Your Names and their meanings/facts

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

So, I thought I'd make a thread about everyone's names, and the neat little facts that go with them.

Basically just tell us something about your real life name(s). Assuming of course you're comfortable giving out your name publicly

-information redacted-

My name is Jacob. It's my great grandfathers name. He was black.

It means ''heel-grabber'' apparently. I have no idea what that means. Something in the bible.

[Colon Leftbracket 971]

Colon: It's a character on you key board that you type by hitting shift semi-colon. It is used in punctuation for... stuff I don't feel like looking up at the moment. Looks like ":" It also could mean your pooper

 

Leftbracket: comes from Left - Bracket, another punctuation mark used commonly to replace a left parenthesis, looks like "{", doesn't mean your pooper

 

If you put both together and make Colon Leftbracket it makes ":{" a mustache face, as seen in the Stachioed Studios logo

 

 

What are you talking about that's totally my name!

[Marcato 2,143]

My name is Matthew, and the meaning of it is, and I hope i don't get tackle-trolled into the ground by atheists when i say this, but my name means "gift of God." My parents say its enforced in my creative talents in composing, some art and writing, but i don't know. It seems legit.

[Celestial Sloth 369]

Ryan- Irish, meaning 'little king'.

That'd be a hell of a short-lived kingdom.

 

And, 'little'?!

I know Kevin is a Gaelic (Irish) name which I remember means "handsome" (That avatar backs it up ).

 

I think Andersson is "Andrew's Son". If you didn't know, the 'Andersson' with 2 "ss" is Swedish, unlike the 'Anderson' which I believe is American.

 

I have no clue what 'Michael' stands for .

[Doctor XFizzle 8,651]

Taking Colon's cue

 

Doctor: means "healer"

Yocca: NOT the Mexican cactus! Apparently was originally Iocca but some Italian idiot couldn't spell his own last name, pronounced YAW-CA, Origin: Italian... I guess

...I hate my last name!

[be my waifu 2,842]

I won't give out my name, but I will say this

 

I am the fifth person in my family with my name. My dad, grandpa, great grandpa, and great great grandpa had the same exact name... Whenever I sign something, I put a V (Roman numeral five) at the end

 

I guess it just sounds cool or something...

 

And my forum name is a song by the band Stateless... I really like that band and I thought it sounded cool as a username

[Moosefullaeggs 543]

My name is Jacob. It's my great grandfathers name. He was black.

It means ''heel-grabber'' apparently. I have no idea what that means. Something in the bible.

Jayson:

From the Greek name

Ιασων (Iason)

, which was derived from Greek

ιασθαι (iasthai)

"to heal". In Greek

mythology

Jason was the leader of the Argonauts. After his uncle Pelias overthrew his father as king of Iolcos, Jason went in search of the Golden Fleece in order to win back the throne. During his journeys he married the sorceress

Medea

, who helped him gain the fleece and kill his uncle, but who later turned against him when he fell in love with another woman.

This name also appears in the New Testament, belonging to man who sheltered Paul and Silas. In his case, it may represent a Hellenized form of a Hebrew name. It was not used in England until after the Protestant Reformation.

Alan: The meaning of this name is not known for certain. It was used in Brittany at least as early as the 6th century, and it possibly means either "little rock" or "handsome" in Breton. Alternatively, it may derive from the tribal name of the Alans, an Iranian people who migrated into Europe in the 4th and 5th centuries.

This was the name of several dukes of Brittany, and Breton settlers introduced it to England after the Norman conquest. Famous modern bearers include Alan Shepard (1923-1998), the first American in space and the fifth man to walk on the moon, and Alan Turing (1912-1954), a British mathematician and computer scientist.

Dillinger: Origin: German, it is taken from a German village called Dillingham , name first appeared in 1768 and belonged to a German fur trader.

[Eavath 278]

First name Justin:

 

From the Latin name Iustinus, which was derived from JUSTUS (Latin name which meant "just"). This was the name of several early saints including Justin Martyr, a Christian philosopher of the 2nd century who was beheaded in Rome. It was also borne by two Byzantine emperors. As an English name, it has occasionally been used since the late Middle Ages, though it did not become common until the 20th century.

 

Middle Name Lynn:

 

From an English surname which was derived from Welsh llyn "lake". Before the start of the 20th century it was primarily used for boys, but it has since come to be more common for girls. In some cases it may be thought of as a short form of LINDA or names that end in lyn or line.

 

I am a lake guided by truth :3
