14 more Names
I missed posting for the 13th by 30 minutes, so I'm combining Monday's post with Tuesday's. Enjoy!
Girls
Nike - Greek, meaning 'victory'.
Odette - French form of Odo, which comes from a German word meaning "possessor of wealth".
Parthenia- Greek, from 'parthenos' meaning "maiden" or "virgin". It was used to refer to Athena, goddess of wisdom - the Parthenon in Athens was her temple. Parthenia is pronounced "par THEE nee uh".
Quinn - English version of the Irish last name O Cuinn, which means "descendant of Conn", which means "chief".
Rowan - English form of the Irish last name " O'Ruadhán ", which means "descendant of Ruadhán", which comes from the name Ruadh, which means "red" and is often a nickname given to someone with red hair. The rowan tree gets its name from the Old Norse word "reynir", derived from the German "ruad-inan" which means "to redden". Some people may use Rowan in reference to the rowan tree rather than the Irish surname. Both seem to have essentially the same meaning.
Came across this blog, Beneath the Rowan Tree, that seemed appropriate to share here. Adorable crafts for sale, such as crocheted clothes for dolls, such as a mermaid outfit, or dyed fabrics.
Shiloh - Hebrew, meaning "tranquil".
Tamar - Hebrew, meaning "palm tree".
