Shannon, which means a lot of things. It can be seen as being composed of the Gaelic elements sean "wise" and abhann "river", but I've seen other meanings including, Shining Star, and Wise Little Owl, so who really knows or cares.

As for my surname - Magnano (Italian) I've never been able to find anyone to suggest what that might even begin to mean...

If I remember rightly, Jonathan means 'Gift of God' in Hebrew. (And how right it is.)

Niall is a male given name of Gaelic origin, thought to mean "champion".

Hurrah!


EDIT: Wow these probations last much longer. 5 days later and my 3 day probation still isn't over!

Mine means, "Holy Assassin" which, when coupled with my last name (which means Son of the dragon king), makes me "The Holy Assassin Dragon Prince".
I like it. My name is Michael, which means "he who is like God."

This is what my surname means, Paget "one who was a small page or male attendant..." Yeah, it's French.

Andre = Name of Greek Origin, means: Man, warrior



FEEL MY MANLYNESS! FEEL IT!​


So basically, if I was in an RPG, by name definition, I'd probably be the faceless and personality void generic hero warrior who's biggest attribute is to be "Bravery", aka.: No Personality.

On a fighting game, on the other hand... :p

"Johan is a masculine given name of German language origin, meaning "God is gracious". It is a variation of the English language given name, John. Johan is uncommon as a surname. Johan is also a masculine given name of Malay language origin, meaning "Champion"."

Before this thread, I had no idea what it meant, but..pretty good, pretty good.

My first name is James, and not only was it the name of one of Jesus' apostles (or was he a disciple? I can't remember), it also means "may god protect him." The second I heard that, I wanted to change my first name. I'm not Christian, and I want nothing to do with it. I just want my name changed to something that isn't affiliated with Christianity.

Alneesa - Friendly. Well, it means that without the L. Far as with the L, I don't really think it means anything since my name is "unique" in spelling and origin.
