My name is derived from the word gisil (Germanic) meaning pledge, hostage or sacrifice. I’m not entirely sure how it wounded up in the French language as a popular name, (or how that became a name to begin with) but it was introduced in the English speaking world when some guy made a famous ballet named Giselle. (my version of the name is missing an L though. XD) Its meaning has fuckall to do with my personality, that I know of. Really too vague anyways, especially if it’s just some wording business.

@HungryGuy lmao XD

My name is Lana. I define it as the sexiest name alive.
And it also has millions of meanings in many languages such as Italian, blah, blah.
And yes, if we were to go by the definition of sexy, then it’s 100% close to my character. (: Self obsessed or whaaat?

Fizzbanger is the name of my favorite bath ball from Lush. It smells like green apple. I like things that smell good. Not very deep.

It’s of Hebraic origin. It means Friend, Companion. My Mum chose my name after Ruth from the Bible as she was the woman who went the extra mile. I have done and will continue to do so at various points throughout my journey no doubt.

My name means “of the Lord” and it comes from Latin. As a lover of Latin, I’m pleased, but perhaps as an atheist, it isn’t the best match for me in meaning.

My real name means divine or perfect. It couldn’t be farther off from my personality.

downtide's avatar

I just realised that I answered this for my Fluther username, not my real name. My real name means “famous warrior”.

Adagio's avatar

Or did you mean my real name? OK , take your pick one of enchanting beauty or heifer… not hard to guess which one I prefer, besides which it’s absolutely true.

whiteliondreams's avatar

Mariano, an Italian/Spanish extension of Marius, which may mean ‘male’ or the Roman god of war, Mars.

OpryLeigh's avatar

Since answering this question originally I have since learnt that it also means Goddess of Canoes in Hawaiian! Not sure which is the most credible, Gracious Plum or Goddess of Canoes!

Adagio's avatar

@Leanne1986 goddess of canoes is rather nice : ^)

OpryLeigh's avatar

@Adagio It’s certainly nicer than “Gracious Plum”!!

Nullo's avatar

Mine is a Hebrew name, working out to “favored son.” Happily, my only sibling is female.
