    The name was invented in the 16th century by the poet Sir Philip Sidney for use in his poem 'Arcadia'. He possibly intended it to mean "all sweetness" from Greek pan "all" and meli "honey".

    JUDITH
    Gender: Feminine
    Usage: English, Jewish, French, Biblical
    Pronounced: JOO-dith (English), zhoo-DEET (French) [key]

    From the Hebrew name Yehudit which meant "woman from Judea". Judea was an ancient region in Israel. In the Old Testament Judith was one of the wives of Esau. This was also the name of the main character of the apocryphal Book of Judith who kills an invading Assyrian commander by beheading him in his sleep. This name may also be used as a feminine form of JUDAH.

    lol....I "killed a commander by beheading him in his sleep"!!! Muhahahha! Beware of me!!

    I didn't find my name in the Dutch list , though it is an original Dutch name. Somehow, it appears on the German list, and the explanation is about right, so here we go

    My first name is in full LUTGARDE
    LUTGARD f German
    Variant of LUITGARD

    LUITGARD f German
    Derived from the Germanic elements liut "people" and gard "enclosure".

    My parents always told me that my name meant "gardian of the people"

    SARAH
    Gender: Feminine
    Usage: English, French, German, Jewish, Biblical
    Pronounced: SER-a [key]

    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).

    Thats cool! I already knew what it meant.
