A Brief History of Name Meanings & Origins
The origin of many first (Christian) names can be found in religious texts; examples include Luke, Matthew, and Michael. Other names can find the roots from words used in languages including ancient olde English and Latin. Therefore Sophia (Sofia = Wisdom), Alexander = Protector of Men. These names can be viewed as an attempt to shape the lifestyle of an individual.
A first name can also be seen as being derived from titles and occupations such as Sarah (Sara = Princess), or George (Georgios = Farmer). Another source of names are from Objects; therefore we have Peter (Petra = rock) or Steven (Stephanos = Crown). A variation of this is in the popularity of flowers as female names (Rose, Lily). Other first name origins include specific Locations, examples include Britney (Brittany) and Paris or Weather e.g. Foggy.
An interesting thing to note about first names is how they can evolve in to a multitude of forms. For example, the popular name Michael can be seen in other forms as Mike, Mikel, Mikael, Miguel as well as in the feminine name Michelle.
Christian names compliment surnames, these basically originate from five basic formats: Occupation (Cook, Smith), Descriptive (Black, Young), Location (Hill, Rivers); Trait/Expression (Hope, Goodwill), and Ancestry (Richardson, Simpson).
For many people the nomenclature they carry throughout their modern day lives, more than likely originated in the thoughts of their ancestors living hundreds, if not thousands of years ago.
