From the name of the month, probably originally derived from Latin aperire "to open", referring to the opening of flowers. It has only been commonly used as a given name since the 1940s.

Mine sucks
You could make up some claim that "to open" refers to something like new beginnings and new life and babies and puppies and kittens and... I'm just making it worse, aren't I?

This is what stuck out the most for me

In the Celtic legend of Tristan and Isolde this was the name of a king of Cornwall

I might be my immaturity, but Cornwall is just funny for me.

-Brian
The meaning of this name is not known for certain but it is possibly related to the old Celtic element bre meaning "hill", or by extension "high, noble". It was borne by the semi-legendary Irish king Brian Boru, who thwarted Viking attempts to conquer Ireland in the 11th century. He was slain in the Battle of Clontarf, though his forces were decisively victorious. The name was common in Ireland before his time, and even more so afterwards. It came into use in England in the Middle Ages, introduced by Breton settlers. It subsequently became rare

Christopher

CHRISTOPHER

Gender: Masculine

Usage: English

Pronounced: KRIS-tə-fər [key]
From the Late Greek name Χριστοφορος (Christophoros) meaning "bearing Christ", derived from Χριστος (Christos) combined with φερω (phero) "to bear, to carry". It was used by early Christians as a metaphorical name, expressing that they carried Christ in their hearts. In the Middle Ages, literal interpretations of the name's etymology led to legends about a Saint Christopher who carried the young Jesus across a river. He has come to be regarded as the patron saint of travellers.

As an English given name, Christopher has been in general use since the 15th century. In Denmark it was borne by three kings (their names are usually spelled Christoffer), including the 15th-century Christopher of Bavaria who also ruled Norway and Sweden. Other famous bearers include Italian explorer Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), English playwright Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593), and the fictional character Christopher Robin from A. A. Milne's 'Winnie-the-Pooh' books.

Woo, my name broke the system! By that, I mean my name wasn't found. However, it's most common variant, Ganesh, is in there. Of course, I don't need to tell you lot what the name Ganesh would be referring to, now would I?

Jonathan: hebrew meaning "God's gift".

What can I say to that...?
Yeah, me too man. Note: Even with the definition handy, saying you're "God's gift" to a chick won't work. Trust me.
