Origins of your real name?
Do you know any of the history behind your name?
If you have a middle name include that too.
Here's mine, from WP.
[u]First Name: Sean[/u][quote]Seán (Ulster dialect spelling Séan) is an Irish language name. It is Irish borrowing of the Norman French Jehan (see Jean). Anglicisations of the name include Sean, Shane, Shayne, Shaine, Shan, Shon, Shaun, and Shawn. The name Shane comes from the Ulster pronunciation of the name, whereas the names Shaun, Shawn, or Sean come from the way it is pronounced in Munster, Leinster, and Connacht.
In 1066, the Norman duke, William the Conqueror conquered England, where the Norman French name Jehan / Johan (pronounced [dʒɛˈan]) came to be pronounced Jonn, and spelled John. The Norman from the Welsh Marches, with the Norman King of England's mandate conquered Ireland in the 1170s. The Irish nobility was replaced by Norman nobles, some of whom bore the Norman French name Johan or the Anglicised name John. The Irish adapted the name to their own pronunciation and spelling, producing the name Seán. Sean is commonly pronounced Shawn (Seán), but in the northern parts of Ireland (owing to a northern dialect), it is pronounced "Shan", "Shen" or "Shayn" (Séan, with the accent on the e instead of the a), thus leading to the variant Shane.[/quote]
[u]Middle Name: Michael[/u]
[quote]Michael , also occasionally Micheal, is a given name that comes from the Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל / מיכאל (Mikha'el), derived from the question מי כאל (mi k'ʔel) meaning "Who is like God?" In English, it is sometimes shortened to Mike, Mikey, Mickey, or Mick.
The name first appears in the Bible, Numbers 13:13, where Sethur the son of Michael is one of twelve spies sent into the Land of Canaan. The Archangel Michael, referred to later in the Bible (Daniel 12:1), is considered a saint by the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church. Twenty-nine September is the feast day of the three archangels, Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.[/quote]

According to Urban Dictionary my name means: Someone who is unusually well hung. People with the name James are generally known for their good looks (especially the eyes) and women are just simply attracted to them. Wurd. It really means "he who supplants others".

1 回复由Trentonimor编辑： 3/5/2013 11:34:44 PMTrenton: - Meaning 'Trent's Town' My parents were very creative. Alternatively, they said I was named after some soccer player, which is ironic considering I have a certain distaste for most sports, particularly soccer.

5 回复My first name is apparently Russian for 'Large Penis', Welsh for 'Lightning' and Latin for 'Greatest'. Thank you Urban Dictionary :D

My name "Ian" is the modern Scottish form of "John". [quote]English form of Iohannes, the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious". This name owes its popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered saints. The first is John the Baptist, a Jewish ascetic who was considered the forerunner of Jesus Christ. The second is the apostle John, who is also traditionally regarded as the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation. This name was initially more common among Eastern Christians in the Byzantine Empire, but it flourished in Western Europe after the First Crusade. In England it became extremely popular: during the later Middle Ages it was given to approximately a fifth of all English boys.[/quote]

Maxwell: According to Scottish tradition, Maccus, the son of Unwin or Undweyn, was a Saxon lord, who obtained a salmon pool on the river Tweed near Kelso Bridge. The pool was then called Maccus's wiel (from the Old English "wael" or stream). The adjacent lands got the name, and the descendants of Maccus became known as, "de" Maccuswel, and, subsequently, became the powerful Maxwell family of Dumfriesshire and Galloway.

Rhys is a Welsh given name (usually male), which is famous in Welsh history and which is also used as a surname. Anglicised forms of the name include Rice, Rees, Reese and Reece. It also translates to enthusiasm apparently, which is funny, because that's something I seem to be lacking right now. My surname is a bit more interesting, it's the name of an important Irish family, "First found in the county of Monaghan, where they held a seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman conquest and the arrival of the Duke William of Hastings in 1066". Pretty cool.

From the Greek name Ανδρεας (Andreas), which was derived from ανηρ (aner) "man" (genitive ανδρος (andros) "of a man"). In the New Testament the apostle Andrew, the first disciple to join Jesus, is the brother of Simon Peter. According to tradition, he later preached in the Black Sea region, with some legends saying he was crucified on an X-shaped cross. Andrew, being a Greek name, was probably only a nickname or a translation of his real Hebrew name, which is not known. Makes sense cause I'm Greek. But my official Greek name is Ανδρου instead of Ανδρεας. D:

Bryan: The given name Bryan is a variant of the given name Brian. This name is thought to be derived from an Old Celtic language word meaning "high", or "noble". The spelling of the given name Bryan was influenced by the surname Bryan. This surname has several different origins. One origin of the name is from an Anglo-Norman name, de Brionne,[1] derived from either of two places called Brionne in the north of France—one is Brionne, in Eure; the other is Brionne in Creuse. Another origin of the surname is from the name which was brought to England and Ireland by the Breton followers of the Normans, who invaded in England in the 11th century. This name is thought to be derived from the same Old Celtic language element as the modern given name Bryan. When the Anglo-Normans invaded Ireland in the 12th century, this name was confused with the native Irish name Brian. The 'i' in "Brionne" is pronounced like a 'y', and as a result, as the names got confused, the y emerged.
