mega thread Why you chose your user name.

Well, my first name: Nicholas is Greek (if im not mistaken or Irish).  It means Victory for myself and Victory for the People. (TBH, I didn't know about that, until I realize that with my ambitious personality, I always thinking about winning and yes, like Rainbow Dash, I HATE losing).  It is also the name of St. Nicholas, most commonly known as Santa Claus.  He is the Saint of Giving/Generosity, blessing of the Children, and Sailors.

 

My last name: Rojas, dates back to the time of the Romans (which is pretty cool).  In fact, (for you Kingdom Hearts fans), alongside Rojas, my other last name from the 14th century was Roxas. Now that...........surprised the hell out of me, but i found it in family records over in Spain, dating back to 230 A.D.............yes, 230 A.D.  Don't ask how, b/c I truly don't know how.

Mine means young warrior in Celtic, and stone in Hebrew. Pretty solid overall. Jokes aside, Evan also means john in English.

Derived from the Latin "humble". Not exactly fitting in my case. 

[ChoroChii 284]

My name is Ashley and it means ash tree. xD

[long gone 8,929]

My name, Thomas (although I prefer Tom), refers to an apostle who did not believe in the resurrection of Jesus. Which I find a bit funny because I'm atheist.

[Revertz 159]

Can't argue with that!

[Nameless Knight 1,001]

Mine is Greek for three things: Strong, Manly, Brave

 

Manly is kind of Ironic because I watch a show about ponies....

[Lagom 204]

Ehhh in French it means small and feminine, and in English it means free man.

[~Sugar Sprinkles~ 638]

I looked my name up long ago and my real name is Samantha. Samantha means listener (Which I am the complete opposite). 

[tehAgg 268]

My first name (Jonah) means Dove.

[deadprofile 1,123]

Theresa....it means reaper. It's a greek name.

 

Pretty bada** if I do say so myself...the meaning is the only redemptive quality to my name (otherwise it's too girly for my taste)

[~Silver Essence~ 2,625]

My name is derived as a king type ordeal name from many eras ago.

 

It's also nice to see that it's natural origin's meaning is both a beloved or friend type name.

Aaron is Hebrew for "exalted mountain."

[Frostgage 7,978]

Jack apparently means "God is Gracious" which doesn't really fit because I'm not religious. Oh well.

[Oblivion 20,279]

The name Cody is actually Irish and means "Helpful" which is kinda cool cause I actually do like helping people!

Just Googled it: 

 

"Derek is a male name. It is the English language short form of Dederik, the Low German form of the name Theodoric. Theodoric is an old Germanic name with an original meaning of "people-ruler"

 

As for my last name...I'm not entirely sure. But apparently it's French?

 

[SparklingSwirls 21,376]

I googled my name and apparently it means "God is Gracious". Now that I think about it, a lot of names tend to mean that...

[iDeltaVelocity 110]

Googled it. "Brian" is apparently an Irish name meaning high or nobility. 

 

I love my name

[Hawk Moth 390]

Jonathan. It comes from the Hebrew הוֹנָתָן and means "God has given" or "Gift of God". It's too long for my taste, and I've always thought it sounded dorky, so I usually go by Jon, hoping people will think that my name is John, instead.
