What Does My Name Mean

What does my name mean is a common question asked by people who are curious about their identity or their origins. Those who want to know what their name means may want to get to the roots of why their parents gave them such atrocities in the first place.

If your name is Francis is it because your parents liked watching the TV show about the talking mule in the 1960's? Or is your name Moon because someone in your family was a Frank Zappa fan?

Or perhaps you're searching your family tree and want to know the true origin of what your surname means. English surnames are somewhat easy since they often sprung from a person's job like Taylor or Bathmaker or Backrubber.

The meaning of German names often originated with burgs or towns that people came from such as Pittsburgh, Doucheldorf or Eichelsmobilehomesburgh.

If you want to know what your name means in other languages it is not as complex as one might think. I have boiled it down to the essentials of what your name means in many different languages assuming that you are starting with a human name in the first place.

You see, we are all connected by our names. During the caveman days all names were pretty derogatory since they didn't know any better. "Ugg, get me hammer" and "Frogg, bite me" were common putdowns and names at that time.

So when you ask the question, what does my name mean, remember that all such monikers are putdowns at there very roots. The meaning of your name may reflect facial features, where your family comes from, your family status, or what your parents happened to be looking at when you were born.

For instance, it is well known that the Cheyenne Indian tribe named their children after the first thing they saw when the squaw was giving birth. Names like Running Bear, Flying Hawk and Angry Wolf were common (sorry about that Squatting Dog).

So, when you look for what your name means, don't look too far or take it too seriously. At the root you are a fart face just like I am.
