Where does your name originate from?

[Torey]

I was bored last night so I decided to find out where my first and middle names came from. I thought it was pretty cool so I thought I'd make a thread so people could post where their names came from. Here's mine.

Victoria = Latin
Eileen = Celtic/Gaelic.

www.babynames.com is a good way to find out where your name originates from.

Okay here's my -beautifull - name

Aurélie=latin, comes from Marcus Aurelius. So my name is a french-inised(That doen't exist as a word, does it?) version of Aurelia. I prefer Aurelia though, more italian, and that's how my latin teacher used to call me ;D (to clarify: he was really cute and very young too )

meaning: gold, or sun

Okay, I like this thread. I actually know already what my name comes from...

Rebecca: "Bound" or "Servant of God" (depending on the translation, it basically means Bound to God) (Hebrew)
Gayle: Offshoot of Gail which is an offshoot Abigail which means "God is Joy" (Hebrew)
