    What does your name mean? Does it have any special importance in your family? Named after anyone or anything?Well, my first name is Thomas. It derives from Aramaic and means "Twin". It also means "Tomb" or "From the Grave" in old Celtic languages. I'm named after one of my great-grandfathers. My mom was going to name me Ashley regardless if I was a boy or girl. :no1: I really dont think I would of hated it or anything, but feel I would of been picked on because of it in grade school. About a week before I was born she changed her mind. My middle name is Daniel. Its origin is Hebrew and means "God is my Judge." I'm named this after my grandfather. You can pretty much get the meaning of your name on a lot of sites, but some good ones are behindthename.com or you can use wikipedia.Yeah, my real name isnt pj colpitts or anything like it.

    The name Eric is of Scandinavian origin. It is derived from the name Eirikr, meaning "complete ruler" from the words aiza, "honor", or ei "ever" and rik,"ruler". The most common historical form is Erik. Possible relation to Erech/Uruk/Warka.It was first introduced into England by Scandinavian invaders before the Norman Invasion. It was an uncommon name in England until the Middle Ages, when it gained popularity, and finally became a common name in the 19th century. This was partly because of the publishing of the novel Little by Little, or Eric by Frederick William Farrer in 1858.Some variations and nicknames of the name Eric include: Arik, Rick and Aric. The official name day for Eric is the 18th of May in Sweden.

    They didnt have one for Nick, I got Nicholas though...The male given name Nicholas is derived from the Greek Νικόλαος, Nikolaos, a combination of the words for "victory" (nike) and "people" (laos). The name can be understood to mean victory of the people some say it means "power of the people". The name became popular through <u>Saint Nicholas </u>of Myra, the inspiration for Father Christmas (known as Santa Claus in the USA). The normal English version of spelling "Nicholas", using an "h", is derived from one way of transliterating the diacritic on the 'o' of the original Greek word Νικόλαος. It is claimed to have first come into use in the 12th century and to have been firmly established by the time of the Reformation. Nonetheless, the spelling "Nicolas" without "h" is occasionally found in English speaking countries (e.g. <u>Nicolas Cage</u>). Nicholas is the 64th most common male name in the USA
