So,do you know where your name(real) comes from?What about it's meaning?

My name's meaning is "youthful" and it comes from Latin.Many women back then,in Ancient Rome were named Julia.

I looked up what my name means on several different sites a while ago, and found out that my name has the best meaning ever. Claudia comes from Latin and it means "lame". Wonderful, I know. I don't really know anything else about it.

I thought Claudia also meant "beautiful".

[Kisala]

I looked mine up in the alternate spelling... and I got a couple of things, and that name hasn't been around for a VERY long time. :\ It was kind of popular in the 1900's-1960's.

One site shows me the longer form of the name which I put... which is Greek meaning "well spoken". And is an early 4th-century saint and martyr from Merida in Spain.

I looked for my name spelled how it is... and I got directed to a dog name page.



I think basically, my name means absolutely nothing.

 

[Fusilli]

I think my name means 'God is gracious' or something like that. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with God and grace though. >_>

Well, according to wikipedia:

Jane is a feminine given name. It is the English form of the Old French name Jehanne, which was an old feminine form of the male name Johannes or Ioannes, a Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης or Ioannes, which is derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן or Yochanan, meaning "Yahweh is gracious."

Oh, and apparently my name in Germany is 'Hanne', 'Giovanna' in Italy, 'Ivanna' in Russia, and 'Siobhan' or 'Sheena' in Ireland. Wtf? Ah well..

 

[Mitsuki]

Er, my name doesn't have any meaning. The first 3 letters came from my mom's name (also first 3 letters of her name), and the last three letters came from my dad's name as well (this time last 3 letters of his name). Put them together and voila, my name!

...Only now they're not together anymore, so uh, gee, I really would like a name change now.

 

[Dean Winchester]

My name is somehow related to "the one with the silver hair" or something along those lines. Now I quite want my hair to be silver....

 

[Crazee Dayzee]

My name means Laurel in Latin... which is a plant. ..XD
I wish my name was more interesting.

I was hoping my middle name'd be more interesting, but I just now came to find out that it meant "ash wood." Blah.

 

[Kotoumaru]

My name is Konstantinos. It is Greek but its roots are Latin. It is the name of Great Konstantinos, the Emperror of Byzantium.
It states a never-changing permanence, stability.

Cheers.

 

[Jiro]

My name has a meaning the Sioux language, apparently. It means Friend. But there's some other language where it means Warrior or some such. I'm too lazy to find out

 

[Bei Bei]

My name has different meanings depending on how the characters are spelled, but my name means 'Beautiful Fragrance'

 

[aramant13]

My name means "he who loves God", but I think (now) that I'm not really so. I think that God doesn't exist, besides I hate my name (Amedeo) because it have a rubbishy (it is right?) pronunciation.

 

[Kermit the Frog]

Gender: Girl


Origin: Germanic
Meaning: Work; effort; strain
Origin: Hebrew
Meaning: Work of the Lord
Pronunciation: (ah MEE lee ah); (ah MEEL yah) [Guide]
Form of: Amalia
Used in: English and German speaking countries
Additional info: Amelia is actually derived from two names: "Emilia," a Latin name meaning "rival," and "Amalia," a Germanic name meaning "work" or "labor." Henry Fielding popularized this name with his novel "Amelia" in 1751. More recently, the name took center stage in the "Amelia Bedelia" children's book series.

It was also the name of several British princesses in the 18th century - Princess Amelia Sophia was the daughter of George II, and the youngest of George III's fifteen children was named Amelia.

"Amelia" is also the term for a birth defect in which a child is born without limbs, from the Greek prefix "a-" ("none") and the word "melea" ("limbs").

Amelia Earhart was an aviatrix, she was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She later disappeared on an attempt to circumnavigate the globe.

The name is particularly popular in England and Wales, where it was the 10th most popular name in 2007.

[Saki Kasukabe]

My first name is James. All I can say that it originates from Scotland.

"Nachlader" comes from a German electronica artist known by the same name. In German, "Nachlader" means "Reloader", I picked as my intarwebz name because the artist isn't very well known (not so I can STEALZ it, but because at least it's not like how someone would call themselves "Foo Fighters" or something). My signature, "An Die Wand" is a song produced by the aforementioned artist, and pretty much a one hit wonder. It means "Off the wall" or "At the wall", by "at", it means it's coming off it.

 

[Erythritol]

"The Hebrew word sarah indicates a woman of high rank, and is sometimes translated as 'princess' or goddess, or 'high holy one'."

I was Abraham's wife in the Bible. Sweet deal.

 

[Scarlet]

Jessica -

This name was first used in this form by Shakespeare in his play 'The Merchant of Venice' (1596), where it belongs to the daughter of Shylock. Shakespeare probably based it on the biblical name ISCAH which would have been spelled Jesca in his time. It was not commonly used as a given name until the middle of the 20th century.

The Hebrew root sakhah (ס.כ.ה) means "to see", so the name Yiskah, with the added yud, implies foresight or clairvoyance.

Jessica also means rich and god beholds.

 

[Donald Trump]

Meh my name isn't really a name.
Hal is short for Henry or Harold.
Henry is Germanic and means ruler of home.
Harold means Army Leader, and is Scandinavian.
Mine also comes from Shakespeare, as in King Henry, the king was called prince Hal.

JAMES Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Biblical
Pronounced: JAYMZ (English) [key]
English form of the Late Latin name Iacomus which was derived from Ιακωβος (Iakobos), the New Testament Greek form of the Hebrew name יַעֲקֹב (Ya'aqov) (see JACOB). This was the name of two apostles in the New Testament. The first was Saint James the Greater, the apostle John's brother, who was beheaded under Herod Agrippa in the Book of Acts. The second was James the Lesser, son of Alphaeus. Another James (known as James the Just) is also mentioned in the Bible as being the brother of Jesus.Since the 13th century this form of the name has been used in England, though it became more common in Scotland, where it was borne by several kings. In the 16th century the Scottish king James VI inherited the English throne, becoming the first ruler of all Britain, and the name grew much more popular. Famous bearers include the explorer Captain James Cook (1728-1779), the inventor of the steam engine James Watt (1736-1819), and the novelist and poet James Joyce (1882-1941). This name has also been borne by six American presidents. A notable fictional bearer is the British spy James Bond, created by author Ian Fleming.
