Names and their meanings

I’m fascinated with names and their meanings. There’s a lot of symbolism in novels, movies, books, and Spanish soap operas (I’m addicted). Heroes seem to have strong names and nerds, well, you know which names you’d pick if you were writing a story about a geek. I found in my teaching career that my class clowns were usually named Josh - always "joshing" around - and for some reason all three of my all time favorite male students were named Brian or Bryan (The meaning of this name is not known for certain but it is possibly related to the old Celtic element bre meaning "hill", or by extension "high, noble".) My fascination with words and names and their origins got a new boost when I started teaching myself Hebrew. I always check the meanings of Old Testament names of places and people as half the story can be learned from that. My name is Debra. In Hebrew it's Deborah which means "bee". The word for “word” is "dabar" from which comes the name Deborah. Huh? What's the relationship? "The word of the Lord is sweet as honey". I guess it was my destiny to be buzzing around words. What does your name mean and does it fit you?
