History of Names...

Here we go, this thread could be very interesting!

What I'd like you to do is to post your full name, and then tell us all of the history or meaning of the aforementioned names (if you know it).

I'll start off..

Full Name...Jonathan Ross Cowie


History....My first name comes from an Anglisization of the Hebrew "Yonatan" (recognise it???), and means "Gift of God". I have no clue about my middle name. My last name comes from the name of a town in Banffshire (Grampian, Scotland) called Cowie, which is where my father's side of the family are originally from. It was a small fishing village, and my fathers ancestors moved up north to teach Highlanders about fishing, after the end of the clearances.


Anyone else???

so now you know...

My full name is Dean Leuba Chapman, i don't know what any of it means, i would appreciate it if someone could though

My full name is Jon Boyer Mooty (and believe me everyone of them gets misspelled everytime). The only interesting one is my middle name which is the same as my dad's (he is Jimmy Boyer), and my grandparents got that name from the side of Cattle Truck Jimmy Boyer Cattle and since then every male Mooty's middle name starts with a B (2 of them being Boyer). Interesting thing about my last name is that there are only around 200 Mooty's in the US (at last check) and I guarantee I'm related to everyone of them, personally I think some Moody down the line got in trouble with the law and changed his last name to Mooty to avoid detection. ;)

Mike from Michael, or "God-like" (please, no autographs)
