windandwater... hence, I'm filling out a meme.
1. What does your first name mean?
It's a line of cosmetics. No, really. My mother was resting in her hospital room, when she saw the commercial. She thought the name was pretty. Hurm... but I just traced the origins and it says this:
AMABEL f English
From an Old French name which was derived from Latin amabilis "lovable".
But, if you take the nickname I use commonly, you get this:
MAY f English
Derived from the name of the month of May, which derives from Maia, the name of a Roman goddess. May is also another name of the hawthorn flower.
2. What does your middle name mean?
It's my mother's maiden name. It a Filipino thing. It's probably religious in some way, simply from the way the name is put together.
3. What does your last name mean?
It's Spanish in origin. "Something-King." I know how my family first arrived in the Philippines. It's sorta cool.
4. So what does your name mean when put together?
*blinks* Lovable religious king?
5. What would you have been named if you were the opposite gender?
I don't know, but it would probably still start with an "M."
6. Any other name oddities?
I was almost named Margaret. Thank god for television.
