okay, so i knew my name was Gaelic, but according to the website, my name means Princess. WTF?

we even have a "Name Your Baby" book at my house (i'm dead serious) from when my mom was looking for names. and according to this book, my name means "Raven-haired" or something along those lines. (i've looked it up in there before. some of the name meanings are interesting) come on, PRINCESS? what does that have to do with being raven-haired?

They don't have my name. Poos.

So I looked it up on google:

Meaning: Its source is Christiana, a Latin name meaning "Christ's follower."

 

Languages: This girl's name is used in Dutch.

 

Nickname For: Christina and Tina

 

Narrative: The influence of religion on names is evident throughout the world. For example, it is a tenet of Islam that the best names either refer to attributes of Allah or are derived from hamida, an Arabic word meaning ''praise.'' Names used on the Indian subcontinent often refer to the deities of Hinduism.

 

Though Christiana's direct refererence to Christianity is exceptional, names with ties to the West's predominant religion are far from unusual. Many Hebrew-derived names reflect Christianity's Jewish heritage. Greek- and Latin-derived names witness the church's early development in the Mediterranean basin. Finally, many Germanic and Gaelic names honor saints who spread Christianity throughout northern Europe.

 

Riiiight.
