Wikipedia says... said:
Ronald is a male given name, originally a Scottish form of a Scandinavian name that was cognate with Reginald. Reginald has the meanings of powerful person, king, wise dominion, smart leadership, clever rulership, or thoughtful chief.

It is believed that Ronald Originally came from from the slang term aron, that most likely came from the Greek word ëßðïò (fat).
First part I get, but I'm not familiar with greek; could someone explain the second part to me?

Wikipedia said:
The boy's name (Iron Ninja's real name here) is pronounced (Pronounciation of Iron Ninja's real name here). It is of Irish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is "champion/knight". Variant of Niall. Also possibly (Latin) "black/dark/night"
That's nothing special really. Almost every european boy's name is Gaelic for "champion"

My surname...
Wikipedia said:
Wilson is a common surname of English and Scottish origin. It literally means "son of Wil" (William, an Old German name).
This suprised me, I was always told the surname started in Scandinavia (Denmark for me) and then moved into Scotland.


Wikipedia again said:
As a name, (Iron Ninja's real name here) is often satirically assigned in American comedy sketches to anyone of an English origin.
This is correct. And quite frankly I'm getting sick of it.

First name by Wikipedia said:
*BLANK* is a popular name in the Hebrew language, in which it literally means "palm tree" and represents being upright and just. It is normally given as a male name, although in the modern era there is a rising trend to name new born female babies with male names, and as such, the name is occasionally given to girls
That my first name, though it can also mean "Tall, long, handsome" :3

I don't know what my last name means, but it possible that it originated in Germany.

My name translated from ancient Sumerian means "Wonderful greatness of the modern shining tomorrow." Or perhaps that was a Japanese T-shirt I once saw.

First: Jason - Greek for 'Healer'
Middle: Thomas - Aramaic for 'Twin'
Last: No meaning, but in searching for one I found out that only 1 out of every 400,000 Americans share my last name :p (750 total people in the 2000 census)

My middle name Ruth is Hebrew and means "companion" or "friend."

My surname is Hanmer and is Welsh from what I can gather. There is a small village in Wales called Hanmer. It's in Wrexham I think.

My first name means, "Judged by God,"
My middle name means, "Ruler of the army,"
My family name means, "Strength of the forest," in German.

My dad's a bit more interesting because his first name means, "Great spearman," and he has the same middle name as I do. So, in Old German his whole name would roughly translate to, "Great spearman, Ruler of the Army, Strength of the forest." Kind of sounds like some mythological warrior.

My first name means peaceful ruler and its origin is Germanic.
My first middle name means cliff or rock if looking at the greek origin but if you look at the old norse origin it means chief or important person.
My second middle name means men's defender/warrior.
For my sure name I couldn't find a meaning but if you translate it directly it exists of two words: river and stream.

I'm not to sure what my name means, possibly 'fame' but it was chosen for me because both my father and grandfathers names joined makes mine - that is beginning of one and end of other.

My first name is of Hebrew origin, meaning "he who supplants"
My second name gets really murky in it's meaning, but I'm pretty sure it's paying homage to some place in Germany.
