Now I'm angry. I just found out that Evan means God is gracious. This just made my day awful. But in Celtic it apparently means young warrior. That's not as bad.
My first name is an alternate German form of Stephen, which is derived from the Greek word for Crown, Stephanos
Oddly enough, if Behind The Name is to be believed, every variant of Stephen is supposed to be pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable. I only bring this up because I'll be fucked of half the people who try to pronounce my name don't put the emphasis on the wrong syllable.
My last name means Miller, like the guy who mills grains, in a mill. however instead of translating the name to english, my family apparently transliterated it, so the "ö" was made into an "oe". Again, I'll be damned if half the people who read my last name don't try to pronounce it Mueller, like Bueller.
For those of you playing along at home, my name is spelled Steffen Moeller.

Daniel is Hebrew in origin and means "The Lord is my Judge." Im content with that, its not like being named something else would have changed who I am.
In danish, Nicole translates into "saviour of the people", just checked wikipedia, too, which says "victorious people". It's all good haha. 
From what I can find on my own name, it just says that Emily is the feminine English form of the old roman name Amelius which was derived from the latin word aemulus meaning "rival".
EDIT:\\ Just checked Wiki and it says that my name is derived from the feminine Roman name Aemilia but that's also derived from the latin word "aemulus".
