Names
Dear American and Moroccan students, What does your name mean? What do you know about why
you were given that name? What do you know about your last name (your family
name or surname)? Please click "comment" below and leave your reply.
I don’t know if Marquise has any real significance. It’s my name, so it’s important but I don’t know where it came from. It was given to me by my grandfather. I’m definitely making a name for myself. I don’t know if my last name is really important or where it came from, it’s “White.” My middle name is “Carmale’ and that’s the most important name to me. It’s my dad’s name and it shows who I come from and how much my dad means to me. My nickname is “Mark,” they just call me that because it’s short and it’s easier than saying Marquise all day.
My last name in German means smart. I don’t really like my name, but I’m kinda stuck with it. I always wanted the name “Hunter.” I never knew why...I just wanted it. Anyway my last name is more important to me than my first name because it means so much more than my first name. Noack is German.
My name is Shania and in Native American it means "Im On My Way." In Hebrew it means "God Is Gracious." In Spanish my name means "Beautiful." I was named after Shania Twain the Country singer. S is for strength, there when needed. H is for heavenly, your spirit is strong. A is for able, for you surely are. N is for noble, your regal bearing. I is for ideals, no higher! A is for advantage, for you are blessed with many.
I was given my name Kevin because after hours of sitting in the hospital contemplating on a name, my mother and aunt finally thought of Kevin and they liked the name. I was given Henry because that is my fathers middle name. My name is an Irish name and I am 50% irish. My last name “Watts” was used from the first generation of my family in Ireland, and has been passed down ever since.
My name is Kyra. I don’t really know where my mom got the name from our how she cam up with the idea of naming me that. But I have done some research before on what my name means. It means to be ladylike. My last name is Wallace. I don’t know that much about my last name either. But I always heard that my last name reminded people of a famous slave owner. But that is pretty much all I know about my name. Together it means a Lady like Slave owner. But I don’t know how accurate this information is.
DG. My Mother wanted me to have the same initials as her, Donnette Grace. But she also wanted my middle name to have her mother’s name in it, so she put a “Gi” in front of “Anne”, “GiAnne”. Then I was born in the day at 7:57 in the morning, and my dad’s middle name is Lee, so they put it together and got “Daylee”. Daylee GiAnne.
My last name is Hogue , I do not know if it means anything. I know that it is French. My first name , Dardacia does not have a meaning but is what it is because of my dad’s name and what my mom wanted . My mom wanted a daughter name daja and my dad wanted to name me darnella . My mom disagreed and decided to take the beginning of his name and then add daja but in a unique way . So she spelled it dacia . with a cia at the ending .
my names alyssa. alyssa means joy, and great happiness. which is true im very joyful :) i was given this name because my mom thought it was pretty and original so she named me that. my lastname is winterbauer. winterbauer is german.
I don't know what the meaning of my name means. All I know is that my uncle named me when I was born. I have my grandpa last name. There was a time when most of my family on my mom side had the last name of summers, But then everybody got married. So now it's just me and another family member that has the last name of summers.
Before I was born my grandmothers dying wish was to have me named after her because she felt she wouldn’t be a live by the time I was born but she did. She actually lived 5 more years after I was born. She died from a stork then later a heart attack. My full name is Tamra Jone’ Jones ; my middle name is actually a combination of my dad’s first name and my moms middle name. John + Rene’ makes Jone’ but it looks too close to my last name and people say it wrong all the time. So when I turn 18 I plan on changing it to Jonnae.
I was named after my great Grandpa thats kinda awkward considering i’m a girl. His name was Emil, so they pretty much just put a “y” on the end. M middle name has been passed down four generations and is still going to be passed down. My middle name is Ann and my Great-Great-Grandma, my Great Grandma, my mom, and me all have the same middle name. I also have a second middle name, because since I am Catholic I get confirmed and get another middle name. That name is Veronica. My nicknames are pretty basic, Em and Emmy thats pretty much it.
My first name primarily started because my dad loves Mariah Carey, (even thought he’ll never admit it.) My family loved the name so we just went with it. My middle name came from my great grandma Isabel. My last name is obviously my dads last name. It came from out slave owners way back when.
“Victory of the people” is what my name means, derived from greek origin. I was given this name because of a guy who saved my mother from the black river when she was 5 his name was Nicholas Jacobsmeier and he was my mothers inspiration for my name Patrick is my middle name and it was given to me by my great grandfather whose first name was patrick.
