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

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

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.

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.

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.

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