Meaning of a Name
Welcome Back
Today I will be exploring the meaning of my name, as well as what it means to me. I've done a little research into my name, and have found a couple definitions from different languages. Lets begin with English, who actually took the name from the french, which means Grevaise spearman. After looking into it, I found that it means man who serves the spear, a master at using the spear. This was quite an interesting find so I kept looking until I found that my name is also and ancient Hebrew/ pre-flood biblical meaning rose (flower), as well as descending or follower of the lord. However these are not the reason for why i was given my name, its quite a humorous story. My parents wanted to keep my gender a surprise. They had already chosen a name for a girl but not for a boy, so on heir way to the hospital they started to argue about my name and my father just told my mom to name me after her favorite character from the series she was watching at the time.
My name has its own meaning to me, because I have my own identity and personality and use my name as a mane factor to describe myself. Therefore you don't need to follow what is your name and what it means, make it your name and why it is part of your identity.

The main focus of this post is shown and explained well. The story given near the end also keeps the slightly humorous tone of the entire post and the post never goes off topic. Overall, a rather solid entry that is kept concise.
ReplyDeleteInteresting meaning behind your name. I like the way that your parents have a great story behind your name. What was the TV series at the time? Also, you touched on your interpretation of your name but didn't say what your own meaning is. It'd be interesting to tell us readers what it is. Great post though :D
ReplyDeleteThere is indeed a very interesting meaning behind your name. Also, a good point was made at the end of the post that " you don't need to follow what is your name and what it means, make it your name and why it is part of your identity". Maybe you could add some more information about what your name means to you and why you think that. Overall, this was a nice and enjoyable post to read.
