Why I should love my name more...

Hey there! It's been a while... How are things going right after the typhoon? I guess everyone's busy packing goods for donation. Filipinos are really rich by heart, and I must say few are those repulsive people who try to destroy the country's fertile image. ):

Enough of that. (:

It's really not what I want to share today. Yesterday, I was chatting with my cousin. We share things like sisters. We may not have the chance to grow together but every time we talk, it's like we never run out of things to say. (:

And so, this post is dedicated to you. Since you rooted the idea. 

It started when I asked her why did she name her baby Hayley Azalia. Then, she had this research from Google to find out. She posted the meaning on my timeline as well, along with it are the meaning of her name and her partner too! Sweet!

She posted:

Still can't sleep.. Funny how cuz Apz asked me why I ended up naming my baby girl Hayley.. Then I started to google, to find meaning of our names.. Hayley means grassland.. Azalia a unique name means spared by the Lord.. Then my name means youthful and a jewel.. And Jepoy's name is the most shocking revelation it means serous and will battle until death  Funny how our names reflect our personality we have to live with it and it's beautiful meaning..

I liked it. It's wonderful to know that some people are aware of such amazing thing as the meaning of our names. It simply means that we treasure what was given to us. 

Before, as I was told by my Aunt, my name came from the month from which my mom was born. And that's April. 30th of April is her birthday. And "Lyn" was my mom's nickname, from her name Catalina. Some call her "Lina" and some call her "Lyn". 

And ofcourse, from the reliable source comes the meaning of my name.

April.

The name April is a Latin baby name. In Latin the meaning of the name April is: Open. The month April; symbolizes spring.

And the "Lyn" name means;

The meaning of the name Lyn is 'pretty'. The baby girl name is an alternative form of the Spanish name Linda and the English name Lynn.

So HAPPY learning about my name's meaning. I'm not bragging about it but the moment that I've learned about it, it made me say, "Thank you Lord for letting me exist!"

How about you, what's the meaning of your name? (:
