Trying to make meaning in my name, help or comments

Well this doesn't relate much to last name. Well, not at all, but apparently the "Reichert value" is the measure of how much fatty acid can be extracted from fat through saponification.

Okay, now back to the search of my last name.

I'm not so sure I can trust a source that can't put sentences together correctly.

That'd be mine if you took the original meaning of the na,es.

I really like my first name, Jennifer, for which I've found several similar variants, my favourite being 'white ghost/phantom'.
My surname, Craig, means rock or hill from the Scottish 'crag'.

So together, I got White Ghost Hill.
How very... horror themed video game-y.
But I quite like it ^^

My last name (well, my maiden name anyway) has uncertain origin but either way means Death. How lovely. My married name means Son of Hywel which is some Welsh thingy...I dunno... or the other possible meaning is another way of spelling Paul, apparently, which means small.

So I'm the fertile plain of a son of Hywel. Or death. Take your pick.

The Fertile Plain of Death - totally badass.

My Firstname means: "Gift of God," "God is Gracious," or "Merciful."

Second name means: "Army Ruler"

My Lastname means: "Light And Hope"

So I'm not sure.

You're a Jon Aleksander as well? Actually probably more likely one of the more common variants like John Alexander or somesuch, but yea, are you?

Alexander was a homo.

Everyone was in those days.

Yea yea I get that and all, but the "el" in "Kyel" is not and cannot be interpreted as Spanish, this I assure you.

Zarkes · 08-01-2009

^lol it was more of a joke kind of clever I thought because my name was pronounced ky"L" but if I put an accent mark on it it became E'l in spanish. It makes perfect sense to me and it doesnt have to be spanish.

So basically Kye'l the El has double meaning to it.

JohnDoe · 08-01-2009

You must excuse me if I don't see the humor in your joke, perhaps it's lost in translation because it makes absolutely no sense to me. Redirecting to topic, what meaning would your name have if you were to change it? It wouldn't be your given name, but instead a name you chose out for yourself. Seems a bit odd for someone wanting to find meaning in his name.

Going back to the first post, you can't really say that because you are a "mutt" you have no legacy. I am of mixed race, thoroughly mixed if I may say so myself, yet I still have the name given to me.
