Looks like that site only has female names. The closest I could come was: Davine : dah-VEEN : hebrew "the loved" I've always knows that my name 'David' means beloved, so the female counterpart would mean the same thing. JIL, I love that song! :) |

Hate to spoil the party but the Chinese wouldn't give you a straight translation of your name. Mine is taken from my surname and then my first name but it isn't totally a translation. I have two different ones done at the same time. They were done by a Chinese who looked at the phonetics of the name to come out with the correct one. |

Surname is first and the other thing which is strange to us westerners is that a wife doesn't have the same surname as her husband or her parents necessarily. At least it is better than having to be given a Thai name. It has to be unique they have a register to make sure nobody has used it before, and if memory serves me correct it has to be at least 20 plus letters. They all use nicknames. |

Jil, I can't begin to tell you how exciting this thread you started is. When I was on eDiets, I had a book of Christian meaning names. Painstakingly I got way backed up as the requests came in for their lifetime Scriptures and meaning for self, children, spouse and all. Even non Christians wanted to know. I had to type out all the answers. LOL I can't believe I did it and I can't believe what it is a kick from you doing the Chinese for us. It is just downright fun! Thanks. Here is something from Bella to think about. Lynne Chapman BellaOnline's Christian Living Editor What's In A Name ? Looking around in the schools today or scanning the birth announcements in the newspaper, I find that parents name their children after favorite relatives, ancestors, fictional characters, movie and soap stars, and geographical locations. Some names seem to be uniquely created for the child, possibly because of the sound or melodic ring of it. All are valid sources as it is every parent’s right and joy to name their baby. What have you or will you name your child? Does that name represent your dreams and hopes of the kind of person he will be as he grows? Keep in mind that it is something that should be taken very seriously since the name will be with the offspring for a lifetime. What does the Bible tell us? In biblical times, the giving of a name always meant to describe the person’s true character. God’s inspiration was the predominant source of naming one’s descendents and sometimes God, Himself, even changed a name when a change in character occurred. For instance, Jacob, from birth, was a schemer. His name means “the supplanter” (One who takes the place of another through force or scheming.) When his selfish spirit was broken and he became a man God could use, God changed his name to Israel, meaning “God struggles or one who struggles with God” His descendents became the nation of Israel. (Read his story in Genesis 25:19-34, and chapters 27 through 35.) Genesis 32:28 “ Your name will no longer be Jacob, ” the man told him. “ It is now Israel, because you have struggled with both God and men and have won. “ Jesus changed His disciple Peter’s name because He could see into his heart and into his future. John 1:42 Then Andrew brought Simon to meet Jesus. Looking intently at Simon, Jesus said, “ You are Simon, the son of John—but you will be called Cephas ” (which means Peter ). Peter and Cephas both mean “rock.” God knows His followers by name, in a very personal relationship. Isaiah 43:1 But now, O Israel, the LORD who created you says: “ Do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are mine. Revelation 3:5 All who are victorious will be clothed in white. I will never erase their names from the Book of Life, but I will announce before my Father and his angels that they are mine. So perhaps, when deciding on a name for a future offspring, you may want to spend some time in prayer. God knows who your child is and may give you that inspiration. If your time of naming children is past, and you did not ask for God’s guidance, don’t despair, for in the eternal view of things, God knows our names. Revelation 2:17b And I will give to each one a white stone, and on the stone will be engraved a new name that no one knows except the one who receives it. |

Now, here is a challenge for you all...my wonderful wife has an unusual name -- Fayrda. Recently a customer came into Dollar General, looked at her name tag and pronounced it perfectly. This is very unusual, but the man said he was from Russia and her name is the Russian word for 'unique'. We've never really been able to find an actual meaning for her name. Her great-grandmother had read the name in a book, named her grandmother Fayrda and her dad wanted to carry on the tradition as he only had one brother. So, if anyone want a research challenge, see if you can find the meaning of the name 'Fayrda'. Better yet, JIL, find her name in Chinese! :loll: This is a great thread. :) |

Traditional Chinese was read from top to bottom. Because of the so many dialect they made it into Mandarin which is Beijing Putonang (sp?) which is supposed to be the universal language here. It is now a simplified form (you only need around 12000 characters to be able to read a newspaper and grasp basically what is written or 20000 characters to read a book) and it is from left to right. The characters are different because they have been simplified. JIL don't expect me to read your names, I can't read Chinese except a few characters and I would need the pinyin to know what they said, and even then who knows what you might get |

Divine Inspiration: Biblical Baby Names Biblical baby names are both popular and historical! Check out why so many parents are turning to the Bible for naming inspiration. By Danielle Ryan Why Are Biblical Names So Popular? What do Robert De Niro, Annette Bening, and U2 singer Bono all have in common? Other than their sizable bank accounts and famous mugs, they also all share the distinction of being celebrity parents who've bestowed Biblical names upon their children (Aaron, Benjamin, and Eve, respectively). For the past few years, biblical baby names have become increasingly popular for the first time in a long while -- in fact, the origin of nine out of the top 10 boys' names in 2004 can be easily traced to the Bible. Not a surprising fact, considering all of the controversy in recent years surrounding the publication of The Da Vinci Code, the emergence of intelligent design theory, the ever-shrinking gap between Church and State in the U.S., the "What Would Jesus Drive?" and "Where Would Jesus Shop?" campaigns, and the battle over "holiday" trees… Trendy versus Traditional Names The tradition of using biblical names here in the United States can be traced to the Puritans, who eschewed Old English names associated with the Church of England in favor of names chosen directly from the Bible. Although trendy, non-biblical names like Madison and Tyler have been on the top baby names lists for several years now, biblical names never really went out of style. Why? Well, in theory, it makes sense to see people turning to a spiritual resource like the Bible for naming their babies when the world seems to be so topsy-turvy. Giving one's child a traditional, biblical name infused with spiritual significance can be a source of comfort in a crazy world -- even for those not inclined to consider themselves to be 'religious' people. Saying or hearing such a name can evoke warm thoughts and security. After several years' worth of perfectly lovely, albeit trendy, names holding court on the top 10 names list, monikers such as Tyler, Austin, Taylor, and Ashley fell from grace toward the end of the 90s. They were replaced by more traditional names with biblical origins, such as Ethan and Abigail in the year 2001 (and they're still on the top 10 list today.) And biblical baby names appear to be much more popular for boys; only three out of the top 10 baby names for girls in 2004 were Bible-based. And just like any other trend these days, celebrities are in on this one, too. From Aaron to Zion, celebs have laid their claim to biblical monikers. For example, Larry Mullen Jr. of U2 named his first son Aaron Elvis. Gabriel was a popular choice for Seinfeld star Jason Alexander, Mick Jagger, and Mia Farrow, each of whom has a son with that angelic name. Rockers Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day fame and Jon Bon Jovi both named a son Jacob. John has also proven to be a biblical name popular with celebs -- Bono, Tracey Ullman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Rob Lowe, Jane Seymour, and singer Lauren Hill all have sons by that name. Hill also has a son named Zion David. Why Choose a Biblical Name? As far as biblical baby names are concerned, though, it seems fair to ask, "What's in a name?" Do parents of modern-day biblically named children choose those monikers for their spiritual significance, the way they roll off the tongue, or the way they sound with dad's last name? Is Abigail currently listed as the sixth most popular girl's name because it's such a pretty name, or because it means "my father's joy"? Or a combination of the two? Of course, everyone has his or her own interpretation of how and why to choose a name. Determined to find a name for their child that was striking and unusual, yet meaningful, Jake and Mona Levich of Queens, New York, took a page from the Bible and named their son Moses -- a recognizable but unique name, to be certain. For the most part, though, parents who choose biblical names for their children use more traditional monikers like Jacob (currently ranked #1 on the boys' list), Hannah (#5 for girls), or Joseph (at boys' #9). The Story and Meaning Behind the Name Biblical names are imbued with spiritual significance because they're part of fascinating stories from the Bible that often highlight the best of what man or woman can offer the world. Think of the name Noah (#29 in 2004), for example, and the biblical story associated with Noah and his ark. God considered Noah to be a pure man in a world of sinners. For this reason, he alone was chosen to build the ark that would protect him, his family, and his animals from the deadly floodwaters that God was going to unleash upon the world with 40 days and 40 nights of rain. Appropriately enough, given the background of the name, Noah is said to mean "peace" or "comfort." My husband and I chose the name Noah because we love the sound of it, but we also loved the meaning of the name and the positive spiritual association people have with it. And while the name Moses may not be on the top 10 list anytime soon (it was listed at #512 in 2004, in fact), Moses' role in the Bible is that of a brave revolutionary who led a revolt against an oppressive regime that enslaved his people -- which was part of the name's attractiveness to our modern-day Moses' parents. Biblical Names for Girls Care to guess what was the most biblically popular name of all time here in the United States? Mary. The name of Jesus' virgin mother was ranked at number one from 1900 to 1959, at which time it fell to second place and stayed there until 1969 when it slipped to number 15. These days, it's ranked at number 63. This name is strongly associated with femininity, motherhood, and purity; it's also the most recognizable female name from the Bible other than Eve (which is currently ranked at #614). Hannah, Abigail, and Elizabeth -- the three biblically based female names currently inhabiting spots 5, 6, and 10, respectively, on 2004's top 10 list are not necessarily identifiably Biblical even if they are euphonious (pleasant-sounding). Hannah was the name of Samuel the Prophet's mother in the Old Testament. Hannah is also the name of Mel Gibson's only daughter, as well as Tom Selleck's only daughter. Jessica Lange preferred the name minus its final 'H' for her daughter, Hanna. Abigail also hails from the Old Testament, where she appeared as a wife of King David. Elizabeth is a New Testament name -- she was John the Baptist's mother. Actor Tom Hanks and then-wife Samantha Lewes chose it for their daughter, and more recently, actor Sean Astin of Lord of the Rings fame also gave the name to his second daughter, Elizabeth Louise. Biblical Names for Boys Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Matthew, Ethan, Andrew, Daniel, Joseph, and Christopher comprise the nine names from 2004's top 10 list for boys that are Biblical in nature. What role, you may wonder, do these names play in the Bible? Here's a little background on a few of them: Michael was an archangel. Recently, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas chose it for the middle name of their son, Dylan Michael, as did Bridget Jones's Diary author Helen Fielding's for hers, Dashiell Michael. Saved by the Bell and NYPD Blue star Mark-Paul Gosselaar also selected it for the first name his son, Michael Charles. Ethan was a wise man in the Old Testament. Andrew was the brother of the apostle Simon Peter in the New Testament. Joseph was married to Mary, the mother of Jesus. Rocker Sting and ex-wife Frances Tomelty chose the name for their son. Christopher, whose name means "Christ bearer," carried young Jesus across a river. Fans of the name Christopher include California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and wife Maria Shriver who named their son Christopher Sargent Shriver, as well as action star Jean-Claude Van Damme whose son is named Kristopher. Biblical names have most certainly withstood the test of time. For centuries, parents-to-be have turned to the Bible for divine baby-naming inspiration. Will you?

My name Beverley means "from the beaver meadow" in Old English. She is energetic and happy kindhearted and loving and always on the go. You might be wondering why I was given this name, was it a family name? No I was named after a famous American yep, American actor. Please note you name your Welsh daughter after an American male. |

editor, I've always wondered if when Adam "named" the animals if he called them dog, cat, elephant, worm, etc. OR (here's what I believe) he looked at them, told them what their "personality" would be like and also set in motion the food chain. I don't know Hebrew enough to know what it involved, but it's interesting to ponder the intelligence of man prior to the fall. Here's my name: Deborah : DEB-uh-ruh - DEB-ra : hebrew "a bee" I was named after the Biblical judge and Mom often called me a "busy bee" (she knew the meaning of the Biblical name) because I was always into everything and kept her on her toes. My sons are: Mark Orion: Mark is Latin for Warlike; Orion is Latin/Greek for dawn, east; son of fire, the hunter. Justin Harold: Justin is Latin for Just; Harold is Anglo Saxon for Power Orion is a family name: my father's first name, my son's middle name and my grandson's first name. (they are uncle and nephew) My father and son pronounce it (or E on) which is the Bohemian pronounciation; my grandson is the traditional pronounciation of O ri on (O' Ryan). Grandbaby Orion's little sister is Saturn. Debbie |
