| What Does Your Name (foreign) Really Mean? by Nobody: 12:03pm On Oct 29, 2014 |
#Clears throat# Good day everyone... I have been wondering if there is anyfin in a name and I have seen in the Bible that a name is very determining of a person's behavior, character and destiny. I would love U guys to state your names (foreign) and their meanings... And in case U don't know the meaning of Ur name (foreign), feel free and send Ur name, I will definitely tell U the meaning Of Ur name. Ranging from Biblical, Islamic, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Roman, etc... As for me, my name is Paul meaning ''Little'' or ''small''. But I fink it really means ''small but Mighty'' drop Yours |
