ANAHITA or (NAHID) is the name of goddess of fertility. In ancient Persia it was believed that She is the source of all waters, upon the earth, fertility, purifying, the seed of all males.
Yes, this is my real name. It’s wonderful and I love the meaning, what does your name mean?
As I’ve said before, I got Cal Meacham from the way-brainy scientist hero in This Island Earth. In the movie he’s played by tall, dark, handsome, deep-voiced Rex Reason (isn’t that the perfect name for an actor playing a charismatic scientist?)I only wish I lookec like him. Of course, the movie is also incredibly dumb, so I tell everyone I took the name from Raymond F. Jones’ original book, a nifty piece of well-written SF that was, on the whole, tossed out.
My Real Life Name, if you translate the different parts from their original languages, means “Crowned Wolf”.
my screenname is a bastardization of sephiroth, though that’s not what i think of when i say ‘saepiroth’. saepiroth makes me think of the ‘other’ checkbox in a world split between omnicient, omnipotent beings of good and evil.
sort of the omnicient, omnipotent incarnation of pure neutrality.
though, to most other people, it means “hey! you like FF7, right?”.
my real name, David, comes from a hebrew word meaning “Beloved”.
My username is ‘cause I’m a chick and I like racin’.
My real name, Jennifer Lee (yeah, that’s supposed to be my first name, although officially Lee is my middle name because the nurse wrote it so on the birth certificate), means “the fair one from the field” or some such. (Jenn=“fair one” Lee=“field” I think)
username-it’s all about Gizmo…and that 22 is a reaccuring number in my life.
real name- Warrior Maiden of the Woods…including my middle name it would be Warrior Maiden of the Woods in the grace of god…but I don’t swing that way.
Kristin, german deriv. of christina, fem of Christian, meaning Christian. OR Kristin, greek, deriv of Kristen, meaning follower of christ.
Alexandra, fem of ALEXANDER (m) From the Greek name Alexandros, which meant “defending men” from Greek alexein “to defend, help” and aner “man” (genitive andros).
OR Alexandra, fem of ALEXANDER, helper and defender of mankind
So, I am the Christian defender of mankind. That’s a lot of pressure to put on a kid!
My nick means nasty female reptile thing which may not taste so good if you bite it.
My IRL name is Alex. I was named after both Alex Johnson, a ball player for the Cleveland Indians when I was born, and Li’l Alex from A Clockwork Orange.
think: to have a certain thing as the subject of one’s thoughts or to call something to ones conscious mind.
snow: percipitation in the form of hexagonal cyrstal of ice.
I friggin’ love snow. I love skiing, I love boarding, I love jumping out of a hot-tub and making snowangels. I don’t even mind shoveling it (w/in reason) because that means there is a lot of the stuff around, which makes me happy.
Melissa, Greek, honey bee. (Explains my oh-so-sweet nature, hm?) I think it’s a pretty name, but most Melissa’s I’ve ever met are total bitches. -shrug-
My first name means nothing, since its invented. Or maybe it means 1/3 of what each of the 3 names where it came from mean. Or just means beautiful goddess of lazyness .
My user name: A play of words with my first name(sounds vaguely similar), and my last name in German(instead of Spanish). Oddly, it ended up being my dad first and last name in German.
Oh, Searching, Melissa is a pretty name, and I’m sure you are far from being a total bitch.
And all along I thought Anahita was Hirohito’s wife. I learn something every day.
Sailor means person who likes to screw mermaids or anything that moves and who lacks the imagination to find a more subtle screen name or even just a long one which would mess up people’s screens.
According to some of the baby name sites on the net, my name means Feminine Goddess of Canoe Makers. I mean, really. Canoe makers. What kind of person wants to give their child a name meaning Canoe Maker??
However, I believe that is wrong. The name responsible for the whole canoe thing is Leanne, which some baby name sites peg as originally Hawaiian, but that overlooks the totally obvious fact that Lea means field in English! My Australian-born parents of English heritage are unlikely to have chosen a name that is Hawaiian when that name appears in their own language. Which means that if you take my first name (Carol, meaning variously joyous melody or feminine (or manly according to one site)), and Lea plus Anne, you get Joyous Song of the Graceful Meadow, which is bizarre but prettier than Canoe Maker’s Goddess.
Searching, my sweet little sister-in-law is named Melissa. I thought Honey Bee was appropriate for her because she’s sweet and industrious, hard working, doesn’t complain and is a social little thing
[sub]BTW, the username meaning was something I just found out, and while I’d like to think it’s an apt description, I have no delusions. I merely bask in the glory of the intelligence of the SD crowd.
