What does your name mean?

[Diane_Windsor]

Diane is derived from Diana:

Probably derived from an old Indo-European root meaning "heavenly, divine", related to dyeus (see ZEUS). Diana was a Roman goddess of the moon, hunting, forests, and childbirth, often identified with the Greek goddess Artemis. Diana Spencer, the Princess of Wales, was a famous bearer of this name.

Behind the Name

My surname is of German origin-there is actually a town in Germany that bears my name . I don't know if I have a connection with that town though. There are also some barons (von ____) that I share my name with. I don't know if I am related to them or not.

so, for those of us who are clueless, where do we find out what our names mean.

I know what my middle name means. it means I'm in trouble for something I did. At least, I only hear it when I'm in trouble, and it's usually my mother who's saying it.

Ian is Celtic/Gaelic and means "God is gracious."
