How was it given to you? (Name party, baptism, naming ritual or...?)
My name is Jodi, and it means rewarding.
I don't remember the origin, but it's probably from Judah.
My parents wanted something different and unique. At the time the name Jodi with an I was pretty unique. Because they took such care with it, I often will correct people who misspell it. Not as much for me, but for my parents.
If I remember right, my parents stayed up all night thinking up names at a drive-in or something. If I was boy, I would have been Josh.

Katherine, means pure and changed.
However in Japan I was called Kaiko, which means Shell Child.
What's the origin of your name?
Katherine is from the Greek Goddess Hecate, Goddess of Wilderness and Childbirth. Also, from the Greek word that stands for Torture.
As for Kaiko, kai means shell and ko means child.
Do you know why your parents picked it? I have no idea why I was named that.
Kaiko was because I kept to myself, introverted.
How was it given to you? (Name party, baptism, naming ritual or...?) Don't know.
Kaiko is a nickname that my mother and friends use, since they had some trouble pronouncing Katherine. It was my semiofficial name over there. All my Japanese friends call me that nowadays.

What does your name mean? Sarra *Jean*- Princess *God is gracious*
What's the origin of your name? Hebrew/Hebrew
Do you know why your parents picked it? Dad picked it and the middle name I was named after my grandma. Mom picked the same middle name because it was her best friends name. So I was stuck with Jean either way. Sarra is a Biblical name and my brother has a Biblical name too, but normal spelling
How was it given to you? (Name party, baptism, naming ritual or...?) They kind a threw it on the birth certificate when I was born

Brandon........Means "from the Beacon Hill"
What's the origin of your name?
Teutonic
Do you know why your parents picked it?
Mom and Dad's favorite actor (and still to this day) is Marlon Brando.......so they tacked an "n" on the back of his last name and there you have it......Brandon. My middle name "Lee" (yes yes I know.....haha...whatever ) is a family thing passed down generation to generation for as long as anyone can remember.......now my son carries on that tradition, as will his son, hopefully (and yes it is a male thing in my family)
How was it given to you? (Name party, baptism, naming ritual or...?)
When I was born the parents printed it out clearly on the Birth Certificate........
Just as an aside I went ahead and looked up my boy and girl's names.........they are "God is my Strength" for my boy, Gabe and "The River of Judgement" for my daughter Jordi (shortened versions of both thier names.........what we call em around the house). Picked my boys name straight out of the bible......The Archangel Gabriel and my girls name my wife picked.

For some reason I really like biblical names.

My name means warrior king, a khan that brings clans together. My father gave it to me as I was born in the same day of one of the greatest victories in Turkish history which opened Anatolia to Turks where Alpaslan with around 15000 warriors met an army of Bizantium led by Constantin of far larger numbers and was victorious.
I was also given a nick name of Hamza by friends who was the uncle of Probhet and known as Esedullah which means Allah's Lion becouse of my fierce nature.

Name: Michael
What does your name mean? Who is like God?
What's the origin of your name? Extended form of Micha, meaning "Who is like God?". Michael is the name of several characters in the Old Testament. It is most famously that of one of the archangels, the one closest to God, who has the responsability of carrying out God's judgements. Michael is regarded as the leader of the heavenly host and is the patron saint of soldiers.
Do you know why your parents picked it? Was Named after my uncle
How was it given to you? (Name party, baptism, naming ritual or...?) Just wrote in on my birth certificate.
Michael is such a common name (i think its the most popular boy name). Most of my friends and some family call me Cole (my last name).
*edited* i checked and its the second most popular boy name
