Your Name In The Language Of Your People

[ace_of_something]

Well my first name is Thor which I don't know if that means anything in particular... I'm pretty sure it's the same in Norwegian as it is in English. My middle name would translate to 'sven's son' and my last name is old norwegian for 'Anvil' with an extra letter in it (anglicized). It's anvil because my great great grandfather had no grasp on English and when asked what his name was misunderstood and try to explain what it is he does for a living (makes horseshoes or something like that) and they picked out the word for 'anvil'

Or so the legend goes.

So... God of Thunder Son of Steven Anvil the third?

I dunno that seems kind of wordy.

my nephew has the same name as me but with a four at the end instead of a three.

 

[Deathsong17]

My name is Rhys and in Welsh it's Rhys.

 

[dark-amon]

Henrik Tungvåg Stavenes. In english that would be something like Henry Tungvåg Staf-river

 

[ace_of_something]

"Tim Meyer"

or, as we Americans say,
"Tim Meyer"

too hard with Americans I guess..since we're a damn mixing pot.

well what are you primarily? im not 100% Irish but i live in Ireland and the majority of my blood is Irish.

I'm also mostly Irish.

and you name is Tim Meyer? ok your name in Irish is "Taidhgín Ó Mír" first

name:Taidhgín

last name:Ó Mír

I thought Meyer was a German surname?

 

[LockHeart]

Luke - I've got two versions of this: one is a derivative of a Latin name meaning 'man from Lucania', and the other is a Greek derivation meaning 'illuminated'.

Thomson - Son of Thomas.

just about all names can be translated into Irish. just because your last name isn't Irish that doesn't mean i can't be translated.

 

[Zacharine]

Considering my family comes from Danmark/northern Germany and from there via Sweden to Finland over the centuries, the last name of my family means, translated for meaning and not words,

The Man Who Binds Together.

Presumably my ancestors were some kind of nordic sail-makers or communally important people (like priests), because at least according to experts who compiled our family history, only those with an important role to the locals got named after their job during the time period my family can be traced back to.

your name in in Irish is "Aonas"

 

[guess who]

My name basicly means "that Scotish guy that makes jars" I think.

in that case can 'Thor' and 'Anvil' be translated in that way?

I need a new alais.

 

[Klepa]

well my name is greek so: Παύλος
snip

To be a smug finnish bastard, your finnish name would be "Paavali". While a horrible name to give to a child, it's apparently not illegal, although near extinct. In Finnish Paavali will always be that dude in the bible, and nobody else. Most sensible translation would be "Pauli" or "Paavo".


My first name is a derivate from John, and my last name "Virtanen" sort of means "Small Stream". It's the most popular last name in Finland, so technicly I'm John Smith, the most generic man ever.

I also just found out that "Klepa" is a small village in northern poland.

 

[MajoraPersona]

Not sure about 'my people', since my name and ancestry are quite assorted, but basically I am:

"God is Gracious" "Rich Guard" "Descendant of King Ragheallach".

Or, if you were to use my other name, I am "Before the Saviour".

 

[Player 2]

Something in hebrew I don't remember.

 

[iain62a]

I am Iain Mac a' Mhaolein of the Clan Mac a' Mhaoilein. I was born in 1518 in the village of Arnol on the shores of Loch Urrughag. And I am immortal.

Germanic for "Strength of the spear" or Gaelic for "Brave Spearman."
So either I'm a bad ass with a pointy object or people have heard of my prowess in the sack.

I thought the Irish spoke English, what do they speak then?
