I thought you were a Germanic Anglo-Saxon?

[1stLightHorse]

I thought you were a Germanic Anglo-Saxon?

Well, my surname is anglicised....So it literally could be either. There is a Gaelic explanation and a Germanic one for the name, both different meanings.

In old English (germanic), it would mean something like Cool lake or Cold lake.

[Shah-Jehan]

Well, my surname is anglicised....So it literally could be either. There is a Gaelic explanation and a Germanic one for the name, both different meanings.

So, your ethnicity is English or Irish?:confused:

[1stLightHorse]

English obviously, i said my surname was Anglicized. My surname isn't McSomething or O'Something, so it's not obviously Celtic, i was just discussing it with Uhtred jokingly. It's very English sounding though, but it's origin could be germanic or celtic.

Edit: Just because someone is Germanic in England, doesn't necessarily make them an anglo-saxon. Normans and Wikings landed too. Haplogroup I2 can literally come with any of these, but reaches its highest frequency in North Germany/South Denmark (i2b1, the nomenclature has changed now though as fire haired mentioned to me). Which is exactly where the ASJ's came from. So there's a good chance, but i'd need deeper clade testing.

[Shah-Jehan]

My direct paternal line is English. But just because someone is of English extraction doesn't mean they aren't celtic.
So, you're both Celtic and Germanic!:cool:

[Turkophagos]

Thomas is the Greek form of the Aramaic name תָּאוֹמָא (Ta'oma') which meant "twin". In the New Testament this is the name of the apostle who initially doubted the resurrected Jesus.

[Illancha]

Pretty certain this thread or at least a similar one exists.

Either way my name means "mountain ravine" in Chechen. It's a shame that the majority of Chechens nowadays actually have Arabic/Islamic names, but over the past few years I've noticed a return to tradition with more and more babies being given Chechen names. Let's hope the trend catches on.

Yes. It came from Greece to West Asia and then from West Asia to the rest of Asia. Wiktionary says it came from Greek to Arabic (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E1%BC%88%CE%BB%CE%AD%CE%BE%CE%B1%CE%BD%CE%B4%CF%8 1%CE%BF%CF%82#Ancient_Greek), but Persians don't pronounce words beginning with the /s/ sound. They pronounce "school" as "iskool". I think the Arabs say Al-Iskander, but wiktionary writes it as "Iskander" since al is an article in Arabic. But whatever the case is, it likely came from Arabic to Persian and then the Persian Iskander spread to the rest of Asia.

You are an absolute Idiot!

Iskender is an orientalized or West Asian version of the Greek name Alexander

It spread in Asia with Alexander the Great because Alexander the Great though being a conquerer or Invador is highly esteemed by alot of Asians
For example also by Jews who use the first name Alexander too because he helped some Jews at the time of his rule or something there is some
story behind it though don't remember what it was.

See my Wiktionary link. Alexander being a conqueror is what popularized it, but the name is an offshoot of Persian/Arabic, which in turn is itself an offshoot of Greek.

Cybele is not from the Greek pantheon of gods. The Mother Goddess has many local names associated with her various functions. The Great Mother of the Gods Cybele, also called the Pontic Mother. Subsequently, these personifications were adopted by various tribes and closely associated with them. Among them, the most popular is the name Cybele, which is of Phrygian-Thracian origin. She was honored in large parts of Asia Minor (around Mount Ida, in Lydia, Bithynia, Galatia), as well as in Thrace. In the old part of the city of Balchik, Bulgaria not far from the port, a temple of the Great Mother of the Gods Cybele was discovered. This is the only temple of the Mother Goddess in the eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula

Thanks for the info! I didn't knew you have a temple of hers in Bulgaria. Balcik is super close, maybe I can visit it soon.:D Your country has lots of interesting ancient settlements and reliques. Hope I'll visit the Valley of Thracian kings one day as well. You are right about the name "Cybele". Indeed she was honoured in Asia Minor in the beginning, her origins go back perhaps to Neolithic times.
However I was referring to my real first name's origin. If the thread is not about that, then my bad. Maybe alcohol got too much to my head.:D

[Nurzat]

my first name is unfortunately Christian, of Jewish origin, and my middle name is Christian of Greek origin.

I feel both these names are intruders, culturally, and alien to my region and DNA.

I would go for a neutral name inspired by nature, like the name of a tree or something (it's easier for girls to get flower names). these are very decent options to avoid Jewish and Greek origin Christian (religious) names.

alternatively I would go with a Muslim name, to troll the Orthodox people on here, as I live in quite a religious area
