Hi guys, after looking up my name ain wikipedia and googling it. I strted thinking about posting this thread to see what's the meaning of other people's names. Soooo.... what's the meaning of your name? Look in wikipedia.com at your name.

My name in wikipedia is " flame head", or "born of fire" I think it's real awsome. EDIT:I looked again and I found that my name also means "handsome one", and "royal oath." And I have my own holdiday on October 11th WHOOO!!!! Saint Kenneth's Day WHOO!!! And I have Kenneth city in Florida. And I think another time it said wise one.

well i dk about wiki thingy but mines suposed to mean gift of god or somin like that....

"who is like God?" or "likened unto God"

Woah, I never knew there was a type of Indian mango with my name.

I'm named after Ireland's longest river. (In case you don't want to look that up, my name's Shannon :lol: ). But I've heard of two meanings... The fist one I don't know to be true, is 'Beautiful' :eyebrow: but the second one I know to be true is 'Little old wise one'. :think:

If I remember correctly my name means something along the lines of Brave warrior, i'll look it up and edit once I get back.

Mine means a strong and natural leader I think. My surname means king/leader and even my middle name means that....maybe I should rule the world. mwahaha! no joke...XD

It comes from Greek origin, meaning "healer".

wow, me a healer ^_^

Apparently my name means small, little. That explains why I'm only 192 CM tall :mellow:

My name means Lover of Horses, or Horse Lover.... But I don't think that's really the truth. I'm having my own speculations about the origin.

mine means "guarder of the house"

Means "bright fame", derived from the Germanic elements hrod "fame" and beraht "bright". The Normans introduced this name to Britain. It belonged to three kings of Scotland, including Robert the Bruce who restored the independence of Scotland from England in the 14th century. The author Robert Browning and poets Robert Burns and Robert Frost are famous literary bearers of this name. Also, Robert E. Lee was the commander of the Confederate army during the American Civil War.

For those that want to give it a try...

I cant find a meaning for my name

Well I looked it up in many places. In Scottland I have a region named after me, and they say that the background or root of the name comes from "Church".

I too am a special launage that some people known as [i]Bell Labs[/] used my name at their launage...dunno what that's about.

I think theirs a town in Florida named Paisley too...but in the dictionary is says "1. Made of a soft wool fabric with a colorful, woven or printed and swirled pattern of abstract curved shapes. 2. Marked with this pattern"

BTW...my names Paislie.

Well, somethings weird-and forgot to tell you all as well.

My full name, Seth Ryan King-Gengler, actually is KongMing in chinese. Now, if anyone of you know about The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and it's history (Or Dynatsy Warriors x_x ) Then you know that Zhuge Liang's chinese name is KongMing.

Don't worry, I went all around on sites, and it was different. When I was studying the Romance of The Three Kingdom eras and The Fall of The Han, I wanted a professional Chinese name for myself.

Some shop downtown did actually this. (Dont worry, it isn't a rip off. :heh: I looked into it a bit) So, I filled out a sheet of characteristics, and since this old guy looked, and was expierenced (Immigrant from China. Came like 15 yrs ago, and is something like 70-80 yrs old hah.) he determined my name. Wehn I saw KongMing, I was like.. WTF!?

Trust me, this was awesome. This also means, that I had very, very, very similar charateristics to Zhuge Liang (KongMing) only when I am my trueself.

ok my chinese names:
Yau- can't find... and parents don't know XD
Chu- Charming/ clever
Ying- Full of (as in full of character or something...)

Jessica-From the Hebrew for 'wealthy one'.
Marie-(can't find)

http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Marie

Marie= star of the sea...or so the internet says

Mary is a popular female given name. It is possibly derived from either the Aramaic saying "Mar-i-yah" which means "My God is Yah"; Yah is short for Yahweh; or from the Hebrew name Miryam, thought to mean "bitter" or "rebellious" or from the ancient Egyptian name Mery, meaning "beloved" Variations on the name include Marie and Maria.

EDIT: Doh! Should have turned the page...

Juno= in korean
Ju-God's
No=Warrior, servant, henchman, assassin

PS: Jeez M, ur smart. but im psycho. MuhaHaha! Yay!

a common given name. It is the most popular name for a male in the United States, and during the 1990 U.S. Census, approximately 3.3% of males counted had the first name. It is derived from the same Hebrew name as Jacob, meaning "grasps by the heel" or "supplanter," probably in a deceiving way (In the bible Jacob was born grasping Esau's heel and later bought his birthright).

Mine's who is like the Lord...

My Chinese names:
Hoang(surname) means Yellow
Jai: good

"Remembered by God"

Jessica is a name from the Hebrew Yiskah (יִסְכָּה), name of a daughter of Haran, meaning "the Lord beholds" or "the Lord's gift."

The Hebrew root sakhah (ס.כ.ה) means "to see," so the name Yiskah, with the added yud, implies foresight or clairvoyance. There is midrash by Rashi suggesting that Yiskah is also a name for Sarah, so the meaning of this name makes sense for two reasons: people would gaze at her beauty, and she was known to be a prophetess. The name Jessica also stands for wealth.
