Carve Me A Bear! Chainsaw Carvings Explains Why A Name Is So Important & What It Means
I Have So Many Names!: When you a born you are not given a single name and sent home to your family like you might a dog or goldfish. A person is given several names that each have their own meaning. The first name of a person can be chosen by the parent because of the popularity at that particular time. They may also choose a name based on a loved family member that is living or past on. Another reason that they choose the first name they simply just love the name and the uniqueness. Your first name can be really important or just a fun name depending on your parents reasoning. Some people choose to give a middle name following the first name and will add to the name. This is not always used but just like the first name it can be important or just a name that helps with the flow of the name. Lastly you are given a surname. This is not a name that you choose but it is inherited by your family lineage. That is why your last name is often the most important part and will link you to your family throughout all generations. If you are a Senior or Junior you may even have a suffix that follows.
Significance of Surnames: When it come to your last name or your surname there are good reasons that this name is the most important part. It is the part of the name that people wear with pride. A surname comes from your birth parent whether the father or mother and is the name that was sent down to them. The last name follows a male through the entire line and stays with a woman until they change their name at marriage. They are still part of that family and will use the birth surname as their maiden name. Your surname has connotations that help people to know what region and area you are most likely originally from. Names are common to particular parts of the world in spelling and annunciation. You can often trace back your lineage with a simple last name check!
