    mine is simple but not boring.

    from the Gens Julia, which claimed to be descendant from trojan hero Aeneas, and was one of the originary gentes of Rome.
    i think it suits me well being born in Asia Minor , and then having moved to italy.

    It's always very interesting to see the history of our names from all the way back to their roots in ancient times to their various modern cognates as they have been adopted and transformed by various different cultures through the ages.

    My first name was already mentioned, but I take preference in the "spear of god" Anglo-Saxon interpretation.

    My second given name means "famous battle", it is of Western Germanic origin. It's a very popular/common name in much of Europe and disapora.

    My first family name is of Asturian-Galician origin, it means "of the sea", "mariner". Hence my user name in this forum.

    My last family name is of Anglo-Saxon origin, it means "skilled & artful" and is also an homage to a firgure of Anglo-Saxon/North Germanic mythology.

    It's an adaptation of Ovid/Ovidius, the famous Roman poet who was exiled to Tomis (now Constanta, where my mom's family was from), on the Black Sea coast for offending Augustus I believe. Not really sure what the name itself means. I don't even go by my first name since that sounds weird in North America, but rather Nick, which is an Anglicized derivative of my middle name Nicolae, from the saint. And that name is ultimately of Greek origin, being a compound of νίκη nikē 'victory' and λαός; laos 'people'.
    The worst potential competition for any organism can come from its own kind. The species consumes necessities. Growth is limited by that necessity which is present in the least amount. The least favorable condition controls the rate of growth.

    Memory never recaptures reality. Memory reconstructs. All reconstructions change the original, becoming external frames of reference that inevitably fall short.

    Historians exercise great power and some of them know it. They recreate the past, changing it to fit their own interpretations. Thus, they change the future as well.

    Those who would repeat the past must control the teaching of history.
