I take it that that is a good thing?

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

It's Sed. My parents felt like being original. I think I'm probably the only person in my country with that name, maybe even in the whole of Europe. o_O

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

I definitely haven't heard of that variation. It is original and unique, though. I like it ;)

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Nope you're not...
I know that at least one person in Europe is called Sed.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

And how do you know this if I may ask? =p

Re: Meaning of your name?

Re: Meaning of your name?

CHRISTOPHER

Gender: Masculine

Usage: English

Pronounced: KRIS-to-fur

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.

JAMES

Gender: Masculine

Usage: English, Biblical

Pronounced: JAYMZ

English form of the Late Latin Jacomus which was derived from Ιακωβος (Iakobos), the New Testament Greek form of יַעֲקֹב (Ya'aqov) (see JACOB). This is the name of two apostles in the New Testament. The first was Saint James the Greater, the apostle John's brother, who was beheaded by 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.

Kings of England and Scotland have borne this name. Other famous bearers include the inventor of the steam engine James Watt, the explorer Captain James Cook, and the novelist and poet James Joyce.

Petra? It's not a common name...you don't happen to come from Slavic countries?

I'm jealous of people who get to have two names...(first and middle)

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Meaning I'm the only one...

And I tried Google ages ago, all it comes up with are companies and stuff like that. =p

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

My second name is also Peter.
My third name is Wallace, which as most will know was (and is) the name of a well-known Scottish clan, famous because of Scottish freedom fighter William Wallace.
My American grandfather's name, whom I sadly never met, was William Wallace.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

The only thing I found was this.

So now I know I'm not the only one in the world, but that article seems to be about the US, not Europe. =p

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

I'll find something...
I got sources...

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

I happen to come from one of these countries :) Middle Europe For the win :)

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

It's also fairly common over in this part of the world too =p

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Well it's not like you were more than a few hundred kilometers at best from the border :~

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Ah yes, it is fairly popular in Germany too ;) But I've heard so much more of it in my country and these areas.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

I believe David means beloved in Hebrew.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Yep...
Possibly derived from Hebrew דוד (dvd) meaning "beloved". David was the second and greatest of the kings of Israel, ruling in the 10th century BC. Several stories about him are told in the Old Testament, including his defeat of Goliath, a giant Philistine. Jesus was supposedly descended from him.Famous bearers of this name include the 5th-century patron saint of Wales, two kings of Scotland, empiricist philosopher David Hume, and explorer David Livingstone. This is also the name of the hero of Charles Dickens' semiautobiographical novel 'David Copperfield'.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Mine means "Wolf Protection", or, "Protector of the Wolf".

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Marie.

And no, it's more of a lineage thing. My dad wanted me to have a French middle name, and my mom's middle name was French, so he chose that one. My mother wanted my middle name to be Ann, thus Ann(e)-Marie was conceived.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Hm, interesting. My name is Ana. (spelled like that) Not many people know how to pronounce it correctly, though, so I settled with having it pronounced as Anna. I still find it somewhat funny that it means Merciful.

I do have a version of middle name, though...it's not as official as middle name in Western countries. It's Vesna, it means "messenger" and it's also a name of Slavic goddess of spring.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

My middle name is Daniel, which isn't that great of a name as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

IDK think Spock mean god in some long for gotten language.....

Re: Meaning of your name?

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Alexander, my middle name, comes apparently means "Defending Men."

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

That makes sense, 'Alexander the Great' probably comes from him.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

My name, Richard, means something along the lines of "Powerful leader", although some sources say it means things like "brave" and "hardy" too. :D

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Again, 'Richard the Lion Heart' could tie in with that name...

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Found this pertaining to my last name:

The meaning of the surname MAIO is - one who was youthful looking; descendant of Matthew.

interesting, because people so often seem to think I'm younger than I am.
Until I joined the corps anyway, now they think I seem older.

and for the record, its pronounced my-oh, NOT MAY-OH!
I AM NOT associated with mayonaise in any way.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

LOL. Odessa, could this be a clever form of identity theft,...just kiddin.:D

Seriously though, I've oftened pondered the meaning of my name, as I suppose we all do at one time or another. It's part of our curious nature, trying to find our purpose and all that. Well anyway, this thread inspired me to look it up.

Mine translates to "God is my judge", I guess that's why I get very upset when people try to judge me.

I won't go into details about my middle or last names but I can tell you this, they have a lot of defense, endurance and survival instincts in them.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Apparantly my first name Ruben means: Look, a son. :)

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Haha, now that you mention it...No, of course not :)

Interesting name meaning. I'm glad this makes people think and look up what their names mean. I always wondered what kind of meanings I could dig up for my name.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Ah, that's cool to know, I guess that's why a favourite muscian of mine chose the name Joey DeMaio as his stage name.

My name is Samuel, yeah it means Gift From God.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

You have the same name as me :rolleyes:

Brotherhood of Jeremy!
:drink: :cheers:

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Makes me think of that too, haha
What annoys me most with my name is that hardly anyone knows how to pronounce it, unless they're Portuguese/Spanish or from one of the Slavic countries.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

What is it?

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Odessa Cubbage ~ The guy who dumped Gordon Freeman to battle against a combine gunship 1 on 1.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Yeah, so many people just stumble over phonemes.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Odessa isn't my real name. It's Ana. But no one seems to get that the last A has to sound just like the first A and have the same length.

Re: Meaning of your name?
 

Gender:Unisex

Origin:Latin

Meaning: Christ-Like



Wow, religious.
