    Was having one of those conversations with a friend today. You know the type, its all really weird topics of conversation. Anyhow, we got onto the meaning of our own names. Now this has got me thinking, what does your name mean?

    Now according to behind the name ny name means

    However I have also heard it is then derived from the Roman family name of Lux, meaning 'light'.

    The boy's name Kiran \k(i)-ran\ is pronounced keer-an. It is of Hindi and Sanskrit origin, and its meaning is "beam of light", especially 'sunbeam' or 'moonbeam.

    My name is incredibly boring. Adrian, or the Roman Hadrian, just means a man from Adria, which was a major port on the Adriatic sea, and now that the coastline has receded is rather small village.

    Adria just means Black Sands. Nothing macho or heroic for me then. :noidea:

    ADD - Miscellaneous Info for Carol

    Used in: English speaking countries

    Additional info: Carol was occasionally used as a boys' name in the early twentieth century, but it is almost exclusively feminine today. It may come directly from the Latin "Carolus," or it may simply be a shortened form of Caroline.

    ... and I always thought it was because I was expected nearer to Christmas!!!!!!
