About Names

Everyone has a name, and if you are visiting this website, it means that your name is very unique and fabulous!  Some people know what their name means, but very few of us have given it much thought.  The study of names is called onomastics, which looks at things like linguistics, history, anthropology, psychology, sociology, etc.

However, when people want to know the meaning of a name, they are usually referring to the name's etymology, which addresses the literal meaning of the name.  Etymology is the study of the origins of words.  The etymology of a word is its linguistic (language) history.

The purpose of this website is to provide you with the meaning of your unique and fabulous name.  If you don't find it here, we will be happy to find it for you and add it to our database for future reference.
