I'm named after a young girl that used to follow my dad's group of soldiers in Germany. They all said that she was around 10 and had been orphaned. They fed her, gave her blankets and basically took care of her.

Thank you for that site . I never knew what my name meant .My name is Narda and all I knew is that my mom used to read a comic strip called "Mandrake the Magician" and she read it every day(I checked on line and it is still going) and Mandrake was inlove with "Princess Narda" and that is where my name came from. The site you mentions that my name means radiant in Arabic..cool I did not know that!

My name is Mary. Here is the meaning:

Usual English form of Maria, which was the Latin form of the New Testament Greek names Μαριαμ (Mariam) and Μαρια (Maria) - the spellings are interchangeable - which were from the Hebrew name מִרְיָם (Miryam). The meaning is not known for certain, but there are several theories including "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", and "wished for child". However it was most likely originally an Egyptian name, perhaps derived in part from mry "beloved" or mr "love".This is the name of several New Testament characters, most importantly Mary the virgin mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene. Due to the Virgin Mary this name has been very popular in the Christian world, though at certain times in some cultures it has been considered too holy for everyday use. In England it has been used since the 12th century, and it has been among the most common feminine names since the 16th century. The Latinized form Maria is also used in English as well as in several other languages.
This name has been borne by two queens of England, as well as a Queen of Scotland, Mary Queen of Scots. Another notable bearer was Mary Shelley (1797-1851), the author of 'Frankenstein'. A famous fictional character by this name was Mary Poppins, from the children's books by P. L. Travers.

Being a Catholic, I was named for a saint.
I dimly recall she is the patron saint of ice skating - something I no longer do.
It is also my Mother's name; I think of myself more as being named in her honor.

Linda means "beautiful."

This is mine also!

Joanne - feminine version of John, which means "Yahweh is gracious". One of my brothers and my son are named John, as were both my grandfathers.
