My parents always called me Tammy, though, which means “perfection”.
Lea–it varies by source, but it’s usually listed either as a feminized version of Lee, which means a sheltered spot. Other places list it as a Middle English word for a meadow or glade.
First name is an ancient Greek city and means “footsoldier”. Middle name means “from the sun” or “wise protector”. Last name means “from the valley of the curly brown haired people”. Curious, since I do in fact have brown hair that starts to curl if it gets too long.
My son’s name translates well. First name is Hebrew and middle name is Greek. It translates as “A king given by God”.
Daughter’s name is Hindu and Irish. Translates to “Fairy Mother”.
It can arguably be from a number of sources (see Tamarin’s post), but the only official one I’ve found in my lifetime is:
from Greek, meaning “the wanderer,” original spelling Wendelin
I was supposed to be a “Nikola” whether I was a boy or a girl, after Nikola Tesla - my dad’s a Tesla expert and you guys have NO IDEA how much I had to restrain myself from entering into the raging “1920’s Style Death-Rays” debate-!!! Guess mom got her way, though.
