What does your first name mean?

[Pyotr Romanov]

Alright, people are gonna rip the hell out of my this, and I grant that to you since I'd do the same in your position; my name, is Scottish/English, for "Crooked Nose". Yep. Which doesn't make much sense since I like nothing like Scrooge or anything.

However when I searched for my second name, I found no results, which didn't surprise me much since I took a quiz not long ago which used Google technology (or claimed to) to find out how many people had my name. Apparently no one else in the world shares my name.

Then PLEASE tell me your unique second name.

 

[DasHunterman]

My name, Jason, comes from the Greek word meaning "to heal" and was the name of the guy who hunted for the mythical Golden Fleece on his ship, the Argo. Also, the name was not used in England until the Protestant Reformation.

 

[nohorsetown]

My parents told me that my first and middle names (Bryn and Conor) meant "Hill" and "King", ie: "King of the Hill" in Welsh. But the internet says Conor/Connor has more to do with being a "lover of dogs", so uh, yeah, I guess I go up on the hill and I.. love some dogs? Damn.

Just out of curiostiy, do you ever get the urge to stand by a fence, drink beer, and say "yup" with some friends?

Except for the "yup" part, yes. Yes I do.

 

[BuckminsterF]

Riley means angry (some form of the verb rile) or a rye clearing

 

[Chris^^]

Christian means (funnnily enough) follower of christ

which makes my agnosticism even more amusing =P

 

[mrhappyface]

Michael. Hebrew. "Who is like God?" I like it.

I thought Michael was "Saint of Soldiers" because of the archangel Michael was the patron of soldiers.

 

[mrhappyface]

Well, thanks everyone for the great thread.

 

[Ocelot GT]

Piper - It's old English for pipe player... Makes sense I guess huh? Or it could mean flyer of Piper Cubs... that'd be radical.

 

[auronvi]

Ryan - Little King. In the Irish Catholic background, which I share somewhat though I was born in NA and am Christian, It is shortening of the name Abryan. Ab was used to name the first born son way back when and BEING the first born son my name would probably be Abryan if I was born then.

Dillon - My last name and it means "blood river". No, not that kind of blood river (sickos). Some Irish river that had some sort of bloody battle and such. Forgot the history to it.

Little King of Blood River!

 

[Xanian]

My whole name means "Charity is the priceless victory of the people.

First name means "charity"
Second name means "victory of the people."
Last name means "priceless."

My grandparents picked it out because my parents were horribly indecisive and failed to pick out my name by the day I was born. My grandfathers sat down and talked it out, and chose something they found suitable.

Edit: Oooops! My Mama would kill me for not putting my "whole" name. {I'm half-Mexican, I have four names but at the time of my birth America only acknowledged three of them on my birth certificate. My missing name means "executioner." Doesn't wedge well in with the others.

 

[Riccan]

Mine is 'Remembrance of the Lord"

 

[GamerPhate]

Matt from Mathew meaning Gift for God I think.

But I like to think I am more like a Gift from God someone is trying to return, but lost the receipt.

 

[The Mick]

"Christ Bearing" "Little King" I can't find my last name meaning.

 

[Takoto]

My last name means "Small stream" and originates for Scotland.
And from what I can gather my first name can mean "Noble Kind". In Hebrew, it can mean "a standing pool", which, if referring to a pool of water, links into my surname.

 

[Lilani]

Caitlin - "Virginal"

>.>;

 

[Crimsane]

John. "Thy parents were unimaginative, lazy pricks."

 

[A Weary Exile]

"Bright frame"

....well that's stupid.

 

[Argtee]

First name: Lucas

"Lucas is a surname, probably a contraction of the Latin Lucanus, lit. "of or from Lucania". The Lucania area itself took its name from the Lucani, an ancient people of Italy who dominated the region for a time."

Sounds interesting...

 

[EvilBug]

Antonio - Worthy Of Praise
Antonio comes from the Antonius Latin family name group. The name's origin is said to be ancient Greece, coming either from the word Anthos (flower) or from Antonio, Greek king of Achaia.

 

[johnzaku]

My name's John if you couldn't guess =p

It comes a Hebrew name, Yochanan, meaning "Yahweh is gracious"

The main reason 'John' has become such a popular name in western culture is, I think, because of the bible. John the Baptist and John the apostle were big figures in the new testament.

My second name, Joseph comes from Yosef meaning "he will add"

My last name, Rogers means "famous spear" from the Germanic elements hrod "fame" and ger "spear".

My name is "Yahweh is gracious, and he will give you great fame in battle" (roughly) ^_^
