My Mommy named me after her Mommy (my grandmother) Jeanne.
I also think my Mommy wanted to have a french baby.
Why else would name your baby Jeanne Louise?

Jeanne is actually an old French/Scottish feminine version of John. What we call 'Joan of Arc' is actually spelled in French 'Jeanne D' Arc'. I was also told that 'Jeanne' also means 'one who spends too much time online', but I can't confirm that.

Louise is just French for arrogant chain-smoker... I think. Again it's just a feminine version of a mans name Louis. I could have been dealt much worse in the name game. I guess I should count my lucky stars and my French loving Mommy.

I looked it up long ago and discovered that, Stephen Oliver Rogers means "Peaceful Warrior King!"
How awesome is THAT???

Stephen = Crowned or King
Oliver = Olive tree, symbol of peace
Rogers = Famous Spear or Warrior

Hmmm... makes me think of someone heroic:

My name is Mark and I am from Mars

For me personally my name means "Compromise" which might or might not conflict with actual etymological, historical, or other previously determined meanings for this name.

My father wanted to name me ''Marcus" and he called me by that name every time he ever addressed me BUT before I was born he and my mother had the discussion on names for me and like I said dad wanted the name "Marcus" for his first born son but mom wanted a name that could not be shortened to a nickname.

That is where "compromise" comes into play. Mom and Dad decide on "Mark" as my name in a compromise because it was agreed upon that if I had been named "Marcus" I would eventually get the nickname "Mark" so I get the first name"Mark" and despite that being my official name on the birth certificate and everything dad never once in my memory calls me by that name... I was always "Marcus" to him

Larry Vincent Poupard

Larry is short for Laurence, which means, "Laurel crowned," or "Winner."

Vincent is a French name that comes from the Latin word, "Vincentius." This translates to, "To conquer."

Poupard is also French, and comes from the word, "poupee." Poupard translated into English means, "Puppet master," or, "Doll maker." If you translate it into Hebrew, it mean, "Methuselah." He was one of the sons of Cain who supposedly (to myth) is still alive today and pulls the strings of the world's governments.

So, in translation, my name means either, "To successfully conquer with dolls," "The supreme conquering puppet master," or "To win after conquering the dolls."

Msmuffintop means I'm in my forties and I got the little bump in my pants that overflows at the waist ;)

My name means "reborn warrior woman," depending upon which name origins dictionary that you use.

Kelli= "warrior woman"

The name Kelli has Gaelic origins, which can be attributed to both Ireland and Scotland. Traditionally, the male version of the name was spelled with a y, and the female version was spelled with an i, but I see a lot more women with the name Kelly (spelled with a y) today than men.

Rene= "reborn"

The word is actually French. In this case, I got the male spelling of the name.

I was named after two of my mom's friends in high school. My mother was fifteen when she had me, and my father was sixteen. My mother likes to tell a story about the my dad later cheating with her two best friends that she named me after. I do know that at least half of that story is true, which is another reason why teens should use protection.

my fist name means man and my lastname origins are This interesting surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and is locational from any of the minor places so called, such as Buckleigh in Abbotsham in Devonshire, Buckley Heath in Sussex, or Buckley Green in Warwickshire. Most of these placenames derive from the Olde English pre 7th Century "bucc(a)", meaning a he-goat, plus "leah" a clearing or wood. However, several instances of Buckley and Buckleigh in Devon derive from "boga", bow, plus "clif", cliff. In Ireland, the surname is found as an Anglicized form of the Gaelic "O'Buachalla", composed of the elements "O" meaning descendant of, plus "Buachaill", a byname meaning cowherd or servant. The surname is first recorded in the early half of the 13th Century (see below), and other early recordings include: William de Bockeleye, noted in the Subsidy Rolls of Warwickshire in 1332, and John Buckley, who appeared in the 1545 Subsidy Rolls of Wiltshire. In the modern idiom the surname has many variant spellings including Bucklee and Buckleigh. Among the earliest of the namebearers to settle in the New World Colonies were Ben Buckley, aged 11 yrs., and Daniell Buckley, aged 9 yrs., who departed from the port of London aboard the "Suzan and Ellin" bound for New England, in April 1635. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Alan de Buckeleg, which was dated 1235, in the "Feet of Fines of Warwickshire", during the reign of King Henry 111, known as "The Frenchman", 1216 - 1272. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

From research carried out by my uncle in 1963, in association with Genealogical Quarterly magazine, we have slightly different origins for the Buckley surname.

In 1963, GQ reported to William Buckley, my uncle:

“The heraldry of Buckley is very complicated because of its identification with Bulkeley. It seems that all forms of the name derive from Robert Bulclogh, the first Lord Bulkeley of Bulkeley, Cheshire. Even the Buckleys in Kent have arms that obviously derive from the main grant to Buckley or Bulkeley in Cheshire. It is difficult to say to which of the several coats-of-arms detailed in our Spring 1962 you may be entitled. …”

From this and subsequent searches, we reached the following conclusions for the origin of our surname:

"Buckley is an anglo-saxon name, with its origin most likely in Bulkeley in Cheshire, England. It comes from the Old English:

• Bucca – a stag (buck) or a he-goat
• Leah - meadow, field, tract of open ground (lea)

“The people from the stag’s meadow”

It seems that all variants of the modern Buckley surname, worldwide, derive from Robert de Bulclogh, the first Lord Bulkeley of Bulkeley in Cheshire about the year 1200. De Bulclogh was granted a Coat of Arms, consisting of a shield denoting preparedness, peace and sincerity and a crest denoting valour and benevolence. The Buckley motto is “Nec Temere Nec Timide”, which means “Neither Rashly nor Timidly”.
"

You should note that as well as Bulkeley (pronounced Byew-klee) in Cheshire, there are several places in the North West of England and North Wales called “Buckley" – See especially Buckley in Rochdale and Bwcle in N.Wales.

I have not come across references to any Buckleys prior to Robert de Bulclogh – but of course I am always open to new information.

Great question @haleybree!

My name is Valerie, which means "strong, healthy". I don't know how true that is. Sometimes I don't feel very strong, and other times I am. Have to be pretty strong I guess, I am still kicking haha.

I am not going to post my last name for the sake of internet freaks, but I will say it does have some religious meaning. Kind of more so to be watched over by a religious person. It feels nice to be watched over, maybe that is why I am still kicking.

I actually like my first name because it isn't over saturated. In school, I was actually the only one. It was great when someone said your first name and you knew they were talking about you. Then again, if it was bad you couldn't assume it was another Valerie haha.

I'll skip my first name, since its plain and boring, so I can tell you about my last name (and keep my full name not posted on the internet, not going to find many with my full name, haha)

My last name is Heffernan. Until recently I never really knew what that meant. I used to joke with my friends and say my ancestors must have been cow farmers. I recently sat with my father and his Mother and talked about my family history. My great grandfather, came to America on a ship from Ireland. This is where our name was changed. No one is quite sure what it used to be, we don't have any doc*ments or anything of the sort. But I was able to with a little determine where we might have come from, and it appears someone already did a lot of work for me. If you go to http://www.heffernan.org/, I do believe this is the clan I descended from, it would make a lot of sense with the timing and the part of Ireland I'm from.

I guess to make this boring story short:

Patrick Heffernan M.D determined that the most likely original definition for our last name would be "Lord of horses" Which the roots would be: " Ua h Ifearn"

I do enjoy the final passage on the site though:

Final meaning?
The last suggested derivation of the name is from the Graeco-Latin "Hivernen", a late variant of "lerne" or "Hibernia". Dr. Oliver Gogarty quotes Claudian, "the poet of the decline": " . . . Totam c*m Scottus Hivernen Movit et infesto spumavit remige Tethys." "When the Gael disturbed the whole of Ireland, and Ocean boiled beneath the onset of his oars." According to this view the Ua h Ifearn are the grandchildren of Ireland.

My name is Christopher, but my greek (native) name is christoforos, which means finder of God! that sounds cool to me!

Well my name is Ali Haider. It is an Arabic name. 'Ali' means loin and 'Haider' means brave..
