It is mentioned several times in the Quran and was my grandmother’s idea even though we’re not Muslims.

  My last name is Abasi and I could be a descendant of Reza Abbasi, in Persian, ca. 1565 – 1635. He was the leading Persian miniaturist of the Isfahan School during the later Safavid period, spending most of his career working for Shah Abbas I.  Reza Abbasi is considered to be the last great master of the Persian miniature, best known for his single miniatures for muraqqa or albums, especially single figures of beautiful youths.

Jean means god is gracious and is the French version of John. Paul is the name of a biblical apostle and means little or humble. Although my name sounds French, I have no connection to France in any way. My surname is probably derived from an old Dutch verb: opdiggelen. This means as much as 'refurbishing something' (or someone ;-) ).

People call me Bianca which means ‘white’ in Italian (Blanca). Though I am not a big fan of my first name Carina, I am proud of what it stands for: warrior.  I was born five weeks early and the doctors feared for my life but no cliffhanger there of course … you know I survived ;).  I suppose I live(d) up to the name my parents chose for me. ]]> 2017-06-22 13:45:22 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/ztdb2esv50y0/wish/177207573 Hester van der Hoek https://padlet.com/rita100/ztdb2esv50y0/wish/177207660 My parents named me after my fathers' sister.For at least four generations the women in my family are called Hester Maria.

However, my parents did not pick it based on its symbolic meaning. Still, it is something to aspire to. ;) I kid, of course.

Baan, on the other hand, has no lofty meaning and is simply translated as 'job' or 'lane' (in the meaning: bicycle lane). This meaning has often caused my name to be used as the butt of jokes.

So that's my name: short.]]> 2017-06-27 10:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rita100/ztdb2esv50y0/wish/177540627 Eva Arnal https://padlet.com/rita100/ztdb2esv50y0/wish/177731205 In Hebrew, the name Eva means - Life.
