Where do your family's names originate from?

[Mrsknackered]

See a lot on here about names 'matching' and whether it's acceptable to use names from completely different cultures. Got me thinking today, did you stick by any of those rules? I think are names all 'go' but are originally from completely different cultures, so for example:

DP's name is Latin
Mines Irish
DS1 is Hebrew
DS2 is Italian

If we had more, a boy would be Italian also, and a girl Arabic origins.

our names!

DH is Scottish
Mine is Italian/Russian/Indian (depending on who you ask)
DD1 & DD2 are Latin/Italian

Mine is French, I'm not French, middle name is Greek/Hebrew.
DH's is English, he's not English

We stuck by Latin first names and British middle names.
DS's is Aramaic, Spanish version and middle name is English.
DD's is Latin and middle name is English.
DS2's is Hebrew, Portuguese version and middle name is Greek, English version.
DS3's is Latin/Greek and middle name is Welsh.

Another boy would have two Greek names Nicolas (Nico) Christopher another girl I have no idea! Maybe something like Ana Claire, Anna Clara or Anna Luísa, so Latin/Hebrew I would think. Not going to happen though

Dh name is Scottish. Mine is Hebrew and DC1’s is German.

Dh is English, I’m Irish and dc1 was born in England.

German (me) Hebrew (DH) but both names in common use in the UK. DDs name is Italian in origin but most common in France I think.

I have 4 names, they are Russian, American, Italian and Spanish!

My mum would never have dreamed of having our names 'match' myself and 3 brothers have 3 middle names each and they're all a massive mixture.

Due a baby myself soon and it's not come into any decision making, I have an 'unusual' name and husband has a traditional name, baby (don't know if boy or girl yet) will have something in between. If boy there will be a Welsh middle name to honour DH's great grandfather.

Interesting question!

DH & DD are Latin.

DS & I are Greek.

All except perhaps DD feel very “English” by now though.

French

Me, DB, DM and DF all have Greek names. Completely coincidental!

Mine is Greek, DH's is probably Celtic (there's more than one theory), both DSs are Norman French.

Mine is an English variation of a French Provencal name
Dp has a Greek and Latin name
Ds has a Greek name
Dd has a Hebrew name

DS1 - Greek, but has been popular in Scotland for hundreds of years
DS 1middle - Hebrew, but also popular in Scotland for hundreds of years.

DS2 - Hebrew, but again popular in Scotland for hundreds of years
DS2 middle - Scottish

DD - Latin, but widely known. Variations in several languages.
DD middle - invented in the 1930s.

DH’s is Hebrew
DS1’s is Irish
DS2’s and mine are Scottish.

Dad - Celtic
Mum - Italian
Brother - Hebrew (seen it all over the world tbh)
DP - French? Also read that it's British
DD (Due May) - Either Cornish or English
Me: Gaelic

This has surprised me now I've checked! DH has two names and the rest of us three:

German Cantonese
Scottish Hebrew French
Greek French Cantonese
Welsh English Cantonese

DP is German
My first name is Latin and middle name is Latin
DD’s first name is German and middle name is Greek
Ds1’s first name is Irish and middle name is Latin
Ds2’s first name is English and middle name is English
Ds3’s first name is German and middle name is German

My mother gave me an Irish name, which is fine being that our family came from Ireland but I've lived in England from day one and spent 30 years correcting people and spelling it out, :(

DH has an English name.
I have an Irish-American name.
Future DS will have an Irish first name and a French middle name.
Future DD will have a Welsh first name and an Irish middle name.

My name is Russian (dad got it from a comic book...), OH's is Finnish (we live in Finland), DD's is Finnish but also International, baby-soon-to-be-born will have a Finnish name too but something that isn't too weird sounding to English speakers because otherwise my dad will murder the pronunciation.

Me - Greek form of a Biblical Hebrew name
DBs - one Biblical Hebrew (Greek form), one Germanic/Latin (different origins), one Germanic.

3/4 of us have family names (both first and middle), and the one who doesn't has a family middle name. All classic "British" names, though the two non-biblical are more prone to fall in and out of favour.

DP - Biblical Greek
DP's DB - Welsh

Both quite popular in Wales (they're Welsh!), one more prone to fashion than the other.

DS - Germanic, name more common in middle-aged men than babies, but we love it.
Future DD, if that happens, is likely to have a name derived from a Biblical Greek/Latin name. It would work with DS's name, but is a lot more popular.

I have a friend who hates mixing of origins like this, but they all work together.

Me - English (from French) feminine form of a Biblical name
Husband - English from Old English
Daughter - English from Hebrew (via the Greek and Latin forms of the original Hebrew name)

Me: Cornish
DH: Irish
DD1: French
DD2: Latin

Interesting!
