What does YOUR name mean?
I just thought this was very cool. Forever, I beleived that American/English names didn't mean anything. Aparently, I am totally wrong. On BehindtheName.com, I found that:
Spencer - means "dispenser of provisions" in Old French
Evan - Actually comes from the Welsh form of John. So my middle name is really John, which ultimately can be traced all the way back to the Hebrew name that means "Yahweh is gracious."
Frances - comes from the Latin word Franciscus, which means "Frenchman!" Mom, that is funny.
Thomas - Besides being heavily Catholic, it's earliest origin can be traced to the Greek form of the Aramaic name for "twin."
Samuel - From the hebrew word for "name of God" or "God has heard." Whoever has this name is a big, fat Jew.
Meghan - Welsh pet name for Margaret (go Irish), which comes from the Greek word for "pearl"
I could spend all day doing this, but I thought that some of you might be interested. Again, the link is in my links section.
