Does your first name or surname have a meaning, you don't have to give out your name, just the meaning of it.
This is where my first name comes from:
It is of Old English origin, and its meaning is "black; pale, white". Transferred use of the surname. Originally a nickname for someone with hair or skin that was either very dark (Old English "blaec") or very light (Old English "blac").
Ed. Means beefy humorous guy in films.
Actually its Edward, which means something like guard or protector.
"I'm American, honey. Our names don't mean s**t." Butch in Pulp Fiction
-Ed
Algin
According to Webster's Seventh new Collegiate Dictionary:
A form of sea kelp, brown in color, often used as a stabilizer or an emulsifier. :question:
Edwin - It means wealthy friend. Please don't ask for money.
I understand that, biblically, Al means "no"...
And I tend to get an awful lot of that...

Matthew: Hebrew. meaning "Gift Of God"
Yeah, no pressure there, Mom and Dad.
Emanuel = god with us, in hebrew.
Jack - Name based on John (Hebrew) "the Lord is gracious".
Yup, mom and dad got pretty lucky when they had me :teddyr:
As near as I can tell, my full name translates to "Guardian of the Polish World Ruler." Apparently, I was supposed to guard the last pope. My bad.
Jesse- some biblical s**t..... some guy from the bible
Best translation I can come up with...
No gin, just peach wine for the stranger in the land of the devices used for cultivating.
Michael is Hebrew and means "Who is like God?" It's believed among Christians to be the name of the lead archangel and is one of the most popular male names in the United States.
My handle also has a meaning. It's Klingonese for "Burns bright".
Andrew means "manly."
My first, middle and last names suggest that I am "The vigilant one who supplants dwellers amongst narrow trees." Yup, story of my life so far...
I looked mine up years ago. it translated to:
Surname that has no meaning, surname that has no meaning, town beside the creek.
My family nickname is now slang for a rather manly woman.

This sounds like you might be in line for the hero part in the next
Children of the Corn movie (corn stalks = narrow trees to small people). Congrats!
Joseph, meaning "he who has much promise, but shall amount to nothing, for he is one lazy bastard." At least that's what my wife thinks it means.
My name is also Joseph, and while someone has already beaten me to the humorous punch, I guess I'll just say what the name really means...
It's Hebrew for "God will provide." At least, that's all I can ever seem to find on it.

I believe that Trevor is a Welsh word meaning a village chief, so that would mean my second name should be Vitalstatistix from the Asterix books. :teddyr: Either that, or that chief's pet name, Piggywiggy. :twirl:
Colleen means "girl".
William is the anglicized version of Wilhelm, which means "Protector."
My last name is derived from a diminutive of "Adam."
Finally found the origin of my last name. It means someone living in a hole or valley. Might explain why I'm always in debt but able to survive.
According to BabyNames.com "Andrew" means: Manly
My middle name "Taylor" means: Tailor
For some strange reason I'm not surprised.
maybe I should explain what my last name (Hellblom)mean. its Swedish for rock flower :teddyr:
