Queen Michael said:
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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) ^_^

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

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.
