I'm not sure what is meant by "original" names but I too have a different name. My parents may have named me "Jennifer" which according to Wiki Answers means:
1. White Wave
2. smooth; white; fair
3. Fair one. It is a variant of the name Guinevere, who was King Arthur's queen.
4. "gift from God".

...But my Indian name is Fire Dancing Turtle. Native American's receive their names in many different ways. In Visions, dreams, by trusted Elders, by their deeds. My name came in a vision while I was staring at the stars. My vison had a turtle, standing on 2 feet, crossing a fire pit like a fire walker does and exiting a cave. Since uncontroled fire is my greatest fear, my name is talking about how I try to fight through my fear to make it to the other side and out into the light.

...quite interesting since now I am a Fire Keeper of the Sacred Fire for powwows. :) A rare thing for a woman, let alone a white woman. I'm not native by birth but by marriage. (similar to being a convert)

The original Gaelic spelling of my name is Ceilidh, which is a traditional social gathering in Ireland and Scotland. Wikipedia says the word is derived from a word meaning "companion". It also means "the heir/descendant of Caollaidhe", which is the name of an Irish clan. But I'm not, as far as I know lol.

I found some sites saying it means "pure" also, but I don't know how accurate that is.


Its other origin is Scandinavian, the name Marja means "sadness from the sea". Originally name Marja comes from name "Maria".

That's really pretty.

"Abdul Wahab is a beautiful name , my father loved this name too much , he would call me with my full name . I like my name"

It's a good name, al hamdulillah, brother Korai. I also call my son Ahmed - I don't like the nicknames people associate with his name - I hate the name "Hamada"!!

Really interesting - I would never have known how to pronounce Ceilidh! You've taught me something new, thanks.
