    CHAD
    Gender: Masculine

    Usage: English

    Pronounced: CHAD [key]

    From the Old English name Ceadda which is of unknown meaning, possibly based on Welsh cad "battle". This was the name of a 7th-century English saint. Also, a country in Africa bears this name, though it originates from a different source.

    MICHAEL:

    Gender: Masculine

    Usage: English, German, Czech, Biblical

    Pronounced: MIE-kul [key]
    From the Hebrew name מִיכָאֵל (Mika'el) which meant "who is like God?". This is the name of one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition and the only one identified as an archangel in the Bible. In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament he is portrayed as the leader of heaven's armies, and thus is considered the patron saint of soldiers. This was also the name of nine Byzantine emperors and a czar of Russia.

    JOHN:

    Gender: Masculine

    Usage: English, Biblical

    Pronounced: JAHN [key]
    English form of Iohannes, which was the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious". This name owes its consistent popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered as saints. The first was John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus Christ and a victim of beheading by Herod Antipas. The second was the apostle John, also supposedly the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation. The name has been borne by 23 popes, as well as kings of England, Hungary, Poland, Portugal and France. It was also borne by the poet John Milton and the philosopher John Locke.

    MEYER

    Gender: Masculine

    Usage: Jewish

    Other Scripts: מֵאִיר (Hebrew)
    Variant of MEIR. It also coincides with a German surname meaning "mayor, leader".

    III

    Roman numeral for the THIRD.

    My full name is Joshua James Aloyious Kobsar

    only the first two meanings were found :sad:

    JOSHUA
    Gender: Masculine

    Usage: English, Biblical

    Pronounced: JAH-shu-wa, JAW-shwa [key]

    From the Hebrew name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yehoshu'a) which meant "YAHWEH is salvation". Joshua was one of the twelve spies sent into Canaan by Moses in the Old Testament. After Moses died Joshua succeeded him as leader of the Israelites. The name Jesus was a variant of the name Joshua.


    JAMES
    Gender: Masculine

    Usage: English, Biblical

    Pronounced: JAYMZ [key]

    English form of the Late Latin Jacomus which was derived from Ιακωβος (Iakobos), the New Testament Greek form of יַעֲקֹב (Ya'aqov) (see JACOB). This is the name of two apostles in the New Testament. The first was Saint James the Greater, the apostle John's brother, who was beheaded by Herod Agrippa in the Book of Acts. The second was James the Lesser, son of Alphaeus. Another James (known as James the Just) is also mentioned in the Bible as being the brother of Jesus. Kings of England and Scotland have borne this name. Other famous bearers include the inventor of the steam engine James Watt, the explorer Captain James Cook, and the novelist and poet James Joyce.

    I'm too lazy to look it up again, but Kyle meant something ironic like "strait" and my last name meant "red or rusty" or something like that. My middle name "Dwayne" means I'm an accident and my parents hate me.
