What does your first name mean?

[Sick boy]

My first names is James and it means supplanter - one who wrongfully or illegally seizes and holds the place of another. It's hebrew, not many people know that though.

 

[zauxz]

Renaldas - destined to rule.

Couldnt be less acurate.

 

[MelziGurl]

Melissa - Honey Bee

 

[SonicKoala]

Lance - A long spear.......LADIES

Then again, my full name is Lancelot, so I'm also a legendary Arthurian knight who wields a long spear. Fuck, I love my name.

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

[Smudge91]

My name is Jewish meaning God is watching and woo my name was used in the merchant of venice which made the name popular.
My last name means John so my full name is... "God is watching John".
I'm finding this amusing.

Ok George. Let's see where that derives from.

George or Γεώργιος in greek means the one preoccupied with the land's agriculture. It is a compound word which results from two smaller ones, Γεω which is latin for Geo meaning earth and εργον (ergon) meaning work. The guy that makes my name awesome is Saint George. Firstly, he is a martyr and if that isn't enough for you, he might just be the first dragonkiller in history. Not to mention his lance's name. Ascalon. Beat that.

From Behind the Name [http://www.behindthename.com/]:


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.

Well not much for me to say, eh. That summed it up well, and I learned something.

I've got a necklace with Saint Christopher on it, but I'm not big into mens jewlery, so it sits in my drawer, protecting my drawer in case it ever goes travelling.

I have no idea.
Jamie is pretty boring anyway.

EDIT: Wikipedia says it's a pet form of James and it is Hebrew.

Well I share the same first name, as Sasquatch99, so this is pretty much my answer.

 

[Thisbedutch]

Amy means "beloved" from the French. It was really stupidly popular the year I was born so I'm constantly surrounded by other Amys in school, hence the new name "Dutch", which would mean Dutch if (a) I was Dutch or (b) it wasn't derived from the fact that my surname just happens to have Holland in it.

 

[Emilin_Rose]

Emilin, form of Emmaline. if you want to be really picky about it, its actually the Irish spelling of it. At least thats what my mother said.

Means: Universal.

 

[Aardvark Soup]

Tom, which comes from Thomas, which apperently comes from the Greek word Didymus, which means twin. Pretty boring actually.

 

[twistedshadows]

My first name means "princess", in Hebrew

I believe we have the same name.

 

[Liberuno]

Philippe means lover of horses. I am actually afraid of horses.

 

[Noamuth]

Mine means 'whoops, here's the feminine version of this name because it's NOT a boy afterall!'.

.. It also, apparently, means 'like God', or 'gift of God', though the meaning didn't come into play when I was born. XD They needed to change what they had picked, and liked 'Michelle'. My sister's name is French-ish as well.

Philippe means lover of horses. I am actually afraid of horses.

Whoops. o.o

 

[timmytom1]

rather dissapointingly thomas means "twin" they couldn`t have made it "dragon slayer" or "uber awesome person" oh no just twin
