This is what the site Talmidah provided gave me for "Justin"

Oh, I know your last name. But when I put in your first and last name into google, I didn't find you, that's all.

Japheth means, in order of popular meaning...

1) Expressive Light
2) Wide Spreading Light
3) Singing Mountain


Of course, I love the first one... but heck, I do weigh nearly 300 pounds and LOVE to sing... so who knows, maybe I am a singing mountain?

Well, it looks like the definition on SW's list is wrong. Maybe she'll come around sometime to fix it.

YADIN: (I'm too lazy to find a meaning for this one

I did a google search and only found this:

We can now turn to the individual pesukim. In what sense does Dan judge the people? Radak simply refers to Shimshon's role as a shofet. Rashi and Rambam agree that the verse speaks of Shimshon but translate "yadin" in a different way. They argue that "yadin" means "will take vengeance" (as in Devarim 32:36 and Tehillim 110:6) and not "will judge." According to this interpretation, the pasuk refers to Shimshon taking vengeance on the Pelishtim on behalf of the people. Perhaps they disagree with Radak because the biblical account of Shimshon does not include any judging in the judicial sense. Rashbam, who sees the passage as referring to Dan as a collective, agrees with Rashi's and Ramban's translation of "yadin."

Psst, Yafet....how much did you pay SonWorshipper to use 'handsome'?

 

[Talmidah]

Tal,

I guess putting the h after the p instead of before it helps

OK....14 hits came up, but how many of them refer to you?


Edited to add: I assume Terah is your sister?

 

[Henaynei]

Japheth means, in order of popular meaning...

1) Expressive Light
2) Wide Spreading Light
3) Singing Mountain


Of course, I love the first one... but heck, I do weigh nearly 300 pounds and LOVE to sing... so who knows, maybe I am a singing mountain?

let's see if we can make sense of this..... hmmm......

expansive, no sorry expressive, wide spreading mountain, light on the singing.....

yup - that sounds about right!!!!

{this from a lady whbo weighs nearly 300# herself and *used* to be a first soprano} go figure!

 

[simchat_torah]

Terah, yes... is my sister. Ironically, Terah is Hebrew for Abraham's father Of course, T E R A H is the correct spelling as well.

 

[The Thadman]

Mine's Tadai (in the more popular Latin version it's "Thaddeus").

If I were to have my legal name translated, however, it would probably be Malakh, as "Steven" (or originally Stefanos in Greek) means "Crowned one."

Peace!
