What Does Your Name Mean?

[Dana (129173078)]

I always find the meaning of names so interesting. Especially from cultures outside of my own. What does your name mean?

[Richford (3429282)]

My real name is Alexis. There is no deep meaning behind it. It’s just a name my parents seemed to like. I was going to be named Diego, though at some point they changed their minds before I was born.

Well Alexis is an awesome name. It’s also Greek and means ‘Defender of Men’ which makes it even cooler!

My name is Isabell

Isabell means “my God is an oath” (from Hebrew “elischeba), but also “beautiful” (from French “belle”).

A longer explantion of the name is:

Isabell is the German form of Isabel, a name which developed in the Middle Ages as a Provençal form of Elizabeth. Originally Isabel was used primarily among the French, Spanish and Portuguese (although the Spanish and Portuguese used the Latinate form Isabela with an “a”). The name gained widespread appeal among all Europeans by the 13th century thanks to a well-known French noblewoman, Isabella of Angoulême, who was betrothed to King John of England in 1200 (at the ripe old age of 12!). Not only did Isabella hold the lofty position of Queen Consort of England, but she was also the mother to another future king, Henry III of England. Another namesake was Isabella of France (daughter of King Philip IV of France). As a girl of twelve (again!), this Isabella was also sent to England to marry King Edward II in the early 14th century (who she would eventually have deposed and murdered, consequently earning her the sobriquet “She-wolf of France”). Another illustrious medieval Isabella was the 15th century Queen of Castile and León who famously financed Christopher Columbus’ 1492 voyage to the New World. See historic references on the Isabella page for more information on these memorable medieval Isabellas. While the name Elizabeth has maintained widespread popularity thanks to the Biblical reference, the forms of Isabel, Isabell, Isabelle, Isabela and Isabella were largely popularized by European royalty in the Middle Ages (the name is actually Ysabel in Old Spanish). All of the “Isabel” names can find their root origin in the Hebrew "Elisheba", which means "God is my oath". Elisheba/Elizabeth shows up in Exodus as the wife of Aaron (the older brother of Moses and the first High Priest of Israel). Separately, another Biblical Elizabeth appears in the New Testament (herself a descendent of Aaron) as the mother of John the Baptist. See the name Elizabeth for more detail. Through centuries of movement through various geographies, cultures and languages, Isabel is yet another derivation of Elisheba. The German spelling of Isabell is popular in Germany, but also well-used in the Scandinavian countries of Norway and Sweden. Diminutives include Isa, Izzy, Bell and Bella.

[Denna (10205906)]

My real name means The Sea
My family and my friends call me Dena and I like both. It is not common name where I come from... For example, in 1990 there were only 3 of us with that name in city where I was born and it is big city with 120 thousand people...One is named after me
So many people asked me how my parents gave me that name. It was from some movie they watched and they liked it.They said If baby was boy, name would be Edwin (after one of astronauts Apollo 11 that year).

I like your name Dana In the country where I was born, we have name Dana too. Dan means Day... Dana is name for a girl and Danko is name for a boy.
