ROSS
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'. -

ALAN
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Scottish, Breton
Pronounced: AL-ən (English)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.

"Peter, you are the rock on which I shall build my church..."
A quote from Christ (read the Bible) that was a pretty good pun, but it has lost all of its humour in the English translation !

One could get into a whole religious debate about Christ said in Matthew 16:13-16, but suffice it to say. . .Pete. . .It's a good Name.
-
Yes, Pete. You could have been called Cuthbert. It might mean couth and bright, but that's pretty poor compensation...or Everard "hard (strong) as a wild boar"...big deal.

My first name is pretty self-explanatory, but my surname (Barkess) is Dutch or Norse I believe. The spelling has changed a lot over the centuries: Barcus, Barkas, Barkass are all evident somewhere on the family tree, but it is definitely distinct from "Barker", a well-known English name which is derived from either Middle English (tanner of leather), Old French (shepherd), High German (man who lived on a mountain) or modern English (man who sells fork handles).
It's fairly common in a small area in the north of England, Tyne and Wear, but almost unheard of elsewhere- I think there's less than 10 individuals with the name Barkess in my homeland Scotland and I'm pretty sure I'm the only one in Sweden. Having said that, I was told that it meant the skipper of a canal barge in Dutch and "barkass" means a longboat in modern Swedish so it's possible it was originally a Nordic name. Either way, I believe the name first appears in the North of England only about 400 years ago so there's no vikings on my father's side, but my mother's family was from the North of Scotland in Aberdeenshire where many vikings "settled" so you never know, maybe Sweden is my homeland after all.

No, I shorten it to "Phil" because I don't love horses. "Phil" is greek for love... one of quite a few different words for love, actually.
If I had been able to choose I'd have been something like Phillip Prince De La MacO'senson and I'd have hailed from Fieldlandvilleburgtontownabad.
