Do what it says Malcolm means, please.

[Jeanette X]

Malcolm comes from the Scottish words Mael Coluim, which mean "Disciple of St. Columba". Columba means "dove" in late Roman.

I love you Jeanette.

That's actually pretty much dead on, 'bonde' is Scandinavian for 'farmer'. Or maybe there's a different word for farmer in Sweden?

My name's Per Arne, and I'm pretty sure it means Cliff/Rock Eagle. Per is a short version of Peder/Peter (biblical), and Arne is Norse.

I knew this Croatian-Norwegian-American guy called Vinko Sindelar. Apparently, it means 'king of the hill'.

Paul if you would please.

[LegoLars]

I love you jeanette.

[Jeanette X]

I love you guys too.
Stephen: From the Greek Stephanos, meaning crown.
Paul: from the Roman family name "Paulus", which means "small" or "humble" in Latin.
Zane: One of my sources says it is a Danish surname of unknown meaning, another says that it is another version of Yochanan (see first post).

My mum named me after John Lenon :o. And my middle name is Paul :o. She told me something about my name being universal...what the hell does that mean o.O

[pjalne]

It means you can move to pretty much every country in the world, and your name will still look normal to the natives.

[Rongi]

That's pretty cool. Too bad I don't do much traveling

So my full name would mean humble carpenter/cabinetmaker. LOL

[Sam]

How about Nelson?

"Humble carpenter"...like Jesus, I guess.

Nelson is from an English surname meaning "Son of Neil". Neil is from the Gaelic name Niall, which may mean either "champion" or "cloud".

[Rongi]

Everyone else gets cool name meanings like "jesus" and "champion" and stuff and my name means gracious or something. This sucks

[Jeanette X]

Your name means "God's gracious gift" Rongi. I think that is a nice meaning. There are worse things your name could mean. Besides, you can tell me your middle name and maybe I can find the meaning of that.

[timrpgland]

I've heard my name means "honouring God"

From the Greek word timan "to honour" and theos "god."

Then my last name is Son of William... YAY

[Zosimus]

Jeanette, what does Xenia and Phillip mean, (I been told there is some relation to Xena)?

[UnDeath]

what aboot Shane?

[Sam]

So I guess my first and middle name together are like "God's Champion" or something of the sort?

I find that interesting.
