Andreas or Andres, short form Andi
meaning derived from Greek andros = man, human
pronunciation (pretty tricky)
Andreas
An = un (important)
dre = dread (long, vowel like 鈥檅ury鈥?but sharper)
as = us (he sees us)
Andres
An = see above
dres = see above (like he says, but sharper, higher)
You are welcome!
I would like to know how to say my name in german(Andrew) and any meanings?

Reply:I don't know much German, even though I'm part German. However your name gets translated, hopefully it will mean Andrew.
Reply:I think it means man. I'm not sure on the German version. My guess is Andre.

Do people really think about the meanings of names?
I was researching a question for someone and I saw some names that have become common and the meanings were not good. One was dog etc... When I named my kids I always checked meanings.
Just wondering
Do people really think about the meanings of names?
I find name meanings much more important than the name itself.
Even if it's a pretty name, why would you choose it if it has a horrible meaning?
Reply:not the first thing i think about. i would check before i decided on the name 100% and if it was something like dog i would consider not using it but its not big on my priority list. i think people are this way because not only is it hard to find a name they love with a meaning to match but most likely no one else but them is going to search the meaning of their kids name.
Reply:To be honest, no. I don't really care about the meaning of a name unless I'm writing a story and even then sometimes I don't look up the meanings.
I'm not going to not pick a name just because of the meaning. Like for example, I love the name Portia but I shouldn't use it because it means "pig"? No thanks.
Reply:people often pick name kids for these reasons: it's cute, it sound cool, no one has it, tradition all first male kids have dad's first name, week minded young couple giving into demands of parents / grand parents in naming kids, weak school systems graduating students who are below grade school reading level giving rise to misspelled or creative spelled kids names which make getting a better paying job impossible (victims of political correctness). it's better johnny feel good about himself than read or write at a high school level. can you spell cat johnny? "kaate". very good johnny!!!!!!!!! you get an A+++++
Reply:I think most people don't look at the meaning of a name. Sometimes, it becomes trendy during a certain decade to know the meaning. For the most part, I think most people just go by how the name sounds and if it appeals to them.
Reply:Haha no! I don't even know the meanings of my children's names! I will search them now and write them here:
Danielle (God is my judge) Morgan (Great circle)
Brady (Decedent of Bradant) Jack (Diminutive form of John)
Haha now i know!
Reply:I like to know what the meanings of name are, but one of my favorite names right now (Cameron) does not have a very god meaning (Crooked nose), but that wouldn't stop me from using it.
Reply:I think most people do , I looked up meanings before naming my three children if they had been bad I probably would have reconsidered my choices !

How do I go about finding the roots as well as the meanings of words and names.?
Where did the word yugoslavia come from , and what did it mean originally, and, what does it mean now.
Where can I find the derivation of words?
How do I go about finding the roots as well as the meanings of words and names.?
Your best resource is the Oxford English Dictionary. It can likely be found at any college or university library near your home, and as it is a reference book, you can look at it without being a student or faculty member. The reason this book is so useful is that it gives the roots of the word, when it was first used in the English language, its etymological roots, etc.
Reply:Research the science of Etymology.

Meanings of a name ( Marc Anthony or MarcAnthony)?
I am looking into a present for my friend and his name is Marc middle name Anthony. He says it is a biblical name, but I need more information on it. Where is it referenced in the bible and it what is the meaning of it? Is it traditionally used as 2 separate names or as one. I was thinking of including the meaning of the name(s) in the gift. Thanks

Is there any other meanings to these names?
Kevin and Nicholas
I know Kevin means:
Handsome; Handsome at birth.
Is there anything else it means?
I know Nicholas means:
Victorious; from the Greek Nikolaos, meaning victory of the people.
Is there anything else it means?
Is there any other meanings to these names?
You've pretty much got it!
Kevin comes from the old Irish name Coemgen -- coem means "kind, gentle, or handsome" and gein means "at birth." So in addition to meaning "handsome at birth," the name could also mean "kind and gentle at birth."
Nicholas means "victory of the people," just like you said.
Of course, names also have meaning in their historical and cultural context, so you may want to look up some famous Kevin's and Nicholas's to see what "meaning" their lives may have added to the names. (The name Nicholas was borne by a saint, five popes, and two Russian czars.)
I like the fact that you are using meaning to help you decide between your last two picks. That's a great idea when both names seem equally good to you; it often helps tip the scale a bit in one direction or the other. Good luck! I know this is a tough decision.
Reply:Nicholas: victory of the people
Kevin: handsome, beautiful
Yeah, so the meanings I found were basically the same as you came up with.
Reply:No, sorry.
It's like a chair mean it's a chair and a hairbush means it's a hairbrush. That's what that word means. If you're looking for a different meaning try a different word or name.
