It is of Persian origin and can be a boy's or a girl's name, in Germany, where I was born, it is only given to girls. My elder sister was watching a TV spot for some detergent where they were talking about the lovely fragrance of Jasmin flower, and she then convinced my parents that this was the perfect name for her little sister. If I had been a boy, my mother would have chosen my name, she wanted to call me Alexej (she was a big Dr. Schiwago fan at those times - sorry für my wrong Russian spelling...). My Italian father of course wanted to give me his mother's name, Vincenza, but in the end my sister "won". Yet there is a nice connection between my name and my father's Sicilian origin, because in Sicily, you can smell the perfume of Jasmin flowers everywhere, in Italian it is called Gelsomino. So it reminds me of the hot and dry summers in Sicily, that's why the sound of my name is the chirping of the crickets - a little bit like the whistling frogs in my Guadeloupe garden...

The Lithuanian language uses traditional Indo-European masculine endings (-as, -is, -us) for boys’ names, while almost all Lithuanian girls’ names end in the vowels -a or -ė. Why? Basically, there has been very little outside influence on the Lithuanian language, leaving it unchanged for centuries.

Origin and meaning Lonneke.

Lonneke is derived from Luna. Luna is a maiden name that comes from Latin. It means 'moon'. It was also the name of the Roman moon goddess. This goddess was also called Selene in Greek mythology. She was the eternal virgin because the Greeks and Romans believed that the moon symbolized purity and chastity. It is also possible that Luna is a variant of Luntsje. This name has since fallen into disuse. It is a variant of Apollonia, a Greek name with the meaning 'belonging to Apollo'. Apollo was the Greek god of light, later also of poetry, music and medicine.

My birthday is 7 November ‘72
