What does your name mean?

[Treemo]

Well, since someone else redid one of my old threads from the old days gone by, I figured I'd redo another one of them.

It's simple- What is the meaning of your name? You don't need to list what your name is, just the meaning, origin/meaning, usage, and gender it's associated with.

Here's the sites where you can do so.

For given and middle names: www.behindthename.com

For surnames: http://surnames.behindthename.com/ (Note: Your last name may not be found)


Well, here's mine.

First Name: Morgan
Gender: Unisex
Usage: Welsh, English, and French
Origin/Meaning: "From the Old Welsh masculine name Morcant, which was possibly derived from Welsh mor 'sea' and cant 'circle'. Since the 1980s in America Morgan has been more common for girls than boys, perhaps due to stories of Morgan le Fay."

Middle Name: Carol
Gender: Unisex
Usage: English
Origin/Meaning: "Short form of CAROLINE. It was formerly a masculine name, derived from CAROLUS. The name can also be given in reference to the English vocabulary word which means 'song' or 'hymn'."

Middle Name: Ash

Origin/Meaning: "Short form of ASHLEY. It can also come directly from the English word denoting either the tree or the residue of fire."

Last Name: Tillman

Simple as that. Like I said, you don't have to list your name, I just chose to. I have a Facebook, so everyone knows my name anyway. This is just suppossed to be a fun thing for people to do. And hey, you learn something about yourself.

And yes, one of my middle names is Ash.

Among Christians, this name was originally more common in Eastern Europe. It was borne in the 12th century by Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, a daughter of King Andrew II who used her wealth to help the poor. In medieval England it was occasionally used in honour of the saint, though the form Isabel (from Provençal and Spanish) was more common. It has been very popular in England since the reign of Queen Elizabeth I in the 16th century. Famous modern bearers include the British queen Elizabeth II (1926-) and actress Elizabeth Taylor (1932-).

[GroundMaster]

My name is Mitchell, which has no meaning but is derived from Michael:

MICHAEL

Usage: English, German, Czech, Biblical, Biblical Latin

Pronounced: MIE-kəl (English), MI-khah-el (German) [key]
From the Hebrew name מִיכָאֵל (Mikha'el) meaning "who is like God?". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God.

In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament he is portrayed as the leader of heaven's armies, and thus is considered the patron saint of soldiers.
