Niklas Anderson Niklas. Derivative of the greek words Nike and Laos, Victory of the People. Anderson. Son of Anders/Andrew. Andrew is derived from the greek Andreas, meaning Man or Manly. Victory of the People who are Sons of Man… Toss out the ‘people’ as being redundant… Henceforth, I am to be known as Victory of the Sons of Man. Has a nice ring to it. 😃 What are your translated names? ---

Mine would give my real name away, but I think you’ll find that Nike is made in Vietnam, not Laos. 😃 ---

I’m just happy my folks weren’t hippies. My first and middle names come out to Morning Light. My maiden name is German for a certain condiment that, come to think of it, is also sometimes yellow. ---

My first name means “bee” in Hebrew. My middle name doesn’t track- it’s the name of a small town and a river in Scotland. Hubby’s mean “Eternal Ruler, Follower of Christ.” First part is funny, but the second is truly hilarious! ---
