WTF does your name mean?

[Cuchulainn]

Well? I'm not talking about your screen name but that was a thread I enjoyed & hath inspired this one. I mean your real name. If you're unsure I could probably tell you my Ma bought a stupid book full of them.

Important: You will be telling people your real name here, if you're under 18 I'd probably just play it with your first name or make up a name you wish you had like Horace or Lesley. Seriously though maybe only over 18s play or ON YOUR CRANIUM BE IT.

If, like me, you don't really give a flat who knows your name PLAY ON PLAYA.

Gareth Welsh and English: of Celtic origin, but uncertain ultimate derivation. It first occurs in Malory's Morte D'Arthur, as the name of the lover of Eluned and seems to have been heavily altered from its original form, whatever that may have been (possibly the same as Geraint). It is now very common in Wales, partly because Gary, which is actually an independent name, is often taken to be a pet form of it.

Collins Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Coileáin ‘descendant of Coileán’, a byname meaning ‘puppy’ or ‘young dog’.

Michael: English and German form of a common biblical name (meaning “who is like God?”) borne by one of the archangels, who is also regarded as a saint of the Catholic Church (cf. Gabriel and Raphael). In the Middle Ages, Michael was regarded as captain of the heavenly host (see Revelation 12: 7–9), symbol of the Church Militant, and patron of soldiers. He was often depicted bearing a flaming sword. Because of its sanctified warlike connotations, Michael was a popular name among early Christian military leaders, and was borne by eight Byzantine emperors, as well as by the founder (1596–1645) of the Romanov dynasty in Russia. The name is also borne by a Persian prince and ally of Belshazzar mentioned in the Book of Daniel. See also Michal. Cognates: Irish Gaelic: Mícheál. Scottish Gaelic: Micheal. Welsh: Meical, Mihangel. French: Michel. Italian: Michele. Spanish, Portuguese: Miguel. Catalan: Miquel. Basque: Mikel. Romanian: Mihai. Swedish: Mikael. Danish, Norwegian: Mikkel, Mikael. Polish: Michal. Czech: Mich(a)el. Russian: Mikhail. Ukrainian: Mikhailo. Finnish: Mikko. Hungarian: Mihály.

Crissmann: Either a variant spelling of English Crisman or possibly a respelling of German Christmann or Kressmann, a variant of Kress.
Kress: from a much altered pet form of the personal name Erasmus, a Latinized form of Greek erasmos ‘loved’ (see Rasmus).
from a much altered pet form of the personal name Christian.
from Middle High German kresse ‘gudgeon’, hence probably a nickname for someone thought to resemble the fish in some way or a metonymic occupational name for a fisherman.
unflattering nickname for a greedy person, from Old High German krassig, gratag ‘greedy’

Peter - derived from the Greek name Petros meaning 'stone'

Huang - Means 'yellow', which is perceived in Chinese culture as somewhat of a noble colour.

Huang: Chinese: from an ancient territory called Huang. Perhaps the most famous and revered of the ancient Chinese emperors is Huang Di (2697–2595 bc), considered father of the Chinese people. He is also known as ‘the Yellow Emperor’, since Huang also means ‘yellow’. Surprisingly, though, Huang Di is not credited with being a direct source of the surname. A descendant of his was granted the fief of the territory of Huang, which later served as the surname for certain descendants of the ruling family.

Syed :An honorific title that indicates that my family are decedents from our Prophets family

Murtaza (Arabic: مرتضى), a common Arabic name, is a variant transcription of Murtada, "chosen".[1] It is an Islamic name that dates back to the time of Islamic prophet Muhammad. Pronunciation varies with accent, from native Arabic speakers to Asians. A commonly held meaning of the name is "He who (God is) pleased with".

Due to their rhyming nature, Murtaza is often confused with Mustafa (Arabic: مصطفى), meaning "the chosen one", an epithet of Islamic prophet Muhammad
(Also a nickname for the Prophets Nephew Hazart Ali which fyi happens to be my middle name)



Coincidentally my brother's name is Mustafa.

So essentially I am 'Chosen' and is pleased by 'The Power that Be' while my bro is the 'Chosen One' ....I guess he fights vampires and demons in the night then......
