Meanings of Names

Looking up the meanings of some names. Here was one that shocked the hell out of me:

Conan -- Gaelic; Wee Doggie, Dog, Hound, Wolf.

WEE DOGGIE! Conan the Barbarian, the Wee Doggie! He'd rip out your heart for calling him that, then he'd eat it while you bled out.


Adolf -- German; Noble, Majestic Wolf.


Barack -- Hebrew; Blessing, Valiant.
Hussein -- Arabic; Small, Good, Handsome.
Obama -- African; Crooked, Bent.

George -- Greek; Farmer.
Herbert -- German; Warrior.
Walker -- English; Walker (no shit!).
Bush -- English; Bush (no shit!).

First the Farmer Warrior with a Walker and a Bush, now the Valiant, Handsome, Crooked one.


Saul -- Hebrew; Prayed For, first king of Israel, the Hebrew name of the Apostle Paul.

And as you might know, Paul was a prolific writer and storyteller! Thus the nom de plume here.


- Saul
