Bear Bibeault wrote:Deja vu! (I think we've had this conversation already).
In any case:
Bear: heavy-set, hairy, tendency to growl when riled.
Bibeault: nickname for a heavy drinker, from a derivative of Latin bibere ‘to drink’.

Monu Tripathi wrote:Sonu - Monu is a common nick name given to children here in India. My elder brother was named Sonu so I became Monu.

@Monu.
I would translate Darya as Ocean rather than Sea. Samundar, Sagar would indicate Sea better. Think of it as the difference between War and Batttle.
Maneesh Godbole wrote:Also, Tripathi indicates one who has learnt and understood the three Vedas.It is not just reading and writing.In ancient times, your ancestors would be the ones whom people went to learn these Vedas, they being the final authority.

Pushkar Choudhary wrote:From google, I found:
Pushkar: 'a lotus that blooms in mud' or 'Like the blue lotus'
Means "treasurer" in Persian. This name was traditionally assigned to one of the wise men (also known as the Magi, or three kings) who were said to have visited the newborn Jesus. It has occasionally been used in the English-speaking world since the Middle Ages. The name can also be given in reference to the English word for the gemstone.
Thanks & Regards, Sumeet

Rebecca Hopper wrote:My first name (Rebecca) is in the Old Testament, but I read somewhere that it isn't Hebrew, they think it may be Persian in origin. Nobody knows what it means.
My last name, I always thought it had something to do with growing hops or harvesting hops, but it may not be English. I am part English, but also part German and lots of other nationalities, and have not been able to trace that branch of my family back far enough to know where they came from. It may have come from the Netherlands, as Hoppe, and the "r" was added later. I don't know what Hoppe means, though.
And no, I am not related to Grace Hopper, unfortunately.
