What's in a Name

[Momiji]

According to the site Rubah linked to:

"The boy's name Justin \j(u)-stin, jus-tin\ is pronounced JUS-tin. It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "just, upright, righteous". Variant of Justus. Saint Justin (second century) was a Greek philosopher who wrote of the moral values of Christianity. See also Jestin. Actor Justin Henry; singer Justin Timberlake."

I'll pretend I didn't see that last part. :kaoupset:

I'll go look that up, but I think this is some kind of ploy to get everybody's First Name. Here's the specs on it according to 27,000 Baby Names, Meanings and Origins at Baby Names World

Nicolas
Origin: Greek
Meaning: Victory of the People

Nico (My Nick-Name)
Origin: Greek
Meaning: Victory of the People

I honestly don't think this site is very accurate. It claims Nico is normally used in Dutch and English speaking countries, but I distinctly remember my Father telling me "Nico" was a very common name in Spain and Italy.

Andy Warhol girl called Nico, anyone? She probably popularised (?) the name for a while in England and America at least, possibly in Europe.

I'll give you a hint to my name. I don't like to use it on the interwebs because it's very unusual. When you look it up on wikipedia, you don't get the name, the page what comes up is A TYPE OF SNAKES, THE GENUS OF WHICH IS MY NAME. Also, it doesn't have so much a meaning as a couple of relatively significant historical bearers one of whom is a legend. Anyone who gets it gets a cookie or ten (yeah, like anyone'll bother!).

What Your Name Means (Numerology)

[bipper]

I looked up bipper on the urban dictionary and realized why I hate the internet. I was given the nickname when I was born, and it really had no meaning here nor anywhere. It is slang for a chipmunk or gopher in japanese though. Infact there is a pokemon named bipper, or bidoof in the american version.

My name Michael means "who is like God?" and is of Hebrew origin. though nowadays it means "Oh , we had a boy, what should we name it?" as there are so many of em.

Meyer means lord in German or farmer in Hebrew. Luckily I am German.


If you put them together I am a swingster serial killer thanks to pop culture.

[Jings]

Wow, I looked it up, and my name apparently means "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn"

I laughed quite a bit when I read this. Good show.

Anyway my name is Scott. I really don't think I have to explain what it means.

[Dynast-Kid]

My first name is the shortened form of Lawrence/Laurence, which means "from Laurentum" in Latin. Laurentum was some city in Italy known for laurel trees. I think. My name's boring...

My middle name means "beloved" in Hebrew!

What does your first name mean and what country and/or name does it originate from?

My name means "daughter" in Hindi which is pretty lame, but true. Of course, the country it originates from is India, but I always thought it originated from a Russian name.

Your name's Tanya!?

[Lawr]

Lawrence
Origin: Latin
Meaning: Laurel-Crowned

My first name is the shortened form of Lawrence/Laurence, which means "from Laurentum" in Latin. Laurentum was some city in Italy known for laurel trees. I think. My name's boring...

Is your name Lance or Larry? Or something else?

[Levian]

Paul means small.

Oh the irony!

Time for a pre-emptive strike: Your mom didn't seem to think so.

If you slept with my mom then that's your loss.

[Evastio]

I'm not going to reveal my real name.

I guess all I'll say about it is it's Latin and I don't live up to it.

[Rase]

Ryan means "Kingly" or "Little King" or something. Go me.
