When I was born, my parents had not yet decided how to call me, my father's aunt called him on the phone and said "Saverio is a beautiful name" and hung up. Then my father decided to add a second name Werther.
Saverio is the Italian adaptation of the Spanish name Xavier, derived from the Basque name of the locality Etxeberri or Jaberri, composed of extremes, 'casa' and da berri, 'new', meaning therefore 'new house'.
The name Werther has Germanic origin that has spread in the literary field since the end of the 18th century, in particular after the publication of the novel 'The Sorrows of the Young Werther' by Goethe in 1774. It derives from the word wertheri and translates as' protector of the army '.

My maternal grandmother's name is Anna and she wished ones of her nieces to be called like her, so my mother, to make her happy, decided to call me Anna; but my mother didn't like just Anna much, so she added the name Lisa next to Anna.
Anna means “favor, grace” and Lisa, hypocoristic of Elisabetta, means “the Lord is an oath”, which therefore assumes the meaning of “the one who has received the grace ".
My family name Mirabello is very common in my region. It has French origins, diffused in the 14th century, when a french knight arrived in sicily together with the queen Eleonora d'Angiò.

One day when my mother was pregnant with me, my older sister watched a movie and there was a girl who was named „Diana“. My sister liked the name very much. So she told my mum that her baby sister should named like this. My mother likes it too, but she wanted a different form of spelling and so I was named „Dajana“. Years later we found out it is a common name in Croatia.
It seems like my name is a variation of the english name „Diana“. For a long time I didn’t like this fact because I was at primery school when Lady Diana died and everybody made fun of me based on my name.  But now it is fine and the meaning isn’t that bad. In greek the name means „divine“or „the goddess of the moon“. About my last name „Gertoberens“ I can’t say much. It isn’t very common. In Germany there are just a few families with this name and I don’t know if there are more in other countries. But I know the spelling and pronounciation seem quite difficult :)

When I was born my mother wanted to give me name after her own mother and that is Anna. I have been told that my father wanted to add Maria to it because Anna Maria sounded so pretty to him.
In Latin and Greek Anna means "grace" or "graciousness", also "favour".
Maria is, obviously, well known for Virgin Mary.

Funny enough, that carefully planned beautiful name hasn´t been used for decades! Quite soon my family started to call me Maija. In English it is written Maya. In hindu philosophy Maya means "illusion" and the similar-sounding Japanese name Mayu means "truth" or "reason". In Nepali language Maya means "love" (which is wonderful!)  and in Maori language it means "courage" or "bravery".
Frankly, I am surprised how common and world wide used name Maija (with its different written forms) is and how many meanings it has in different cultures and languages!
So, even though I kind of lost my first given-name the name that came along seems pretty nice too :)
My family name "Koski" is very common Finnish name and word means rapids. Finland is known for it´s thousands of lakes and rivers and there  plenty of rapids too.

Some 40 years ago, my father wanted to name me Leena. When I was in school I didn't like my name and wanted to change it. Over time I started liking my name though, even my second name Kaarina .
The name Leena has evolved in different languages as a variation of several earlier names. In some derivations, Leena comes from the endings of Alina and Helena. Leana is seen in Persian and Hindi and Lena in Swedish.
The name has several meanings. In Arabic languages, it means "generous and kind". In Latin, it mean "she that allures". In Greek, it means "sunlight" and "moonlight". In Persian it means "light", "sunlight" or "pretty girl". In Hebrew, it means "a lady from the city of Magdala". The name Leena is a male Irish baby name. In Irish the meaning of the name Leena is "wet meadow" :)

My first name "Mareike" is a local german dialect for the name "Maria", the mother of Jesus. In the Christian tradition this name is a symbol for "deep and pure love". The name "Maria" is of hebrew origin. A different meaning of the name might be "the bitter/ mirjam" coming from the ancient aramean language or "the loved one/mry" in egyptian.
My second name "Ruth" was given to me in honor of my father's mother who passed away when he was at young age. The name "Ruth" is a biblical name, the great-grandmother of King David. Ruth is a name based on the hebrew word re'ut (רְעוּת) which means friend, friendship or companion.
My family name "Richter" is the german word for the profession "judge". It is found mainly in the east of germany, where my father's family is from. There it was often given to the church warden of a community making it a common Name.
