What 's the meaning behind your name?

[Onyx Oblivion]

Francis

"Free man; Frenchman"

But I'm not from Half Life, and I'm not French. But I do plan to leave America and move to Canada one day.

[Azaradel]

Sarah; meaning "Princess"

Thank you, Mario! But our princess is in another castle!

I dunno, I kinda like my name, but the meaning can go fuck itself.

On a hilarious note;

It was a huge hit in Sweden the year I was born.
Sometimes, I hate my parents...

 

[RelexCryo]

My first name means Strong. My second name means "Gift from God."

 

[LongAndShort]

Thomas, the twin or brother.

I am a brother, so I guess its appropriate.

You guys can call me Tom though. Most people do, it just sorta fits.

 

[R4ptur3]

Christopher, which i think is greek, meaning christ-bearer.

I dont really think a first name is important though, i mean someone just gave it to you, where as your last name will have been about for at least two generations. So my last name is Robinson (yes thats right christopher robinson, very close to the guy in winnie the pooh) which means son of robin (how orginal). i think its an English name, but im not so sure.

[ethaninja]

ETHAN

Gender: Masculine

Usage: English, Hebrew (Anglicized), French, Biblical, Biblical Latin

Other Scripts: אֵיתָן (Hebrew)

Pronounced: EE-thən (English) [key]
Means "solid, enduring" in Hebrew. This was the name of a wise man in the Old Testament. After the Protestant Reformation it was occasionally used as a given name in the English-speaking world, and it became somewhat common in America due to the fame of the revolutionary Ethan Allen (1738-1789). It only became popular towards the end of the 20th century. This was the name of the main character in Edith Wharton's novel 'Ethan Frome' (1911).


Apparently. No idea what all that means but meh, take it for what its worth.

 

[chozo_hybrid]

I was named after my late uncle, who helped my parents through some of the toughest times in their life and also was the reason they met. Without him, I wouldn't have been born, it's too bad I never got to meet him.

 

[foodmaniac]

Vincent means 'victorious', or something like that. I'm not too sure what it originates from.
Tran on the other hand... I have no idea. You'll have to ask someone who knows about Vietnamese etymology.

Also, funnily enough, Benjamin means 'Son of my right hand', which is... well... funny.

 

[Celtic Cynic]

First name means Great Fire, surname means those who live on high ground.
