My right name means 'a hill' in Irish gaelic. However my .org name means 'thumper of tubs'.
Personally I prefer the latter as I have no idea what the first means.

The meaning of the name Robin is Bright Fame
The origin of the name Robin is English
My first name is from greek and means pearl and my second, the one I use is a variant of one of hebrew derivation and means grace.
And anyone less like a graceful pearl I have yet to meet! :eek:

Thanks Porshie I now know what my name means.
My first name is from the Italian for 'lady', and my middle name is Irish and means 'shining' or 'radiant'...and my online name uses elements from the spelling of both of those and means 'the pathway to the stars'. :)

Your parents must have been very astute as that describes you almost to a T...LOL!
My name means "of the sea"...pretty bad choice on my parents behalf as I am a pretty rubbish swimmer...
My name means Victory too.
Named after a wee bushy flower, not even a foreign exotic one, thanks Mum [lol] !
Don't use my first name, think my parents had a problem when they named myself and my two sisters, Joy, Felicity and Faith.....could have been worse, might have been Faith,Hope and Charity!
The second name that I do use is of biblical origin and means, the one that walks tall.
My daughter is called Kerenza which translates from the celtic as, "The child that is loved."

The wife's name translates from the old Roman as "She, whose bosoms defy gravity".

Realise we lumbered the girls with first names meaning "industrious & eager" and "noble & exalted" . Deary me! :eek:
My son's first name means "twin" and his middle name means "farmer" -strange, since he isn't a twin, and hasn't turned out to be a farmer either....:roll:

My first name means "farmer" and my second means I am a teuchter from Caithness! Sort of redundant actually...
Actually Brims comes from an old Norse word 'brimmis' meaning the white foam on a wave. Any place with that name might be a good spot to surf - the proof being this year's O'Neill Highland Open!

A recently created name, probably intended to mean "good spear" from Welsh rhon "spear" and da "good", but possibly influenced by the name of the Rhondda Valley in South Wales, which means "noisy".
hmm don't know which I would like to be: spearlike / good / or just noisy.
WBG do NOT answer this one!!! It is a loooooong walk from the airport to my house!!!
I think I like the definition of my org name better:
From Scottish Mael Coluim which means "disciple of Saint COLUMBA"...

Oh Malcolmdog, you don't want to go with "disciple of St. Columba". I tried that for 3 months and it nearly killed me. Stick with Rhonda the good.
