What does your Name mean?

[Zekester]

A fun idea, I had while trying to come up with a name for my Cast.

You can use either your real name or Character's name. Simply find your name under the letter and copy/paste its meaning.

Ex: Joshua.

The meaning of the name Joshua is God Is Salvation
The origin of the name Joshua is Hebrew

One more for lulz: Jesus.

The meaning of the name Jesus is Form Of Joshua (Booya)
The origin of the name Jesus is Spanish
Jesus is the Greek form of the Hebrew name that also gives us the modern name Joshua. It is most commonly used as a given name in Spanish speaking countries.

[AlexCraig]

I made a thread like this in FKL a while back. Only it was for our real names. Ah well. Since I usually name my main after myself, this should be pretty easy.

Alex - Defender of men (True story. Looked it up a while back.)

And for kicks and giggles, here's my second character I made a while back.
AR-7 - Animatronic Ranger 07

[Neith]

I had to Wikipedia my name, that site didn't know the meaning.


Darren is a given name of uncertain etymological origins. The most popular theory is that it originated from a Gaelic surname meaning "great". Another is that it is an English version of the name Darryl, which originated from the French surname D'Airelle meaning "of Airelle."

There is a line of thought that in Old English, it could mean 'great rocky hill'. The Welsh word Tarren ("knoll, rock, tump") takes a soft mutation after feminine nouns to form darren and is a common element in Welsh place names (see External links at the bottom of the page for an example). However it probably has has no etymological connection with the given name Darren and it is not a native Welsh personal name.

Darren is the most popular spelling of many variants of the name, but was virtually unheard of before the late 1950s.[citation needed] The increasing popularity of this name may be due to the television show Bewitched which featured a character named Darrin. It may also be due to the popularity of the singer Bobby Darin in 1958. It is currently ranked at 342 in the USA.

So, either great, or named after a French town. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Charlemagne was a powerful Germanic leader who synthesized a relatively ordered society out of the chaos that followed the fall of Rome. He not only united France, but much of central Europe. His widespread fame gave rise to many forms of his name, in many languages.
For example, in Latin he was referred to as Carolus Magnus, and in German as Karl der Grosse. Many of these forms remain popular names in their own right, or have formed the basis for other modern names.
