Hermonie Urameshi lili of the lamplight My name translated fairly easily over to every language I've studied. The biggest difficulty was the absence of V in Japanese (Oribia). The one thing, though, is that my last name gets me laughed at in French. It's a word. Apparently a humorous one to others.
Actually you can use the 'v' sound it Japanese, they just don't use it often and it's only in katakana. オリヴィア 3nodding

Umm... first name is Athanasius (my parents signed my death warrant when they signed my birth certificate, I swear sweatdrop )... so I go by Athan... behindthename.com ATHANASIUS Gender: Masculine Usage: Ancient Greek (Latinized) Pronounced: ath-a-NAY-shus [key] From the Greek name Αθανασιος (Athanasios), which meant "immortal" from Greek α, a negative prefix, combined with θανατος (thanatos) "death". Saint Athanasius was a 4th-century bishop of Alexandria who strongly opposed Arianism. ......the irony. I actually didn't know that. Usually it's just transliterated. Meh, at least they managed to get the gender right. Wait, I'm named after a saint?? whoa. I can't decide whether that's cool or just depressing. Last name (which I'm NOT telling) is also just transliterated. It comes out of the blue, too... though I think it might have something to do with a tall tower, if it's latin-based. Probably not, though. rolleyes

My last name is Gibson.
No idea where it came from.
Ireland?
I tried looking it up and found a black man with the name Gideon Gibson. Apparently he married a white woman and their children married whites, and so forth. People like to joke and say that I'm black. I think it would be really interesting, but hard to believe. o-0

REBECCA= Hebrew. Well most sites say bind but this one thing I have that was made for me when I was a baby says bound(there is a difference there) so I don't know.
Louise= German. Famous warrior. Now that makes sense with me.
JONES= Definition: A patronymic name meaning "son of John (God has favored or gift of God)." The most common surname in Wales. JOHNSON is a common English version of this surname.
As a side not- Gibson= Definition: A patronymic name meaning "son of Gibb," which in Middle English was a familiar term for a cat.
Surname Origin: English, Scottish
Alternate Surname Spellings: GIBBS, GIBBES
So you're a cat sweatdrop I'm not to happy that mine mentions God at all seeing as I'm non-religious but I'm not going to get into that ninja

My name is Mathilda, which means ''strength'' and ''battle'' in German. I think my Irish name is Maitilde (with a fada somewhere, don't remember where sweatdrop ). I don't really like my name, too international and usual.
But my lastname is very weird for non-Swedish speakers and not usual... When I lived in America, which was from age 3 to age 5, no one could pronunce it!

Lets see... My first name is Ioana Quote: Gender: Feminine Usage: Romanian Other Scripts: Йоана (Bulgarian) Romanian feminine form of JOHN. This is also a variant transcription of the Bulgarian name YOANA Now...if I recall corectly, it derives from Iohannes, which was the Latin form of the Greek name Ιωαννης (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name יוֹחָנָן (Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH is gracious"... (I shouldn't get too excited about getting the symbols right...I just copied and pasted from another site sweatdrop ) As for my last name, Adăscăliţei, I pretty much know what it meens. A is a commond prefix for names, and it stands for 'son of'. dăscăliţei is the feminine for 'dascal', meaning teacher or something along those lines. So it's 'Teacher's son'...and I doubt I'll have the courage to say that again.

My real (real) first name is Alea (ah-LEE-ah). Like Leah, it's quite common in other countries, so it has lots of roots and meanings. Some sites say it's European, while others say it's Hawaiian/an Asian translation. My mother swears it means "Exalted" but, like I said, there are tons of meanings depending where you look. My favorite I've found was "Girl Who Grinds". If I had been a skater/dirty dancer I would be set xd . It's also a ton of acronims if you google it wink .
In English I go by Lee (or Wee sweatdrop )
French: Lee
Japanese: Aria or just Ri
My Last name is more interesting. My mother and father link theirs up when they married, but I know the lineage of my mother's half (Her family keeps a full family tree dating waaay back.) We're originally french, from the Chateau D'Orsay (ever heard of the Musee D'Orsay? Yeah, you're welcome xp . We technically own like 1/1,000,000 of it.) Then when they moved over to Ireland, it was changed to Dorsay, then, way after that, it was changed to Dorsey when they got over to America. Hence, Alea Dorsey-***** was born ^.^.
