This is actually a big deal for me. As an author, all of my characters' names have a unique meaning, and are chosen intentionally - though some do choose to name themselves 😂
For example, the main character in The Fire and The Serpent series is Kenna. I wanted a name that would resonate with who she is called to be, rather than who she sees herself as.
One of the Gaelic meanings of her name is "fire-born" 🔥
This revelation is life-changing for Kenna, who has long struggled with self-doubt and feelings of unworthiness. The journey she embarks on is not just a physical one, but also a profound journey of identity and personal growth.
Her journey is a reflection that I feel a lot of us go through in life. Trying to live up to a standard or an expectation, but not feeling worthy enough.
Kenna's journey is hard, and she genuinely struggles, but I have faith she is going to overcome her fear and step into her destiny.
She will be truly be one who burns.
