What's behind the name....

Expectant parents, even when baby is still on mum's tummy, are so excited to their fruit of love that would be a member of the family. Little baby has not yet seen the light of life, but he/she has a name already! =) How sweet. ^^

Names. Everyone has one, most people have a vague idea what their own means, but few give them much more thought. Some are named from the combination of the names of their parents. Others are named after their father, their great Grand-parents, or to some known men of times. And some are named from the biblical names that are mentioned from the Old and the New Testament. Therefore, our names must have a meaning. Whatever it is and wherever it is from, I think we should know.
When people refer to the "meaning of a name", they are most likely referring to the etymology, which is the original literal meaning.


Well, I'm one of the few who give thought to the meaning of my name and here it is:

Shelomi
Shelomi meaning: My peace, my happiness, my recompense.
Shelomi origin: Biblical
Shelomi gender: Female

OH, I love the meaning of my name. I am the peace of my ma and pa, their happiness, their recompense.. Truly a JOy from the LOrd.. 

Here are the meanings of the names of my Children and see how I named them:
1. Aljodon David- Aljodon- its meaning is "old one, elder"
                                David Possibly derived from Hebrew דוד (dvd) meaning "beloved".
