What does you name mean? - serp3821 - 23-11-2009 02:47 AM
Yes, what does it mean?
go here: http://www.behindthename.com/
Mine means:
STEPHEN
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Biblical
Pronounced: STEEV-Én (English), STEF-Én (English) [key]
From the Greek name ΣÏεÏÎ±Î½Î¿Ï (Stephanos) meaning "crown". Saint Stephen was a deacon who was stoned to death, as told in Acts in the New Testament, and he is regarded as the first Christian martyr. Due to him, the name became common in the Christian world. It was popularized in England by the Normans.
This was the name of kings of England, Serbia, and Poland, as well as ten popes. It was also borne by the first Christian king of Hungary (10th century), who is regarded as the patron saint of that country. More recent bearers include British physicist Stephen Hawking (1942-) and the American author Stephen King (1947-).

BRIANA
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English
Pronounced: bree-AN-É, brie-AN-É [key]
Feminine form of BRIAN
.... kay, time to search my dad's name...
BRIAN
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Irish, English, Ancient Irish
Pronounced: BRIE-Én (Irish, English) [key]
The meaning of this name is not known for certain but it is possibly related to the old Celtic element bre meaning "hill", or by extension "high, noble". It was borne by the semi-legendary Irish king Brian Boru, who thwarted Viking attempts to conquer Ireland in the 11th century. He was slain in the Battle of Clontarf, though his forces were decisively victorious. The name was common in Ireland before his time, and even more so afterwards. It came into use in England in the Middle Ages, introduced by Breton settlers. It subsequently became rare, but was revived in the 20th century.

PHOEBE
Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Greek Mythology (Latinized), Biblical, Biblical Latin
Pronounced: FEE-bee (English) [key]
Latinized form of the Greek name Φοιβη (Phoibe), which meant "bright, pure" from Greek ÏÎ¿Î¹Î²Î¿Ï (phoibos). In Greek mythology Phoibe was a Titan associated with the moon. This was also an epithet of her granddaughter, the moon goddess Artemis. The name appears in Paul's epistle to the Romans in the New Testament, where it belongs to a female minister in the church at Cenchreae. In England, it began to be used as a given name after the Protestant Reformation. A moon of Saturn bears this name (in honour of the Titan).
And THAT is why I want my name is be Phoebe.
