We visitied the care facility Dan works at last week and one of the residents commented how much she liked Malcolm's name. "It's very strong, masculine," she said. That got me thinking.
What's in a name?
What's the meaning of your name? Do you know? Does it fit you?
My name: Jennifer
Origin: Welsh, Celtic
Meaning: pure white, white wave, fair, smooth
Variants: Gennifer, Jenny, Guinevere
Does it fit me? I'd like to think I'm fair and pretty "smooth", but you be the judge. I am pretty white (hee hee). But interesting to note my fascination with the Arthurian legend and all things Celtic. Hmmm.... would this Jenny by any other name be who she is?
Who are you? Tell me if your name "fits".
The meaning of the name Emily is To Strive Or Excel Or Rival
ReplyDeleteThe origin of the name Emily is English
Alternate spellings: Emilee, Emmalie, Emely, Emili
Notes: English form of the Latin name Aemilia. From the same root as the name Amelia.
