If you want to know something about the popularity of your name, check THIS out! Type your name at the top and watch what happens!

p.s. Type slowly and watch closely! Very COOL!

Well, if I use the baby name look up site, this is what I get:
Stephanie - Greek from Stefanos = crown
Marie (middle name) - French = bitter sea
Jadzia - Polish = princess (daughter)
Alexander - Greek = protector of mankind (son)

But if I used the null site, my name means very sexy hot mamma. I think I like the second one better! :D

Not so fast Alexander. . .my name -- Sandy -- comes from the name Alexandra (from Alexander). I'd love to give Jinjit a big hug. . .but no romantic kisses. . . must mean something else, eh??? :) :)

Actually, it means "protector of mankind" pretty fitting actually :)

most of the hebrew translations I read here are far from the right ones. unless of course, there's another language called Hebrew that I am not familliar with.
