The meaning of names

[razbuten363]

My name, Robert, means bright flame. Interesting as I have singed all the hair on my face off more than once by standing a bit too close to bright flames. I also lost a bit of my hearing playing with fireworks but that's different.

Also, my last name is Kelly. It's a common name so I was wondering if anyone knows what it means?

 

[Datalord]

Mine means foundation on fire with enthusiasm, of enthusiastic foundation, in hebrew

 

[Desaari]

My name's Timothy, meaning "To honour God", and my surname, Clarke, I believe is derived from the profession "clerk".

 

[pffh]

Lord of shovels (I'm not joking).

I've been reading through a thread about norse mytholigy, and the name Thor came up, and that had me wondering; Do people know the meaning of their names?

I happen to know that Andreas Frederiksen means "Man, son of peace-ruler", so if you know what your name means, feal free to post it.

Hmm Frederiksen. That seems to be the danish/norwiegen/swedish version of Friðrikson which means rich of peace and that could also be interpreted as peace bringer (the son/sen just means son of like you said).
I'm not correcting you I'm just adding to your translation since the norse names can often be translated in more then one way even if all the translations are similar.

Guillaume, which is William, which is actually Wilhelm.

''Will helm'', or ''he who will helm''.

Waste of words, if you ask me

William or Wilhelm comes from the germanic name Willahelm meaning "wants to wear a helmet" aka "I want to have my head still attached to my body after a battle".

 

[standokan]

my name stan means 'Stone Clearing' and 'Meadow that is stony' but i don't understand one of those =.= .

 

[Sir Ollie]

Oliver is a given name, also a surname, believed to derive from the Old French given name Olivier (though this may be a false etymology);"Alf" and "Ihar", meaning "Elf Army", or, as a Latin origin, the bearer of the olive branch.

Well my name sucks.

 

[Gooble]

Robert means 'bright' and 'fame'; Calvert comes from 'Calf herder'. So basically I should be a clever, famous cattle farmer

 

[PeaceFistCreations]

My middle name, Emanual, means "God is with Us".

 

[darkless]

Paul Furey

Paul: Latin for small or small drop
Furey: Old Irish for descendant of one with bushy eyebrows.

 

[Berethond]

From the Old Norse name Eiríkr, derived from the elements ei "ever" and ríkr "ruler".

I'm destined to rule for eternity.
I rock.
There are over twenty Scandinavian kings with my name.

 

[NeutralDrow]

Well, my first name, Christopher, means "Christ Carrier." Kind of ironic for an agnostic, but hey.

Apparently my last name means something along the lines of "guy who lives and hunts near an enclosed hedgerow." A bit anticlimactic, I suppose.

It's danish allright... I looked up the name Frederik, wich is the dansih equvilant of Frederich (german) and Fredrik (swedish).
Since you're iclandic, you might understand the original term, that is, the dansih term i translated, so here it is: fred-hersker. Translated directly it becomes "peace-ruler"; I'm guessing it's a monarch or such, that rules during peace time, but hey, rich of peace isn't that far from it.

 

[Tossth Esalad]

Furey: Old Irish for descendant of one with bushy eyebrows.

Hehe...

No offence, bur that's the first name that made me chuckle.

Fred-hersker = literally Peace-King, a better translations would be a king that brings peace to others.

 

[Fingerprint]

My name (roughly) translated means Rocky the Chief, son of John.

Piers derives from the French word for rock/stone.
Griffith comes from the Welsh word for chief.
And finally (yes, it's double barreled) Jones means son of John.

And hey, being called Rocky the chief is pretty cool - it's just a shame that no-one calls me that.

 

[Hippobatman]

Ulf is taken from old Norse and means "Wolf"

Grr! I'm a viking wolf!

 

[Cyberius]

Christopher means Christ-bearer

 

[Andalusa]

My first name, Morgan, doesn't have a particular meaning.
The internet has come up with "Lives by the Sea", "Circling Sea", "Great Brightness", "Bright Sea" and "Sea Shore".

A lot of water stuff, also, there's a lot of debate as to whether it's Irish or Welsh.

 

[Kajt]

Apparently my name means invaluable.
