rilo8913 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 Katherine: From the Greek name Αικατερινη (Aikaterine) Could mean "each of the two," "torture," "my consecration of your name," or "pure." I knew that my name meant pure from this thingy in my room I got when I was a baby (I like what it says, by the way-- pure, intuitive, perceptive), but I had no idea about the other associations. Not liking the torture one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K@koL@ndon Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I LIKE THIS THREAD!!!!!!!! my name is PIETRO Gender: Masculine Usage: Italian Pronounced: PYE-tro Italian form of PETER. Pietro was the first name of the Renaissance painter known as Perugino. Derived from the Greek Πετρος (Petros) meaning "stone". This is a translation used in most versions of the New Testament of the name Cephas (meaning "stone" in Aramaic) which was given to the apostle Simon by Jesus (compare Matthew 16:18 and John 1:42). Simon Peter was the most prominent of the apostles during Jesus's ministry and is considered by some to be the first pope. This name was borne by Peter the Great, the czar of Russia who defeated Sweden in the Great Northern War in the 18th century. A famous fictional bearer is Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up in J. M. Barrie's play. lol:roftl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helen100 Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 HELEN Gender: Feminine Usage: English, Greek Mythology (Anglicized) Pronounced: HEL-en From the Greek ‘Ελενη (Helene), probably from the Greek ‘ελενη (helene) "torch" or "corposant", or possibly from σεληνη (selene) "moon".

The name was also borne by Saint Helena, mother of the Roman emperor Constantine, who supposedly found the True Cross during a trip to Jerusalem. Another famous bearer was Helen Keller, the American author and lecturer who was both blind and deaf. I'm based on the Trojan girl, but I ain't a myth!
