well here is the meaning of my name according to a website i look for.

PAUL m English, French, German, Romanian, Biblical
From the Roman family name Paulus, which meant "small" or "humble" (Latin). Saint Paul was an important leader of the early Christian church, his story told in Acts in the New Testament. He was originally named Saul, but changed his name after converting to Christianity. Most of the epistles in the New Testament were authored by him. This was also the name of six popes. Famous bearers of this name in the art world include Paul Cezanne and Paul Gauguin, both 19th-century impressionist painters from France.

and here is the meaning of Saul seen as that is the root of my name

SAUL m Biblical, Jewish
"asked for" or "prayed for" from the Hebrew name Sha'ul. This was the name of the first king of Israel who ruled just before King David, as told in the Old Testament. Also, Saul was the original name of Saint Paul before his conversion to Christianity.

Hmm...right....Lilitha (my full name), ain't a name lol..well, it is, but there's no definitions for it lol...but, it comes from Lilith, and this is what I got:

LILITH f English, Near Eastern Mythology
"of the night" from Assyrian lilitu. This was the name of a demon in ancient Assyrian myths. In Jewish and Islamic tradition she was Adam's first wife, sent out of Eden and replaced by Eve because she would not submit to him. The offspring of Adam and Lilith were the evil spirits of the world.

So...I've made evil spirits, haha. "of the night", is kinda accurate though lol....I prefer night to day. And a demon...woohoo! Lol.

And I looked up Lili too lol, which is what most people called me for ages, but now it's been shortened again to Lil, lol.

LILI f German
German pet form of ELIZABETH

So, I checked Elizabeth...

ELIZABETH f English, Biblical
"oath of God" from the Hebrew name Elisheba. In the Old Testament this is the name of the wife of Aaron. In the New Testament this is the mother of John the Baptist. Saint Elizabeth (12th century) was the daughter of King Andrew II of Hungary who became a Franciscan nun and lived in poverty. This was also the name of two ruling queens of England and an empress of Russia. A famous modern bearer is actress Elizabeth Taylor.

And that....doesn't really fit me at all, really lol. Oh wellz.

emily
root: feminine form of aemilius
origin: latin
means: abitious, industrial

emily represents:
one who leads passionately
someone who knows when to change
a volunteer in many causes
one whose counsel is widley sought
does her work completely
always scratches beneath the surface
welcomes guests with open arms
moves full steam ahead

(i got all this from a computer program)

My sister's name is Emily...and I agree with all those qualities.

BUt as for my name. I don't think it's that special. There are way too many Sarah's in the world. But hey:

NAME Sarah
ORIGIN Hebrew [920]
FIELD4 Princess [17]

As I was looking up a definition I was amazed at all the name site's. There are sites that translate your name into other languages..they are all basically the sam but hey..It was heaps of fun.

haha, when I was little, I was like "woah, my name is in the dictionary" and I looked it up and it said "abbey-A place where monks and nuns live" or something like that, and I was a bit put out.
But, Abigail is from the Hebrew Abigayil meaning "father's joy" and it's the stupidest thing in the world because my dad is a big jerk, treats me like I'm stupid, and I was never happier when I moved out, and never more depressed when I had to move back home because of money issues. I'd rather live with monks and nuns *rolls eyes*
Miranda is my middle name and it's from Latin mirandus meaning "admirable; wonderful." boy, it just keeps getting better and better *another eye roll* it's also the name of one of the moons of Uranus. I'd rather live on Uranus.
Then my last name is McDonald and it's from Scottish MacDonald, duh, and it's just gotten changed through the years of living in the grand old USA. I'd rather live in Scotland. ;)

My name is VERY rediclous... but I like the way it sounds... hehe first off, my name is Amy Marie Yancey... my initials spell AMY. My parents did this on accident mind you, it wasn't until 1st Grade we discovered this. (Ok, we're slow >.<) My mom and her cousin had a bet, the first baby girl born to them would be Amy Lee. Amy Lee was born a week before me. >.< So when I came, my mom went with Marie because it sorta rythmed with Amy Lee. ANYWAYS... enough of that... hehe Heres what it means:

Name: Amy
Origin: French
Meaning: Beloved

Name: Marie
Origin: French
Meaning: Bitter or Bitterness

Name: Yancey
Origin: Native American
Meaning: Yankee

So basically... my name means Beloved Bitter Yankee... someone explain to me how bitterness can be loved? o.O I personally like Eimi Mari, which is Amy Marie in Japanses.
:D

My last name, Konantz, means cognac. And my first name means pomegranate. So my name is basically Pomegranate Cognac. Always thought that was interesting...

I am named after John the Baptist.

My name backwards is Haras. I used to get paid out in primary school about that. Stop Harassing me Sarah...oh it used to drive my crazy.

Katharine
Possibly from the Greek katharosmeaning Pure
or
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
Odd Factoid: I was born on St. Catherine's day. The martyr spoken about WAS St Catherine, and my parents did not know about the date being "my saint's day" until I was about 4.

Moore
aka Muir. It means that my family is from a place in Lowland Scottland.

(only doing my Legal name, not my full name)
Francis
From the Late Latin name Franciscus which meant "Frenchman". Saint Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscan order of friars, was the son of a wealthy merchant who renounced his father's wealth and devoted his life to the poor. Later in his life Francis apparently received the stigmata. Another saint of this name was Saint Francis Xavier, a missionary to eastern Asia. Two other famous bearers were philosopher and scientist Francis Bacon, and explorer and admiral Sir Francis Drake.
also
Francis- Free one

Chinese: Fang Kai (not bad)
I go by Kat, which can get alot of jokes, but it was worse in third grade. We were doing individual study projects (I had chosen morse code) and one guy chose to do names. So, time came for us to present our findings to the class, and he announced to the class that I was "Pure." That stuck with me through High School >.<

I went to babynames.com to find mine.

Kristen: Celtic/Gaelic for "Christ-bearer"
Denise (my middle name): French for the feminine form of Dennis, which means "Wild; frenzied"

Gregory
Gregoros (Gr): Alert, watchful.

Stephanie = crowned one

i have a fun way of how i got my name: has anyone seen Short Circut?
my dad liked the line "no disassemble stephanie" so much....thus the name Stephanie came into the family.
i got my middle name because my mother and all of her sisters have the same middle name, its her mothers middle name, and her grandmothers first name, etc, etc....
Marie = bitter sea

My real name? Well if you can believe it both my grandmothers had a variation of the same name so I got named after them! How original!!

seraph (my screen name is much more interesting)

Timothy- From the Greek name Ôéìïèåïò (Timotheos) meaning "honouring God", derived from ôéìáù (timao) "to honour" and èåïò (theos) "god". Saint Timothy was a companion of Paul on his missionary journeys and was the recipient of two of Paul's epistles that appear in the New Testament. According to tradition, he was martyred at Ephesus after protesting the worship of Artemis.
