Thread: WTF does your name mean?

    My name is just a shortened version of Tolkien's ancient name for Lothórien (Laurelindórenan).
    I thought Laurelindo sounded pretty beautiful, and I've stuck with it since then.

    Adam: I already know in hebrew it means "The Earth" not sure if my name has any other meaning attached to it.

    Chapman: i had know idea for this so after some research i clicked on a link and found this

    Chapman is a first name for males and a common surname. It is a derivative of the Saxon word Caepman which in turn originated from the Old German word choufman or koufman. It means a market man or a merchant. A peddler who goes from place to place selling his wares is known as Chapman. Thus Chapman is an occupational name and surname. The genealogy and existence of this name can be traced back to the medieval ages. It is less common as a first name than as a surname.

    English: topographic name for someone who lived by a hill or tumulus, Old English beorg, a cognate of Old High German berg ‘hill’, ‘mountain’ (see Berg). This name has become confused with derivatives of Old English burh ‘fort’ (see Burke). Reaney suggests a further derivation from Old English bur ‘bower’ + hus ‘house’

    I'd be happy if we could just say names and have Cuchulainn supply the meaning behind them. I love etymology. xD

    My surname is so damn uncommon, that if I just gave you that, one Google search could uncover everything about me.

    My name is Jamie, not sure what that means...not that there's much in a name.

    Variant of English Byron.

    English: habitational name from Byram in West Yorkshire or Byrom in Lancashire, both named with Old English b¯rum ‘at the cattle sheds’, dative plural of b¯re ‘byre’.
    This name and the variants Biron and Biram have occasionally been adopted as Jewish surnames, presumably as Americanized forms of Jewish names that cannot now be identified.

    Taken from my EoY:

    It's basically a name I came up with. Back in Grade 5 a friend and I were trying to come up with cool sounding names for something I can't exactly remember. He came up with the names Aklan and Emokichuk. I tried to come up with cool names as well but he didn't like my name ideas like Gatradis and Kyudis. Evastio was the only name he found cool. When I was making my EoFF account I wanted to make my name a cool one that nobody else would be using. Evastio was one of the first ones that came to mind so I decided to stick with that name.

Cognates: Irish: Réamann (Gaelic); Redmond (Anglicized). German: Rei(n)mund, Raimund. Italian: Raimondo. Spanish: Ramón, Raimundo. Portuguese: Raimundo.
    Short form: English: Ray.

    Feminine forms: French, English: Raymonde (rare). German: Raimunde. Italian: Raimonda. Spanish: Ramona, Raimunda.

    Don't be so sure tulip.

    Jamie: Scottish: pet form of James, used especially among Lowland Scots, in contrast to the Highland form Hamish, which is derived from a Gaelic form. (f.) English (esp. U.S.): recent adoption as a feminine equivalent of James, influenced by the fact that -ie has come to be regarded as a characteristically feminine ending, except in Scotland.


    BTW: I typed in Jamie Butterballs into Google with no success...yer fulla .
