WHAT’S IN A NAME?
Posted by: Mrs Justin on: July 25, 2008
Shakespeare may have believed “a rose by any other name would smell as sweet” (Romeo & Juliet) but how can a name be just a name when you use it your entire lifetime? Do you know the origin or meaning of your name? Why did you parents give you the name you have? The link below may help you with your orgin search. Happy learning!

August 1, 2008 at 8:25 am
My apologies to those of you whose names aren’t reflected on the website. Hmm…but you could take a little initiative like Gurkiren and find out what your name means on your own. I reckon that Mum and Dad would be great to start your “research”…..

Hi Ms George,
i just checked my name and it means that I am pre- eminence.(may i know what does this mean) My mother once told me that my name means gladness and abundance, thats why i am not sure which one is true. The origin of my name is Hebrew, and it is the female of Jethro. Anyway, i am surprise to find my name appear on the website as i thought that my name is special. Just to let you know, my father’s name (Jimmy)means supplander but i cannot find my mother’s name.
Cheers ,
jethra
