Ultrajoe apparently means "smarter than your average joe"

i've always wondered why my parents called me that.

Tyler: A Tiler, like someone who tiles floors, not unlike how Smiths would've been blacksmiths or goldsmiths or something.
Neufeld: German for 'New Feild'. I know, I haven't a clue either.

My name means 'Servant' in Russian. Not all that great, but I like it.

Named after an Indian god... and you are really thick if you can't get the country of origin.
Well, are we talking Christopher Colombus Indians or Gandhi Indians?
Woo Woo or Red dot you ask? The first ones, not the ones that Columbus named.

My first name basically means I will always be laughing, my middle means a military commander, and my last kinda sorta means innkeeper/provider/master of the house.

So basically I raise an army of innkeepers to destroy people, all whilst laughing maniacally. Doesn't sound too far off from what I do in actuality.

Well, my name is Angus, which can be traced back to the Gaelic word for 'Badass', and my middle and last names come from a Latin phrase which is often translated as 'Excellence in all things' but is more likely an archaic version of 'Awesome.'

First name translated in Greek goes to the word Laurel which would be the crowns of olive leaves (I think) they gave to winners of olypic competition. Don't know what my last name means though. Oh well.

Andreas: Manly in Greek
Christoph: From Greek "Christopheros", bearer of Christ, as some already noted. The name comes from a guy who carried Jesus across a river. Apparently, that was his job, since they didn't have a ferry and he was the largest man around.
Bühler: Swiss name. A "Bühl" is a special kind of hill, which has a very regular, round shape. There are several places named "Bühl" or "Bühler", but a "Bühler" is also just someone who lives upon a hill.
Yes, I'm swiss. And greek and latin names are acutally pretty common around here. I know more people with greek, hebrew or latin names than german ones.

Anyone know what Randall translates to? This computer keeps forbidding every other web page I try to go to, so I can hardly conduct a proper google search on it. XP

Mine means "Helper of God" which is completely opposite to what I tend to do a lot. If anything, I'm attacking God. With my atheism and anti-religion opinions and ideas.

My first name means beloved and my surname means crown.
My middle name means "god is great". I personally find this somewhat annoying because I am and have always been an atheist. Seems a lot of people here have a problem like this....
Beloved god is a great crown?

Medieval form of English Randolf, meaning "shield-wolf."

Don't ask me what Shield-wolf is, unless it means useing a wolf as a shield.

..or maybe your ancestors trained wolves to carry shields for you into battle.

Wait, that makes no sense...

Or attaching wolves to sheilds so that they block arrows and bite the unwary.

My best honest guess is that the Wolf was part of a family crest.
