What does your name mean?

David
From the Hebrew name דָּוִד (Dawid), which was probably derived from Hebrew דוד (dwd) meaning "beloved". David was the second and greatest of the kings of Israel, ruling in the 10th century BC. Several stories about him are told in the Old Testament, including his defeat of Goliath, a giant Philistine. According to the New Testament, Jesus was descended from him.
This name has been used in Britain since the Middle Ages. It has been especially popular in Wales, where it is used in honour of the 5th-century patron saint of Wales (also called Dewi), as well as in Scotland, where it was borne by two kings. Famous bearers include empiricist philosopher David Hume (1711-1776), explorer David Livingstone (1813-1873) and soccer player David Beckham (1975-). This is also the name of the hero of Charles ****ens' semi-autobiographical novel 'David Copperfield' (1850).
 
My name is spelt differently to how it usually is, so there are probably no sites that have a definition for my name lmao
 
The website told me this:
"Meaning unknown, probably of Celtic origin. Shakespeare took the name from earlier British legends and used it in his tragedy 'King Lear' (1606) for a treacherous daughter of the king. In the modern era it has appeared in the horror movie 'The Exorcist' (1973) belonging to a girl possessed by the devil."
My name is Irish and it means "little ruler".
 
It's from the Germanic name Willahelm, which is a combination of the words will, desire, + helmet. I'm a wishful helmet.
 
My name is Jacqueline, which means supplanter. My middle name, Marie, has a possible meaning of 'sea of bitterness.' These two names are not the best combination.
 
Fatima. It has religious significance; Fatima was one of Muhammad's daughters

I'm named after my aunt. I've never actually met her. I'm pretty far-removed from that side of my family

shoutarou is my chosen name, but names mean a lot in my culture
Sho/Shou means commander, general, and leader
Taro/Tarou: has multiple meanings but one is son, first born, and bright child :)
 
My name is hard to find a meaning for because it's commonly used as a nickname even though it's my full name. So whenever I look it up, it just tells me it's short for this name or that name. I did find one site that said my name could mean 'river' and I kind of like that, but I don't know how reliable it is.
 
The name Riley originated as a male name and since has become unisex. The original meaning was “valiant,” but it has since become “wood, clearing, or meadow”.
 
According to the website listed by OP, Emily is derived from the masculine Emil, which apparently means rival. So assuming the feminine version has the same meaning, rival I guess?

I can be competitive at times so it's kinda fitting I guess, if that website is even accurate.
 
my name (xara) means “princess”. i’ve known what my name’s meaning is my whole life, but according to this site, xara is apparently meant to be a gender-neutral name, which i did not know!
 
my name (natalie) originates from natalia. it apparently means natale domini which means christmas day in latin.
 
My real name has no meaning cause it's a modern one :mad: Another reason to dislike my name

However my chosen name, Jerico, is derived from Jericho, which according to another website, means 'city of the moon' in maybe Arabic or some language like that. Which I think sounds really cool, esp since I love moons and moon related things. It's a perfect name for me.

My online name, Stella-Io, has two very direct meanings, Stella meaning star and Io being a literal moon of Jupiter.
 
my name is of muslim origin and it means "princess, happiness & fragrance" 🙂
