    What does your name mean?

    Ever been fascinated at what your name means? Variations of your name?

    Share it here! If you don't know what your name means or where it comes from, there are free searches ALL OVER the Internet! It's really easy. Just type "name meanings" into a google search engine and a few sites of interest should come up!

    My name is Daisy.

    Daisy is a simple name, and means... well Daisy. It's the English word for the white flower. It is deprived from different meanigns, such as;

    Purity
    Beauty
    And "Day eye".

    (I have no idea what that last one is meant to mean either. )

    Variations of "Daisy" include:

    Mary
    Margareta
    Margarida

    In England and Scotland, the name was *apparently* used more in the olden times and is hardly seen anymore. (Yay me!)

    It is meant to signify hurricanes and tropical storms.


    One of my middle names is also deprived from bibical Hewbrew meaning "father is joy".


    So... What does you name mean?

    The person in my avatar is me.

    My name Dennis is a variation of the name Denis which stems from the name of the Greek god Dionysos, the god of wine and fluidity/fertility.

    The name Denis is a form of the name Dionysos that was instituted in the middle ages.

    The name Dionysos comes from the words Dios (godly/of the gods) and Nysa which is the name of a legendary mountain in Greece.

    JENNIFER
    Gender: Feminine
    Usage: English
    Pronounced: JEN-i-fur [key]
    From a Cornish form of the Welsh name Gwenhwyfar (see GUINEVERE). This name has been popular only since the beginning of the 20th century, when it was featured in George Bernard Shaw's play 'The Doctor's Dilemma'.
    Yes, my name is a bit too popular. But I never knew my name was Welsh O_o

    It also means "White Wave" and is on the most Popular Female Names in the U.S. in 2003.

    Whoa...

    Christopher
    Means "bearing Christ", derived from Late Greek Χριστος (Christos) combined with φερω (phero) "to bear, to carry". Christopher was the legendary saint who carried the young Jesus across a river. He is the patron saint of travellers. Another famous bearer was Christopher Columbus, the explorer who reached the West Indies in the 15th century.

    Frederick
    From a Germanic name meaning "peaceful ruler", derived from frid "peace" and ric "ruler, power". Several rulers of Prussia, Germany and the Holy Roman Empire have borne this name, including the 13th-century patron of the arts Frederick II of Germany, and the 18th-century Frederick II of Prussia, known as Frederick the Great. Another famous bearer was Frederick Douglass, an American ex-slave who became a leading advocate of abolition.

    And that's all you're getting XD. My last name is secret .

    Has anyone in this family ever even seen a chicken?

    "Melanie is a given name of Greek origin, meaning "dark-skinned". It also means dark eyes and hair. Incidentally, melanin is the pigment that gives humans dark skin."

    I do not have dark skin (I'm tan, but I'm not no where near being considered dark.. unless I was around some emo/goth/nerd kids.), nor dark eyes, or dark hair. Yay irony! Seriously. My kids are going to have names that mean something really neat. Not something like "dark skin" -_-;.

    Are you kidding?

    That's one of the most awesome name meanings I've seen.

    We're Earthly people! Apparently.

    Akira's name is pretty damn spot-on for his personality. Go! Find a wife and impregnate her!

    ...I tried to find Chez and Daja out of pure interest, but surprisingly (</sarcasm>), no results.
    I hate what urban dictionary says about Chez and Daja, though, heh heh heh.

    Gender: Masculine

    Usage: English, French, German, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Romanian, Jewish, Biblical

    Other Scripts: אָדָם (Hebrew), Адам (Russian, Ukrainian)

    Pronounced: A-dam

    This is the Hebrew word for "man". It could be ultimately derived from Hebrew אדם ('adam) meaning "to be red", referring to the ruddy colour of human skin, or from Assyrian adamu meaning "to make". According to Genesis in the Old Testament Adam was created from the earth by God (there is a word play on Hebrew אֲדָמָה ('adamah) "earth"). He and Eve were supposedly the first humans, living happily in the Garden of Eden until Adam ate a forbidden fruit given to him by Eve.








    LEE
    Gender: Masculine & Feminine

    Usage: English

    Pronounced: LEE

    From a surname derived from Old English leah "meadow". The surname belonged to Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate forces during the American Civil War.









    JONES
    (origin: Heb.) The same as John or Johns, and signifies gracious.

    ...and those who are prideful and refuse to bow down shall be laid low and made unto dust.

    My name is Kirsty. It is sometimes hard to find my name in these name meanings. I found it on one site but it didn't give a meaning, just the origin. I know it's Scottish.

    Kirsty Anointed, Follower of Christ Scottish
    That's all I could find LOL. Apparently I'm religous.

    Oh! I found this little piece as well, it's not very interesting but yeah.

    Kirsty / Kirsten
    The Scandinavian and then Scottish form of Christine. Kirsty was the 20th most popular girls' name in 1999, perhaps given a boost by the popular TV presenter Kirsty Wark.
    Also...

    The girl's name Kirsty is pronounced KERs-tee. It is of Scottish origin. Short form of Kristine. The name is made familiar by supermodel Kirsty Hume. Actress Kirstie Alley uses the -ie ending.

    Kirsty has 3 variant forms: Kirstee, Kirsti and Kirstie.
    And this one,

    Kirsty Cute, but cannot dance.
    THAT ONE IS TRUE!

    This is an interesting thread.

    These were the results I got from http://www.behindthename.com

    ANDREW (my first name)
    "From the Greek name Ανδρεας (Andreas), which derives from ανηρ (aner) "man" (genitive ανδρος (andros) "of a man"). In the New Testament the apostle Andrew was the brother of the apostle Simon Peter. According to legend he was crucified on an X-shaped cross, and he is the patron saint of Scotland, Russia, and Greece. This was also the name of kings of Hungary."

    PAUL (my middle name)
    From the Roman family name Paulus, which meant "small" or "humble" in Latin. Saint Paul was an important leader of the early Christian church, his story told in Acts in the New Testament. He was originally named Saul, but changed his name after converting to Christianity. Most of the epistles in the New Testament were authored by him. This was also the name of six popes. Famous bearers of this name in the art world include Paul Cezanne and Paul Gauguin, both 19th-century impressionist painters from France.

    WOLF (my last name)
    "Means simply "wolf" from the English word." (I guess that's pretty obvious)

    I always assumed that my name "Jarad" was a variant of the Hebrew Jared, meaning 'Descendant', but I did a quick search and apparently, 'Jarad' - spelled that way is also a name of arabic descent meaning "Locust" or "Liberal". That makes me laugh something fierce.

    Until now!

    I happen to own a drinks coaster on which is printed my name and it's meaning:

    Fosters - Always cold

    Oh wait... wrong coaster...

    Joseph - From the Hebrew for 'he shall add' ('He' refers to God, I believe). A quiet, reserved and caring man with strong principles. He is always fair and expects the same as others.

    Pretty much describes me perfectly.

    As for my other names, I have refered to the internet for finding meaning:

    Paul - Humble
    Again, that's true. But for me to admit to being humble isn't so humble, so I'm digging a hole here.

    Townsend - Pretty much what it says. My ancestor lived on the edge of a town. Maybe then he was outcast and nobody liked him.
    And I do (sort of) live at the edge of a town, so I guess I am pretty much what my name describes.

    Back. For a while. Maybe.

    I love that name. I think I will force you into marriage and then divorce you moments after, insisting that I keep your name. That's allowed in this country these days, right?

    My surname is Scottish, apparently... It means... *insert Scottish meaning* Haaaa.

    I should probably find the meaning.

    *goes to look*


    ...It's British, too. Originated in Britain and it means something else in Scotland. Damn you, England!

    Okay. But I'm taking all our money and the cat.

    I believe my surname is also Scottish. I know I have scottish ancestry.
    Also, Ecks had or has my surname, and I think I remember him saying he also had scottish family.

    Back. For a while. Maybe.

    Nope, sorry, my mother's name is Patricia, not Claudia. So here's my mother's I guess. Except it was under Patrick and not Patricia.

    "From the Roman name Patricius, which meant "nobleman" in Latin. A 5th-century saint, the patron saint of Ireland, adopted this name (his birth name was Sucat). During his youth he was captured by Irish raiders and enslaved, but after six years of servitude he escaped to his home in Britain. Eventually he became a bishop and went back to Ireland as a missionary, where he succeeded in Christianizing the entire country."

    My name means "Father". It is also the name of a MSI song.

    I didn't put much thought into it.

    but my real name =is short for "John"...but Jack and John have 4 letters, so I don't see how it's 'short' for John.

    Well, my name, Zoe, is Greek meaning "life".

    The website thingy says:

    ZOE
    Gender: Feminine

    Usage: English, Greek, Ancient Greek

    Other Scripts: Ζωη (Ancient Greek)

    Pronounced: ZO-ee [key]

    Means "life" in Greek. This was the name of two early saints, one martyred under emperor Hadrian, the other martyred under Diocletian. The name was also borne by a ruling Byzantine empress.
    My middle name...
    DIANA
    Gender: Feminine

    Usage: English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Lithuanian, Roman Mythology

    Other Scripts: Диана (Russian)

    Pronounced: die-AN-a (English) [key]

    Probably derived from an old Indo-European root meaning "heavenly, divine", related to dyeus (see ZEUS). Diana was a Roman goddess of the moon, hunting, forests, and childbirth, often identified with the Greek goddess Artemis. Diana Spencer, the Princess of Wales, was a famous bearer of this name.
    I understand the "forests" bit. I love forest. I'd never hunt though...

    and the last name, Patterson, is another Scottish (and sometimes Irish) surname which means "Son of Pat". 0____o

    I don't use my given name, really. It's kind of creepy when people call me by it. I'm usually refered to as a dutch nickname from some old tv show, or as LoD ('Ehlohdee').

    L, the 12th letter in the alphabet. Spells a lot of noodles and lovingly love.
    o, number 15. Screeched in pleasure or dramatic points in movies.
    D, last but not least, the number 4. Usually accompanied by 'umbass' and 'ork' though those are usually disdained nowadays as old fashioned.
    I remember when you were happy with a RADISH.

    My name,
    Spoiler:
    Candice ;-)

    , means glittering/glowing/sparkling white, or pure glowing white or something. White and shiny, basically. Apparently it's also derived from the name of a line of queens in Ethiopia...
    My surname is of Danish origin, but I'm only about a quarter Danish.
    "I'm Cid.
    I invented the airship.
    I'm famous!"

    And don't forget my wonderful TFFF brother, postalblowfish7!
    My adorably shy li'l nephew, Doughboy!

    My name? hmmm. Well I have so many names these days, but my two favorite among them are Fox and Lucifer.

    Why Fox?

    Well girls have one reason for naming me this and guys have another. Enuf said me thinkz.


    Why Lucifer? Hmm slightly more complex.

    Lucifer has no significance to us in the sense of "that which is to be worshipped (or shunned)." I (or anybody else) do not subscribe to the superstitions of the Judeo-Christians or Hindus, thus "Lucifer" has no equivalence for us to "Satan" or "Shaitan" - a name which I would regard equally unemotionally, but which would not offer the same richly rewarding associations that "Lucifer" does - from a number of perspectives.

    In the early days of Unix computing, many of those involved named computers Lucifer, Asmodeus, Astoroth, etc. because they hosted "daemons" which performed tasks for us - and geeks being geeks (though not in those days l33t haX0rs), I appreciated the pun. It is also possible that some of the enjoyment was derived from the fact that we knew that it pissed off some classes of believers - and that their annoyance, anger, horror or upset pointed to their inability to consider the world rationally. I know that I have been "guilty" of this. Thus there may have been an element of happenstance which lead to the adoption of this name. I don't know. I was not there. But it seems likely. I have certainly named computers so myself. More than once. But this only describes one possible scenario. I have thought of many others which I find offer me excellent reasons to appreciate the choice of name.

    On the face of it, Lucifer means simply, the "Bearer of Light." Which sounds good to me, Light having been equated with "truth" since time immemorial. Please note and comprehend the lower-case "t" - correct English usage - and recognition that this "truth" which we pursue is relative, mutable and falsifiable. After all, "truths" are central to effective reasoning.

    However, due to historic myth, the "Lucifer" domain name also serves to establish a certain "stay off the grass" kind of a quality to the more fundamentalist inclined - who tend to stay away from here because of it. As fundamentalist argument has no place on this list, this is generally regarded as a no uncertain good.

    Yet this would be to diminish the value to me of the Lucifer name. For a second level of meaning can be ascribed to it and enjoyed. This is the tendency for myths to change, and how delightfully apposite it is, that Judeo-Christianity worships the "gods who dwell in darkness" and turn away from "the light bearer." Lucifer tends to remind us of this, and how the forces of the Judeo-Christian religion have always opposed rationality and reason, and how very many martyrs to reason have been created by religion over the years. It also reminds me that light banishes darkness, just as knowledge banishes fear and reason banishes superstition.

    A third level comes into play, when we recognize that Prometheus, the gifter of fire to man can be identified in and as Lucifer. Prometheus, bearer of the greatest gift to man, and tortured by the gods ever since. Prometheus may be mythical, but he represents the advance of man, and reminds us of the heroism and aspirations of our bronze age ancestors who started mankind on the path to the technology we enjoy today.

    There is another important purpose which the "Lucifer" name serves. This is the fact that the associations above serve as a recursive reminder to us that all myths may have multiple levels of meaning, all of which may be simultaneously valid, indeed, all of which may be necessary in order to achieve understanding. By projection, this applies to memetics as much as to myth for memetics may in and of itself be mythical, yet it still encompasses and enfolds myth within its area of study.

    Hope that sheds some light on the subject.

    My name in real life is Staci. I was named after my mothers first love. This was a long time ago when the name Staci was given more often to men than women. It was also more uncommon in the north of the US than the south.

    Since my name was from the shorter version in Stacie I will use that meaning.

    Basically given to a female it is a Greek word meaning Resurrection. Resurrection as in a living thing dying an then coming back.Now that I think about it.......It fits very well. XD

    CRYSTAL
    Gender: Feminine
    Usage: English
    Pronounced: KRIS-tal

    Means simply "crystal" from the English word for the clear, colourless glass, sometimes cut into the shape of a gemstone. The English word derives ultimately from Greek κρυσταλλος (krystallos) meaning "ice".

    The first part was obvious, but I didn't know about the ice part until five seconds ago. Interesting, and oddly appropriate. I think names have more impact on us than we think.

    MARIE
    Gender: Feminine
    Usage: French, Czech
    Pronounced: ma-REE

    French and Czech form of Maria (see MARY). A notable bearer of this name was Marie Antoinette, the queen of France who was executed by guillotine during the French Revolution. Another was Marie Curie, a physicist and chemist who studied radioactivity with her husband Pierre.

    This does not bode well for me. >.>; Luckily it's my middle and not my first. Don't know if I would like being associated with an executed queen lol.

    And, just for fun I clicked the see Mary part and this is part of the definition: "Usual English form of Maria, which was the Latin form of the New Testament Greek names Μαριαμ (Mariam) or Μαρια (Maria) (the spellings are interchangeable), which were from the Hebrew name מִרְיָם (Miryam). The meaning is not known for certain, but there are several theories including "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", and "wished for child". However it was most likely originally an Egyptian name, perhaps derived in part from mry "beloved" or mr "love"."

    Well, that explains a lot.
