I decided to type my name and search at Wikipedia
heres what i found

The name Robert[1][2] is derived from Germanic roots hrod and beraht meaning "fame" and "bright"[3]. After becoming widely used in Continental Europe it entered England, where an Anglo-Saxon cognate of the name also already existed, with the Normans.



FAME!...........BRIGHT! woot woot. atleast it means something good. it would suck if it meant "loser" or "ass-biter" haha.


try typing your name in and post what you find.

Stephen or Steven (generally pronounced IPA: /ˈstiːvən/) is an English masculine first name, derived through the Latin form Stephanus from the Greek Στέφανος (Stephanos), which means "crown" or "wreath."

Amy is a given name, a variant of "Aimee", which means beloved in French, from Old French amede, from Latin amāta, feminine singular past participle of amāre "to love". The name may also originate from French Ami, which means friend.
Amy can also be a diminutive of "Amelia". Amelia is derived from a separate root word, the Germanic amal, "to work."

Well... "The World" by Irish definition is the distance between the bar and the bathroom, so I wouldn't be too proud of that, Donnie. :)

Christopher is the English version of a Europe-wide name derived from the Ancient Greek Χριστόφορος (Christóphοros). The name means “Christ-bearer”, or more literally “Bearer of the anointed one”. The constituent parts are χρίστος (chrístos) 'anointed one' and φέρω (phéro) 'I carry'. The name originates in the Christian legend of St Christopher.
In English, Christopher may be abbreviated as, Chris, Kit, or Topher.

The meaning of the name is uncertain, but it may originally be an Egyptian name, probably derived from mry "beloved" or mr "love" [1] ("eminent lady" or "beloved lady"),

Maria has in Latin been associated with the noun mare, meaning "[the] sea". So a punning reflection of Maria is Stella Maris, or "star of the sea".

"Ian" or "Iain" (Pronunciation: ee-in) is the Scottish Gaelic version of John. It is a very common name in much of the English-speaking world. In the UK, Ian was the 19th most common male name, taking account of the whole population (over 300,000 Ians in total). However, it has disappeared from the top 100 male baby names. In the United States, however, it is now becoming more popular, currently at number 68 in the baby name charts. Many notable people in many different walks of life have been given it as a first name, the most notable translated version of the name 'Ian' is 'Yanis' or 'Ianis'. Either is accepted in Greek or Spanish.
In Scottish Gaelic, this is the common form of the name "John", and is always spelt with two "i"s. However, in the Bible, "Eoin" is used. Other Gaelic forms of "John" include "Seonaidh" ("Johnny" from Lowland Scots), "Seon" (from English), "Seathan" and "Sean" (from Irish)

Peter is a popular male given name. It comes from the Greek word πέτρα (read petra, in Latin used as petro-), meaning rock, or cliff.
According to the New Testament, Jesus gave the Apostle Peter (whose given name was Simon) the name Rock (Kephas or Cephas in Aramaic; Petros in Greek). The name was later transliterated into Latin as Petrus, from which the English form Peter derives.



Bloody parents giving me a Bible name!;)
