If this doesn't belong here please move it.
I dunno I was bored so I figured I'd do this. Just post your name and I'll find out what it means. Here's an example:
Name: Alana
Hawaiian: Two meanings ALANA: feminine of Alan "awakening."
ALANA: offering
Gaelic: ALANNA: "Rock" or "comely; beautiful." Also possibly a derivative of Old French Elaine (bright; shining) or Greek Helen (light). Variants include Alain, Alaina, Alaine, Alana, Alane, Alannah, Alayne, Alene, Aleyna, Aleyne, Alina, Alleen, Allena, Allene, Allyna, Alleynah, Alleyne, Allina, Allinah, Allyn, Lana, Lanah, Lanna, Lannah, Aleyna, Aleynah.
Irish: ALLENA: Feminine form of Allen, or Alan. Means either "rock" or "beautiful." Variants include Alana, Alanna, Alena, Alene, Allene, Alleyne, Allynn, Allynne, Allynn, Alynne.
I always knew my name was Hawaiian but I didn't know it was Gaelic and Irish. You may notice that my name has a meaning in three different cultures. I will post all of them. SOme of them will simply be variations of another name. Such as in Irish it's Allena and Alana is a variation of that name. My favorite is the Hawaiian name meaning for awakening. Not sure why. So go ahead and post and I'll reply as often as I can.
