Quoting susie k: We all have names some have meanings some don't.
My name means as beautiful as a lily - which of course I am!!!!
My Turkish surname means Elm Tree which is lovely!
LILY ELM TREE !
Has anyone else got an interesting or pretty name meaning?
Does anybody know of any Turkish names which mean interesting or beautiful names?
My husbands friend/ 2nd jobs boss' name means strange in Turkish! I thought this was hilarious when I discovered it!
The Turks calls there children Yilmaz - star or another one interprets as last - ie their last child now they've had enough!
My names Arabic, so when I go there they try to shorten it to Susan as this is a Turkish name , there is even a song about it!  |
I also found this interesting Susie.
Susan is a female given name, a form of Susanna, deriving originally from Middle Egyptian approx. 2000 B.C. Connected with this is Susa, an ancient city of Persia. It is said to derive its name from the lillies which abounded in the plain in which it was situated, Susan or Shusan being the Persian word for lily. Who knew.

My name Bridget is Germanic in origin and can be spelt many ways - Brigitte, Brigit, Brigita, Bridy. There was also a Saint Bridget in Ireland who was (or is!) the patron saint of small birds.
My name means strong - and by jeepers I am in more ways than one! Stong in the mind and strong in the arm!
Hoping to bike from London to Paris next July so the strong bit does come into it..............

I decided to look up my name this is what I found! Not quite the meaning I have found in the past!
BRIDGET
Gender: Feminine
Usage: Irish, Scottish, English, Irish Mythology
Pronounced: BRIJ-it [key]
Anglicized form of the Irish name Brighid which means "exalted one". In Irish mythology she was the goddess of fire, poetry and wisdom, the daughter of the god Dagda. This name was also borne by two important saints: a patron saint of Ireland (also known as Brigid) who established a convent at Kildare in the 5th century, and Saint Bridget of Sweden (also known as Birgitta) who founded an order of nuns in the 14th century.
