Reblog with the meaning of your name(s)

housesnark:

first: great, magnificent

middle: pure

last: the shield or defense of many

I hate rebloggy things, but I’ve looked these up and always forget, so I’m gonna put them on my Tumblr and throw some thoughts in there for good measure.

first: “He was willing/determined”/”He was foolish”

In its Hebrew form it means “Yahweh is Elohim”/”The Lord is God”/”One name for the Judeo-Christian God is another name for the Judeo-Christian god”, plus a fun fact I learned just now: it’s also “Elijah” backwards in Hebrew.  Cool beans.

But the above comes from some cognate languages apparently?  I’m not sure what exactly that means, but I like the duality of the foolish/determined bit much better than some theological wordplay.

middle: ”twin”, from Aramaic via Greek.

last: broad grove/thicket - I think I’m gonna start going by the original “Bradeshaghe”

So, I’m a determined/foolish twin in a big thicket.  Fair enough.
