Default What is the meaning of your name?

Okay first I hope I put this on the right place and something like this doesn't exist already

so I was looking for the meaning of my name.. and a friend too. her name is lotte and the story behind her name is pretty cool It's the shorter version of Charlotte, what is derived from Charles. What means free man (not someone from noble birth) or fellow. The first name Charlotte was given for first in the 17e century at Charlotte of Savoye, the wife of Lodewijk XI. The first name Charlotte was given also at the first princess of Belgium. Charlotte of Saksen Coburg-Gotha. Lotte is also in the German book "Die Leiden des Jungen Werther" of Goethe (1774). Thanks to this book became the first name Lotte lots popularly.


and then comes my name

Wietske
Shortened form of names with the Germanic tribe "Wîg" (fight), "Widu" (forest, woods) or "Wîdha" (wide, far)

Why I got this name becauseI was called after my grandfathers Wim and Get
Wim the first 2 letters are in my first name, Get the first 2 letters are in my second name Gerlinde Spear and shield of linden wood

so now I want to know, what is the meaning of you name and why did you get that name?

^ hey, what are your guys' names haha?

my name is Melinda.. i looked it up on wikipedia and it says: "Mel" can be derived from names such as Melanie meaning "dark, black" in Greek or from Melissa meaning "honey bee" in Greek. It is also associated with the Greek word meli meaning "honey" and with Linda meaning "gentle, soft, tender" in Germanic[2]

My mom named me after a character in a movie (Cant remember the title!) whose name was Lenny and she thought that could be a nickname for Melinda... she never ended up calling me that though!

I didn't know where I had to find the meaning of my name, so I'll use the information of my parents;

My name is Manli. It's a Chinese name en it means 'Many flowers.'

All my 3 sisters have got 'Man..' in the names.
It means 'many/much'.
Like the name of one of my sisters; Manhe.
Man » much.
he » hope.
Manhe » Much hope.

^^

My name (Roosa) is color.
I guess it's like purple-ish pink or something, or color of rose. The word isn't so used though! I only see it in things relating clothing or make-up colors, lol.
And it's some kind of pink always.

And it's pretty close to word rose too.

And my last name is Swedish and it means branch of rose even though roses don't have branches.

Roses everywhere lol.

I don`t think Kimmie really has a meaning! =( It`s really uncommon as a real name. Kimmie is mostly considered a nickname, many people can`t believe that Kimmie is my actual name. =P

depending on if you prefer Russian or Sanskrit, I'm either graceful or inexhaustible.
My parents had decided on another name for me meaning beautiful god, but I was such a fat baby they didn't think it suited me
I then grew up to be tall and skinny but I still think I'm neither graceful nor inexhaustible.
