What's your name's origin?

[Woeps]

I'm named after my grandfather's and a person in the bible (since I carry three names) of which my first name is named after my father's farther.

My sister is had the same thing only she has carry's my grandmothers names and her first name is my mothers mother name.

Also does my name mean sharp knife in some languages

My name is my mom and my dad's name mashed into a conjunction. Ironically it means that my name means the same as my dad's but feminine, my middle name is my mom's last name, my last name is my dad's last name, and my initials are the same as my dad's.

For the record, my name is Joanna, my dad's is John, and my mom's is Diana. The idea of a conjunction came from my cousin, after my parents were stumped for a name.

Well... My first and middle name collectively mean something along the lines of 'bearer of Christ, in a valley'. Surname's habitational from a small village in Somerset, where it apparently means 'small farm'. So... I guess I'm the (atheist) bearer of Christ in a valley in a farm, somehow.

My First name comes from Brian Boru, a badass in his day because now Brian means brave, and my middle was the name of my dad's firefighter friend who died right before I was born.

Sean is the Irish version of 'John'. John is a Greek name derived from a Hebrew name meaning 'Yahweh is merciful'. So mine name is actually the third or fourth iteration of it. Neat.

 

[SilentCom]

My first name is derived from a Hebrew name from a certain stone cutter in the Bible. My last name is German and means barrel maker.

Funny, because I am neither Jewish nor do I make or consume anything from a barrel...

According to a quick Google search, my name is Old Norse for "ever powerful/ruler of the people" :-D

Harrison - Named after Harrison Ford because my mum fancied the guy! and apparently it means I can be extremely social yet suffer from self-pity and depression (pretty accurate) and that I would be better company to be around if I could keep my opinion closed. (Very true)

Jay - Named after the bird, or similar to Homer J Simpson?

My surname - Named for Walton's Castle, Yeehaw!
