    Your name meaning

    Go here and type in your name at the bottom.

    For my name it says,

    "JORDAN
    Gender: Masculine & Feminine
    Usage: English, German, Biblical
    Pronounced: JOR-dan [key]
    From the name of a river flowing between the countries of Jordan and Israel. The river's name in Hebrew is Yarden, and it is derived from yarad meaning "descend" or "flow down". John the Baptist baptized Jesus Christ in its waters, and it was adopted as a personal name after crusaders brought back water from the river to baptize their children."

    KARI (1)
    Gender: Feminine
    Usage: Norwegian
    Norwegian form of KATHERINE

    From the Greek name Aikaterine. The etymology is debated: it could derive from the earlier Greek name Hekaterine, which came from hekateros "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess HECATE; it could be related to Greek aikia "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". The Romans falsely derived it from Greek katharos "pure" and changed their spelling from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this. The name belonged to a 4th-century saint and martyr from Alexandria who was tortured on the famous Catherine wheel. This name was also borne by two empresses of Russia, including Catherine the Great, and by three of Henry VIII's wives.

    From the Hebrew name Avigayil meaning "my father is joy". This was the name of a wife of king David in the Old Testament.


    This is as close as it gets to my name. My name isn't Abigail but there isn't just a plain Abby so I guess this counts!

    VICTORIA (1)
    Gender: Feminine
    Usage: English, Spanish, Romanian, Ancient Roman
    Pronounced: vik-TOR-ee-a [key]
    Feminine form of VICTORIUS. This name was borne by a long-reigning queen of England. A Canadian city bears this name in her honour, as well as an Australian state and several other geographic areas.

    Ha! Royalty or no royalty, I still prefer "Slick".
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    SARA
    Gender: Feminine
    Usage: Arabic, Greek, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Scandinavian
    Pronounced: SER-a, SAH-rah (Spanish) [key]
    Form of SARAH


    So, I looked up Sarah. Because the gender, usage, and pronunciation are the same, here's the meaning I got.

    SARAH
    Means "lady" or "princess" in Hebrew. This was the name of the wife of Abraham in the Old Testament. She became the mother of Isaac at the age of 90. Her name was originally Sarai, but God changed it (see Genesis 17:15).

    AMBER
    Gender: Feminine
    Usage: English
    Pronounced: AM-bur
    Simply means "amber", from the English word that denotes either the fossilized tree resin or the orange-yellow colour. The word ultimately derives from Arabic 'anbar.

    ELIZABETH

    Gender: Feminine
    Usage: English, Biblical
    Pronounced: ee-LIZ-a-beth [key]

    From Elisabet, the Greek form of the Hebrew name Elisheba meaning "my God is an oath" or perhaps "my God is abundance". In the New Testament this is the name of the mother of John the Baptist. It was also borne by the 12th-century Saint Elizabeth, a daughter of King Andrew II of Hungary who became a Franciscan nun and lived in poverty. It was also the name of a ruling queen of England and an empress of Russia. Famous modern bearers include the British queen Elizabeth II and actress Elizabeth Taylor.
