Name is Aleksander.
From the good ol' greek Alexander. I've heard it means "he who protects", which is pretty awesome. I've also heard that a russian take on the name is Sasha. Which I find desturbing on many levels, as in it's not only kinda girly, but also my parents had a dog named Sasha before they had me... o_0
Edit: babyhold.com said: From the Greek name Alexandros, meaning "defender of men." Cool
still looking into the Sasha thing...
Edit 2: Found it. same site: -The name Sasha is a baby girl name. The name Sasha comes from the English origin. In English The meaning of the name Sasha is: From the Russian name Sasha, a pet form of Alexander, meaning "defender of mankind."-

My first name, I've always heard was "chosen of/by God"
My last, "Schwarz" is the German word for Black. Bonus points, in that its actually the correct spelling of the word. Most Americans got a T stuck in between the R and Z when their ancestors were immigrating.

Last name Howe (pronounced "how")-Of the hill. how fitting because I live on a hill! Thinking about changing it to howel so people will stop calling me howie.
Wow, all these responses really show how varied and different our names are. Although I did notice quite a few of them had something or other to do with God. Granted, I'm guessing most of our parents were religious.
Now for my surname, which has 2 names in it, a common practice in Hispanic families.
Quesada-Spanish: habitational name from Quesada, a place in Jaen province. The place name is of uncertain derivation; there may be some connection with Old Spanish requexada "corner", "tight spot".
Silman-
Huh..I never knew it came from Middle English.

Silman-
This unusual and interesting name has two possible origins, the first of which is from a medieval nickname for a happy, cheerful and fortunate man. The derivation is from the Middle English "seely", meaning happy, fortunate from the Old English "saelig", from "sael", happiness, good fortune. The second possible origin for the modern surname is from an occupational name for a servant employed by someone called "Seal" or "Sealey", both medieval personal names from the word "sael", happy, as above. There are a great many variants of the modern surname, from Selman, Silman, Silmon and Sellman to Silliman, and Selliman. The name development has included Thomas Selman (1275, Worcestershire) and Henry Silmon (1327, Wiltshire). The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Ailricius Seliman, which was dated 1169, in the Northamptonshire Pipe Rolls, during the reign of King Henry 11, known as "The Builder of Churches", 1154 - 1189. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

My name is Andy and yesterday was supposed to be my birthday so that my name would make sense. Damn you mum for birthing me on the 4th!
So yeah, there's really no sense in my name. I just put Andy in it due to the fact that my name is Andy, "from" because... because nothing and Monday due to the fact that I was thinking of Monday at the time.

Apparently that means...
Irish origin/meaning = World leader
Celtic origin/meaning = Dark stranger
Gaelic origin/meaning = Dark stranger (again)
Scottish origin/meaning = Great cheif, world mighty
Sirname: Mackintosh
Clan origin/meaning (from Gaelic apparently) = Son of the Cheif
Dark stranger, Son of the Cheif. (that sounds far too awsome for me)

Sorry, but I was asking about your real name, not your username. But if you don't want to, that's ok.AndyFromMonday said:
