What does your first name mean?

[SinisterDeath]

Best I can come up with...
Name is shortened version not long one. (even on birth certificate, parents didn't name me becuase of a meaning behind the wolrd[/b])
Basically means either "Son of the Wise Leader" or The Greatest.
Last name basically means, Valley Man/Men/Tribe/People in german.
So... Son of the Wise Leader of the Valley People.
The Greatest Valley Man

Benjamin, it means son of the south. Funnily enough I live in the south of England and I'm also somebody's son.

My name is a combination of Jennifer and Vanessa and doesn't really have a true meaning. But if you take the first part of the meaning of Jennifer "White Phantom" or "White Wave" and the meaning of Vanessa "Butterfly" then my name means "White Butterfly".
My name is Jenessa BTW.

 

[Corpse XxX]

It hails from the viking age, meaning "The great big brown-bear"

 

[Broady Brio]

George is greek for Farmer. So says my bookmark.

The name is John.
My name means "Beloved Son of James".
Which is a reference to the Bible.
Which is made somewhat hilarious by the fact that I am not religious.
But I love the name John.
It sounds so odd to me, and that little "h" and that big "J" just seem like the perfect couple, but that whore "o" is with "J", because "J" didn't want to be alone in his life, so he goes with "o", when he should have waited to be with "h"....
And "n" watches by the sidelines as "J" slowly tears himself into pieces because "J" is a nice-guy letter, and everyone knows that nice-guy letters don't dump anyone at all. So "J" is with "o", while "h" and "n" watch by the sidelines, teary eyed...
I love rants.

I never would have analyzed my name (John) that much. And I thought that it was Jewish and meant "gift from God" but I'll take your word for it.

Doesn't suit me in the slightest...

The male given name Adrian is derived from the Latin Hadrianus, which is more familiar to English speakers as Hadrian. The name means "from Adria", a port on the Adriatic Sea. Adrian was the name of several early Christian saints and martyrs. Cool.

Looking around, "Brennan" usually means raven, or raven-like, and sometimes tear drop.\

I think I'll go with raven. Sounds much better.

Adrian, eh? You don't happen to watch Zero Punctuation do you

My "OMG WTF HAX" was short lived after watching ZP. I first imagined everyone heard their name. Then reality struck.

Warren
English: To Preserve.

Well that's kind of bland isn't it? Glad my last name Plentywounds makes up for it.

edit: Found a better one where it means 'one who watches the woods'
