Do you know your name's meaning and origin?

I do. My name is Alexis and it means Defender / Defender of man kind. My name is greek. Do you know your names meaning and origin???? If you don't, tell me your name and i will be more than happy to look it up for you!





Thanks!





By the way your name meaning and/or origin will be posted as an edit if you want me to look it up!

Do you know your name's meaning and origin?
My name is Candace and I just looked it up...it's English and it means "Queen of Ethiopia" HA! That's great, thanks for this question.





My daughters are Allison, which is German meaning "Little Alice"; Emily, which is English meaning " To Strive Or Excel Or Rival"; Megan, which is Welsh meaning 'pearl'; and Celia, which means "heaven" in Latin.





Thanks for the question - I didn't know most of these!
Reply:My name is Emily and I've heard it means "artistic" but for some reason I don't think it's true. If anyone knows the meaning (with a source) I'd be happy to hear it. Also, the origin...I think it's Latin, but I'm not sure. Usually unique or ethnic names are the ones people are most interested in finding out the meaning. Common names like Emily, Sarah, Jessica, etc...no one bothers with the meaning, lol. Like, if you introduce your new baby and say, "Her name is Elizabeth", people will say something like, "How nice..." But if you say, "Her name is Aoibheann (Irish: "Eee-veen")" people are going to ask you, "Wow, what does THAT mean?"








EDIT: lolol @ "elf army"!
Reply:My name is Megan and I've actually never known the origin or meaning, but I just looked it up. It's Greek for Pearl and Welsh for Little Pearl. So then I was all happy thinking "Aww I'm so glad it has a nice meaning", until I looked up my middle name Marie and found it, it means Bitter in Hebrew. But it's a French form of Mary too. =)





Good question btw!
Reply:Yes Elizabeth - it's a Hebrew name from the Bible which means something like "my God is an oath" OR "my God is abundance".





Like many of these ancient Bible names, they are so old that it is not entirely sure what they actually mean.
Reply:My name is Gabrielle which is French. I know that for sure because my french teacher insists on calling me that instead of letting me pick out my own french name, oh well.





It has something to do with god because it is derived from Gabriel.

I found three meanings and origins:


Latin - Peaceful


English - Elf Army


Scandinavian - Holy





So that makes me a holy but peaceful...elf army?





Okay, I guess...I can make that work...
