          Gender: Masculine
          Usage: English, Biblical
          Pronounced: MATH-yoo (English) [key]
          English form of Ματθαιος (Matthaios), which was a Greek form of the Hebrew name מַתִּתְיָהוּ (Mattityahu) meaning "gift of YAHWEH". Saint Matthew, also called Levi, was one of the twelve apostles. He was a tax collector, and supposedly the author of the first Gospel in the New Testament. As an English name, Matthew has been in use since the Middle Ages.

          Well I knew most of that except that I am a tax collector so beware guys. 😄

              about Coen i found this
              Coen
              Irish: variant of Coan, or an alternative Anglicization of Gaelic Ó Cúáin or Ó Cadhain (see Coyne).
              Dutch and Jewish (Ashkenazic): variant spelling of Koen.

                EEVA
                Gender: Feminine
                Usage: Finnish

                Finnish form of EVA

                EVA
                Gender: Feminine
                Usage: Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, English, German, Dutch, Scandinavian, Czech, Bulgarian, Slovene, Russian
                Other Scripts: Ева (Bulgarian, Russian)
                Pronounced: E-vah (Italian, Spanish), EE-və (English), E-fah (German), AY-vah (Dutch) [key]

                Latinate form of EVE, and a variant Russian transcription of YEVA.

                EVE
                Gender: Feminine
                Usage: English, French, Biblical
                Pronounced: EEV (English), EV (French) [key]

                From the Hebrew name חַוָּה (Chavvah), which was derived from the Hebrew word חוה (chavah) "to breathe" or the related word חיה (chayah) "to live". According to the Old Testament Book of Genesis, Eve and Adam were the first humans. She gave the forbidden fruit to Adam, causing their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Despite this potentially negative association, the name was occasionally used during the Middle Ages. In the English-speaking world both Eve and the Latin form Eva were revived in the 19th century.

                or: Breath of Life, "living one", "alive, living". could be worse...

                ALIVE AND KICKING! 😍

                    I haven't a clue. It could be Gaelic, it could be Germanic via Breton "Precious"; it could even be from the ancient Sarmatian tribe the Alani that spread out from Iran around the Black Sea area. No one knows for sure.
                    My last name, though Scottish, probably has its origins (via the Normans) in the French word for strawberry (fraise). It forms part of one of the clan crests.
                    It comes from one of William's barons who was famous for his strawberry daiquiris.

                    ...and it's pronounced FRAY ZER, not FRAY SHURE. However you want to pronounce Frazier (almost unknown in the UK) over the other side of the pond is up to you. 😉

                      Origin: Scotland
                      Pronounced: Rosssss
                      Meaning: I don't know if I should tell you this or not... Traditionally "Ross" as a given name was given to baby boys who were unusually well endowed if you get my drift. So in other words it means "hung like a horse". The clan Ross were descendants of a well-hung leader.

                      MACINTOSH
                      Origin: Scotland
                      Pronounced: Mac-In-Tosh
                      Meaning: Clan name. Descendants of Tosh. Tosh, our glorious ancestor, was a reggae singer from Jamaica. He worked with Bob Marley.
                      Clan Motto: "Touch not a cat bot a glove" -- meaning is 'wear gloves when you handle cats'.

                        From a Scottish and English surname which meant "promontory" in Gaelic, originally belonging to someone who lived on a headland. A famous bearer of the surname was Sir James Clark Ross (1800-1862), an Antarctic explorer.

                        The meaning of this name is not known for certain, though it possibly means either "little rock" or "handsome" in Breton. Alternatively, it may derive from the tribal name of the Alans, an Iranian people who migrated into Europe in the 4th and 5th centuries. This was the name of several dukes of Brittany, and it was introduced to England by Breton settlers after the Norman conquest. Famous modern bearers include Alan Shepard (1923-1998), the first American in space and the fifth man to walk on the moon, and Alan Turing (1912-1954), a British mathematician and computer scientist.

                          I have a Chinese name, too, though I haven't thought about it in years. (My wife is Chinese-American.) I'm afraid I don't have the character written anywhere, or actually know how to draw it...I think it might even be a non-Mandarin dialect.

                          I'll have to ask my father-in-law to write it for me again.

                          It is pronounced similar to the English name "Lou" and means destruction.

                            Phillip is Ancient Greek and means "lover of horses". 😕 So I shorten it to Phil.

                            Prince means prince.

                            Meadows is english and means "lives in the meadow".

                            So I'm a prince who loves horses so much he lives with them
