What's In a Name?

Friday, April 1, 2016


This year, my theme will be names. When you're a writer, you need a good range of names. However, I'll be exploring unusual names, their meanings, and asking you to share some uncommon ones you may know. Plus, I'll be sharing tidbits to do with names, so here goes … Today's names are … drumroll please …

Amala (f)  pure, origin – Sanskrit
Amara (f)  elegance, grace, origin – African
Asja (f)   resurrection; eastern sunrise, origin – American

Adrik (m)   dark – origin - Russian
Ayomide (m) Pronunciation: ah-yaw-MEE-deh - happiness is coming, origin - African
Azmera (m)  harvest, origin - Ethiopian

Have any 'A' names that would look good in a book? Do share!
