Jeanne which apparently means "God Is Gracious." It's the French form of Jane or Joan and the feminine form of John.
Alan (Alain, Allan, Alun, Alyn, Allen, Ailean, Ailín) is a male given name. Its origin is uncertain. It may ultimately derived from the Alanus "of the tribe of the Alans"( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alans ), or from Aelius, a given name ultimately from Helios "Sun", or from a Breton word for "rock".
It was introduced to England by Bretons before and after the Norman Conquest of England, having been popularized in their province as the misspelled name of Allorus (feast date 27 Dec.), bishop of Quimper. Having a similar name and feast date only a month apart, Allorus was thus conflated with Saint Alan (feast date 25 Nov.) of Lavaur Cathedral in Gascony near Toulose, whose name was a Vulgar Latin spelling of Aelianus, being recorded variously Alen or Elan.
Aelianus is a developed form of Aelius, itself a Roman borrowing of the Greek Helios. There is a Church of Saint Elian in Syria. The name is interpreted as meaning either "little rock" or "handsome" in Breton, and "harmony" in some Celtic languages.

I'm going to go for the far more interesting route and tap my name into Urban dictionary.
Ethan:
"A male given name meaning strong, firm and safe." I'll point out that is the actual meaning that someone's written on there, clearly they're no fun.
"known for his good looks,whitty charm, and having a much larger penis than Colin." Suck it, Col.
"a person who has A.D.D and a very good vocabulary. they can hold converstations with a tree stump for several hours. Can also be stupid and idiotic.Is unaware of his or her surroundings." Slightly contradictory; ADD and yet they can hold a conversation with a tree stump for hours?
"usually the sexiest man in school and has many friends and many girls want him. hes charming, funny, nice, smart." Oh yes.
"the coolest, sexiest man ever. he has all the bitches and hoes. and money." I do haz all da bitchez n hoez. N moneyz.
"guy with small weiner" Maybe I'll be the one sucking it then Colin.
"A really small penis. Almost as small as a micropenis, but not quite that small." Clearly Colin can't take a joke...
"a big bully who thinks he can draw. Usually makes fun of black people and calls them his slaves. Likes to pick on people with glasses." In my defence, they all called me a cracker.
"Someone who has a really enormous forehead. Can also be called "Captain Forehead"! Also has huge ears that can closely resemble dinner plates." I resent that nick name.
"hair located around the genital area of a man and woman." Err...

Well in Japanese and Scottish cultures my name means "Grey House"
(My name's Graham)
Also in Scotland there was an old clan called the "Clan Graham"
Which I'm only assuming must have meant "Clan of the Grey house"
Also, again in scottish culture Graham used to be another word for hill.
My second name is Shine.
I'm pretty sure even the dopes amongst us can interpret the meaning there.
Also, according to UrbanDictionary, I'm fucking GOD of a man.

Most sites don't even feature "Janny" in the list, the hell why not? *waves angry fist* Anyone know of any good site with a full list? I Googled a bunch of stuff to no avail...
The closest thing I found was that its meaning is similar to "God is gracious". That's weird, I don't even believe in God...

My name is Amund, which apparently is the short form of
Agmund. Here is what behindthename.com has to say about it:
www.behindthename.com" The first element of this name is derived from ag, an uncertain element for which a few possible origins exist. The accepted explanation is that it comes from Proto-Germanic *agjo, which means "sharp, pointed." Because of that, it also means "edge", as in the sharp cutting side of a sword - which is why the meaning of the element has ultimately come to be "sword". See also Anglo-Saxon ecg or Old High German ekka (New High German ecke, which means "corner"). Other possibilities for the meaning and origin of ag include: Gothic agan "to fear, to be afraid", Old Norse agi "unrest, agitation", Gothic ahjan "to believe" and Old Norse aka "to do, to act." The second element of this Germanic name is derived from Old High German mund "protection."
so basically it means "sword protector" which is kind of awesome.
