh, come on, Haunted. Your name isn't bad at all. I personally think it's a nice name. :)

[Maximilianus]

Yeeah, like what Max's real name is... and if he's indeed a hitman... ;)

I revealed the obvious thing a few posts back... my name only... not if I'm a hitman.... not yet :brow: :D

AE, you're not going to blow my cover, are you? It's NCIS classified.

AE, you're not going to blow my cover, are you? It's NCIS classified.

Well, I'm not going to blow your cover, but I really do think it's a nice name. The fact that it's NCIS classified doesn't really mean much to me, though, since I'm not American. :p

[JuniperWoolf]

It's also as common as muck, but I prefer that... can't be doing with batty names...

I agree. I'm seriously considering naming my first-born son "Frank," out of spite of these frilly, new-age names like "Neveah" and "Blayze" (the names of two babies that I actually know).

[BienvenuJDC]

Well, I'm not going to blow your cover, but I really do think it's a nice name. The fact that it's NCIS classified doesn't really mean much to me, though, since I'm not American. :p

Hey...Ziva David isn't American either, and she's held by the NCIS code...

[Haunted]

Well, I'm not going to blow your cover, but I really do think it's a nice name. The fact that it's NCIS classified doesn't really mean much to me, though, since I'm not American. :p

Right...NCIS is not a reality TV show :incazzato: :crazy:

Am I the only person on this planet that hates their name??

While you're at it, why don't you tell us your name? :wink5:

[AmericanEagle]

While you're at it, why don't you tell us your name? :wink5:

No. :p

Allow me to steal your line:

Well, yes, I do like my name. :)

However, I'm not one for mentioning it on a public forum.

[Hurricane]

Am I the only person on this planet that hates their name??


I used to hate my name. I didn't think it fit me at all, and still don't, except now I usually go by Kate instead of Katrina. I used to think about changing it when I turned eighteen or going by my middle name (Ellen) when I got to college, but I realized my mother would get upset, and it's really not that big of a deal.

I sure like Hurricane's name much better than mine....

[symphony]

Ohh I just looove Sanskrit names (please tell me that your name is Sanskrit to save myself the embarresment :redface:)

Well bangla (the language I speak) IS traced back to sanskrit so you have some point there.
I'm really proud of my name. :D It's a very rare name in Bangladesh. A little less rare in India, I suppose. But it's really difficult to find someone by that name in Bangladesh. And even in India I'm guessing there arent many that share my name.

[Hurricane]

Maybe we can trade names....:D


For this to work, you'd have to reveal yours. I don't want to flying blind here. :p

[Heathcliff]

Yes it is...:thumbsup:
Wow. From your pictures I'd have guessed Michael.
And Nax would be Jason.
Which if you're Michael then Pip would be.... Lucas.
Yep. I'm good...

You don't like the name Michael?

Not for me...

I couldn't imagine being anyone other than Frances.

I could cope with Sherry or Maria, but I still prefer Frances.

[Pryderi Agni]

Well...mine means the Ocean.

That is very nice.

Hmm... interesting ... http://smiles.kolobok.us/artists/just_cuz/JC_thinking.gif ... Now my search is a bit more narrowed :)

[DanielBenoit]

Okay well Daniel is just one of those boring Western Judeo-Christian names, but I've got somewhat of an interesting story behind it: My mom being somewhat devoutly Catholic when I was born wanted to call me Daniel in reference to the Book of Daniel. My dad wanted to call me Daniel because it was the name of his best friend who died in a motorcycle accident and was also the name of his favorite football player Dan Marino (I latter one is doubtful lol).

Going around school, Daniel translates to argi bushnuts. Something the outdoor ed. people learnt at camp, and it is the only name the remembered because it is funny. :rofl:
Ergh... I can't find one thing on the net to back me up. Ah well, I have full faith that the outdoor ed. kids 'know' what they are talking about.
