My name Zephyr means "I was very unoriginal when naming an OC like 5 years ago and stole a name from a fanfic I remember reading in the past and people started to associate me with the OC so I adopted their name as my own and now it's sort of stuck like a second name."
From the Greek name Αικατερινη (Aikaterine). The etymology is debated: it could derive from the earlier Greek name ?Εκατερινη (Hekaterine), which came from ?εκατερος (hekateros) "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess HECATE; it could be related to Greek αικια (aikia) "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". In the early Christian era it became associated with Greek καθαρος (katharos) "pure", and the Latin spelling was changed from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this.
I've always heard the pure bit, but I like the torture bit a lot more.
Apparently my name means "Remembered by God/the Lord" and that it has to do with a prophet. I looked it up more, and it says that its origin is with Hebrew in the name זכריה (Zechariah). People with the name are usually creative and caring people who tend to be leaders, and not followers. They make great leaders, but can be quite stubborn at times, but they are make it up in their kindness.
Prophet, stubborn, creative, kind, that's all me. Except for the leader bit, I don't understand where that comes into play. Pretty scary accurate though, to say the least.
"Feminine form of the Latin name Delphinus, which meant "of Delphi". Delphi was a city in ancient Greece, the name of which is possibly related to Greek δελφυς (delphys) "womb"."
I'd always been told it came from dolphin and I knew about the city of Delphi, but I never knew about the possible Greek meaning.
