Semitic names are the most beautiful. The Semites influnced the world and civilization at large, proud to be paritally Semitic, I carry a Semitic name with pride, however my middle name and surname are not.

Well... we were uncultured and unsophisticated till the Crusaders came along.Thats why we had usual names with meanings, like in every animist culture.
However, I think most traditions started out with names with meanings. I dont know so well but for example there is a Swedish name "Björn" which means "bear".
Here are a few more: Lilli (flower), Luule (poem), Ilma (weather, world) Vilja (crops).
However most popular names are some form of modifications of German and Scandinavian names. (Andres, Andrus, Signe, Liis, Merit, Kadri, Kristi)

On utilise pas plusieur lettres pour produit les voix comme vous faites en Français. Par example, si nous voudrons adopter le mot "quest-ce que c'est" en Turquie, nous voudrons l`ecrire comme "kesköse". Court et facile, alors le mot "honneur" transformer comme "onur" en Turquie

Well, you should know what i am talking about. Talvi counted several names and i can count 100s of names used in Turkey about animals, nature. I don't think there are as many as we have in Italy because both pagan and christian greco-roman culture belittles animals and natural wonders. Both beliefs were human-centric egoistic in nature. Greco-Roman pagans did sculptures in human form to express the beauty of it and semitic religions claimed that humans are the most important being in the world and all others has been created by God to serve to the human kind but no other purpose.
On the other hand, Eurasian shamanist, druidic, naturalist cultures adored animals and admired them. They regarded them as better than humans, more powerful and more beautiful. They identified themselves with them like adopting symbols like wolves, lions etc. They also gave extra importance to natural habitat they lived in.

Many people in Serbia have slavic names, or greco-slavic like me. Semitic names sometimes appear, I would say often in the most religious part of the population (but it is not exclusive to them).
