Madison (Meaning: Daughter of a Warrior)

-

Hello everybody!

Okay, here it goes! Today is the day for my sister, the start for a string of birthdays in my life. You see, all of my immediate family was born in February. My sister's is today, my brother's in a week or so, and my mother the day after that. It's something of a joke in my family, because I was the only one born in August. So, it's going to be an adventure writing about my family, though not for lack of inspiration.

My sister's name is Madison (Meaning; Daughter of a Warrior), and that meaning is perfect for her. She never gives up, and will always forge forward. She is very good at creating, and always has the gusto to finish it. She's a great person, to be sure, and one who isn't going to stop doing something just because it's hard to do.

She is ridiculously creative, and talented with everything she does. From creating Fairy Dolls to folding paper flowers, she is also great at getting the ideas in her head out into the world. And the thing is, she's successful. Everyone who takes a look at her fairies says something along the lines of "So Cute!" Her paper flowers on Etsy are selling within days of being listed. They are as beautiful as Madison is. I am truly lucky to have her in my life.

As for the name Madison...

Madison was originally a boy's name, as the -son that it ends with denotes. Traditionally, it means "Son of a Warrior," but having my sister with that name has caused me to rethink that meaning, so I refer to the meaning as Daughter of a warrior. It's more popular as a girl's name anyway! The name itself  comes from England, although it started out with two D's. I think this name is one for a strong person, a name for those who will succeed. The Madison's of the world are smart, headstrong people. They accomplish things. And that, I believe, shows the warrior part of them. They don't give up, or give in, they do. They accomplish. At the very least, that's what I see in my sister. Thanks for being such a great sister Madison!

Is your name Madison? What does your name mean to you? Let me know in the comment section below. I would be thrilled if you shared your meaning with me. Were you born in February? Tell me your name, and your meaning, below. Let us celebrate the great meaning of you!

Kaspar (Meaning; Keeper of the Treasure)

Hello Everyone! Today I am going to write about the enigma that was Kaspar Hauser (Meaning; House of the Keeper of the Treasure), and my thoughts about him and his meaning. I only recently found out the sad story of Kaspar, and it inspired me to write about the unfortunate life of this young man.  The story starts on the 26th of May, 1828 in Nuremburg Germany. A young teenager stumbled onto the streets of the town, a confused look on his young face. After he got into town, a local shoemaker, Weichmann (Meaning; Man of War) noticed him, and the boy held out a letter, addressed to the local Captain, Von Wessenig. It told a part of Kaspar's story, that he had been placed in the care of the letters writer on the 7th of October 1812, and that the boy had been kept inside the caretaker's house all his life. It ended with a dire challenge; Train him, or if he could not, hang him. A second letter was in the envelope, apparently from Hauser's mother. His father was dead...

Samhain (Meaning; End of the Harvest)

Hello everyone! It's a little late, but I though I'd do a post about a name pertaining to Halloween this year. That name is Samhain (Meaning; End of the Harvest). This name's meaning is the essence of the month of October, the last month of Harvest. Now, I haven't met any Samhains, and I'm sure you haven't either. The name is actually a girl's name, and began with the ancient Celts. Here's one reason I wouldn't want to be named Samhain; It's Halloween's original name. Yes, Samhain is the name of Halloween. It's so connected with Halloween, people with the fear of Halloween have what is called Samhainopobia. And yes, that's a real thing. Now, I know that I haven't said much good about this name, but it does have a nice meaning, "End of Harvest." That meaning may seem to be horribe, as the end of harvest was always a bad thing, but in my minds eye, it may be the end of the harvest, but it is the beginning of winte...

Names For May

Hello! May is my favorite month, as I generally find April still a little too cold where I live. But now, Spring is in full swing! May is a month full of interesting things. I'm glad I do this blog, or I'd never know what May brings! The month celebrates May Day. A meteor shower appears in the sky at this time of the year, starting April 21, and ending on May 20. It's name? Eta Aquarids. (Meaning: Luminous  Water Bearer) The birthstone is Emerald. And, the flower of the month is a Lily of the Valley. I didn't know there were flowers for every month. May seems like a month destined for beauty. Once again, I will add only five names for each gender, starting with boys. May Names (For Boys) Arell  (Meaning: Light) Arell seems a graceful name to me. It is most likely a Latin name, but it could be an English, Polish, Romanian or Italian nickname for Aurelia. Like I said before, it sounds graceful to me, with two L's. The meaning of Arell is just as ...
