Name meanings - what does your name mean

[Wren]

Here, I did this for fun and turns out your name choice may have been more appropriate than you originally intended. Well here it is:

ANDREW
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Biblical
Pronounced: AN-droo *
From the Greek name Andreas, which derives from (aner) "man" (genitive (andros) "of a man"). In the New Testament the apostle Andrew was the brother of the apostle Simon Peter. According to legend he was crucified on an X-shaped cross, and he is the patron saint of Scotland, Russia, and Greece. This was also the name of kings of Hungary.

Just for shits and giggles:
I looked up Lex, which they tell me is the short from of Alexander. Which also comes from greek origins meaning "Defending man".
-Alexis, both female and male, are from the masculine name Alexius which is the latinized greek name meaning "defender" or "helper" There was a russian Czar (Tsar) who sported this name. And a byzantin king.

Kieron is from the Irish name Ciaran meaning "black".

HA!Haha, and Wren is actually a woman's name meaning "wren" as in the bird. I'm not suprised.

wow...i must be really bored...

ACK! I completely excluded Aaron Micheal, well here they are

Aaron- hebrew name of egyption origin meaning "exalted" or "high mountain"
Michael-derived from hebrew meaning "who is like god?".

Okay everyone has probably already done this for their name a thousand times, so I'm sorry, this is just really fun now. Now that I'm here, do you feel that you are accurately represented by your name. This should be it's own thread...

[Wendy me]

WENDY
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English Pronounced: WEN-dee [key]
Probably first used in J. M. Barrie's play 'Peter Pan' in 1904. It was from the nickname fwendy "friend", given to the author by a young friend. However, there is some evidence that the name may have been used prior to the play, in which case it could be related to the Welsh name GWENDOLEN or other names beginning with gwen meaning "white, fair, blessed".

So . . . should we call you "spice" or "palm tree"? Or maybe Palm Tree Spice - too bad the Spice Girls disbanded.
