Daniel is a masculine given name and a surname of Hebrew origin. It means "God is my judge"[6][7] (cf. Gabriel—"God is my strength"), and derives from two early biblical figures, primary among them Daniel from the Book of Daniel. It is a common given name for males, and is also used as a surname. It is also the basis for various derived given names and surnames.

My name is Steven, which means a garland or a crown. I don't think it carries any significance in my case. I think the general idea is that it typifies a quick mind, and carries a positive vibe overall.

Cornelia Cinna minor_94 BC-69 or 68 BC
Cornelia Cinnilla (c. 97 BC – 69 BC[1]), daughter of Lucius Cornelius Cinna (one of the great leaders of the Marian party), and a sister to suffect consul Lucius Cornelius Cinna, was married to Gaius Julius Caesar, who would become one of Rome's dictators. Cinna's political party was called the Populares, and his union with Cornelia identified Caesar with this faction.[2]
Caesar and Cornelia married in 84 BC.[3]
When Lucius Cornelius Sulla commanded Caesar to divorce Cornelia, the young husband refused to do so and chose rather to be deprived of her fortune and to be proscribed himself. Cornelia bore him his daughter Julia Caesaris, in c. 76 BC.[4]
Cornelia was the matron of Caesar's household in their home at the Subura in Rome for sixteen years. She died in 69 BC, during Caesar's quaestorship, and left him a daughter. Caesar delivered an oration in praise of her from the Rostra.[5]

Talas from Taliesin
In Welsh mythology, Taliesin is the son of Cerridwen, and god of the bards. The tale of his birth is an interesting one - Cerridwen brews up a potion in her magical cauldron to give to her son Afagddu (Morfran), and puts the young servant Gwion in charge of guarding the cauldron. Three drops of the brew fall upon his finger, blessing him with the knowledge held within. Cerridwen pursues Gwion through a cycle of seasons until, in the form of a hen, she swallows Gwion, disguised as an ear of corn.
Nine months later, she gives birth to Taliesin, the greatest of all the Welsh poets. Cerridwen contemplates killing the infant but changes her mind; instead she throws him into the sea, where he is rescued by a Celtic prince, Elffin (alternately Elphin).
One of the things that makes Taliesin different from many other figures in Celtic myth is that evidence shows that he really did exist, or at least that a bard named Taliesin existed around the sixth century. His writings still survive, and he is known as Taliesin, Chief of Bards, in many Welsh writings.

My name is Joan, in the Irish language is Siobhán.. which to my mind, is more acceptable, it sits with me as a personal feeling. My ancestry is Irish, the Irish translation, of my name, feels right for me. The English translation alas, is the anglicized name that has been given to me, it has always seemed strange to me, and not really my name.
It would be interesting to go back in time and ask our parents, why they have given us the names we live with.

This may be one of the most intriguing subjects I’ve stumbled upon yet. This has actually answered MANY of the questions I have been pondering for the last 12+ years of my life!!!
Now, as I’m rereading book 8 of The Wave series, I came across ‘Chapter 67: Food For The Moon And The Burning House’. On pages 132 and 133, there are actually portions from various sessions with the C’s that discuss the meaning of my last name that I had never known before.
My name is Chase Kelley. I am predominantly of Irish descent. And my name is more fitting than I could have ever imagined.
Etymologically speaking, the name Chase is pretty self explanatory. It simply means “to hunt/pursue.”
It’s my last name that throttled me.
Originally, I just thought that my last name meant “War/Warrior”. Which to me is still pretty accurate in accordance to the life I was given, but reading from the following session from April 4, 1998, there was more to my last name than I originally thought:
Well, if Laura didn’t just keep on paving the way for me to understand further… This is from session January 2, 1999:
And then one last time from the session on October 3, 1998:
And as Laura pointed out, the root for the word chalice is the Latin word, calix or calyx, which derives from the PIE root word kel.
So from my understanding, I was destined from birth via my very name to be “on the hunt” or “pursing” the Holy Grail!!!! Which explains why I’ve literally dedicated every aspect of my life to this. The Way of the Fool seems to be my birth rite.
But seriously, this brings so much clarity to me of my character, why I am the way that I am, and why I do and think in the ways that I do. I’m still fairly young in my quest, but it’s self discoveries such as these that leave us in awe of the way things work here in the Cosmos. It’s exciting for me, honestly!
I encourage everyone to do a little research into the meanings of their names. You never know what you might discover about yourself!

Benjamin
The Living Force
Just want to update this meaning a little bit.
'Benjamin' is derived from the northern Semitic 'Binu Yamina' which means 'son/s of the south'.
Nuska/u is a Mesopotamian god which means 'lord of the sceptre' and has a second meaning of 'lord of the south'. Nuska (sceptre) and the older Gibil (torch) are the same god and are represented as the constellation Canis Minor. A sceptre is carried in the right hand (the 'orb' in the left). On a Persian cylinder seal, the rooster stood, replacing the fire, on top of a lampstand which represented Nuska.
In China, there is the 'Vermilion Bird of the South' which is one of the Four Auspicious Beasts in Chinese astronomy. Canis Minor is one of a group of constellations along the ecliptic which are housed within the symbol of the Vermilion Bird.
'Benjamin' appears to mean, or partially mean, Canis Minor (!). 'Son/s' might be referring to a cometary breakup. Not sure about that though.
