Our you're the "Ruling Man of the close men/familiar", thus the "Ruler of the Clan".
Should go well with the Loroi....

Where are all the Smiths and Millers?

You mean "Famous Small Spear of the Meadow Settlement"
(you forgot to translate the "Jr.".... HaHa!)

My father suggested to me that my name more clearly would mean..

"Son of ~ Famous Spear of the Meadow Settlement" or "Famous Spear of the Meadow Settlement, Son"... a Warrior's name showing a heritage of warriors.

Junior was not used that way until the 13th century or so, so using only the older forms you would as far as I know be

(A) famous spear meadow wet hill, the younger (than that other famous spear meadow wet hill)

My name would either mean

Sole/alone rider/ruler/advisor Feet-place (or farm/seat).

Or (if my first name derives from the similarily spelled hungarian variant of andrew)

Man Feet-place (or farm/seat)

lol.. oh sorry.. hard to give a 'sense' of tone in a post...to be certain.. I did take it as a joke!

I only mentioned it in passing to my father and he apparently thought about it a few days and took it to heart.. just yesterday bringing the idea up with me again {snicker}.

I did not take your reply as anything other than a simple reply. Good we're on the same side then.

Good your father had a good reply, though!

1. Son of Mars / Soldier / Warrior
2. House + Mighty/Lord
3. Determination + Helmet or "equipped with"
4. Tailor or Beer/Wine Transporter

So, to be poetic and a bit liberal about it (like our dear friend Alex is):
The lord of the house, a mighty warrior, armored with determination, bringer of good wine and mead.

All lies and slander, as usual.

You mean: The wrecker of house with bravery from bottle?

What is to most a drunkard, is to a select few their best patron.

So, you are guard of legendary weapon. That is awesome.

Took me second...
At first i think "cool! someone have exact same name as me!" but it's just bot copy-paste my previous post!

"Honorable guardian of Greatclub"? Maybe "Keeper of respectable greatclub"?

Funny... the bots usually choose old posts in dead threads to copy.

Well, after about... oh, ten years' worth of lurking on this forum, I finally decided to make an account just to post here. (And I'll probably not post again for another ten years. )

First things first -- Arioch, I've been enjoying your work for the past ten years. I'm excited to see where the story goes from here!

Now, to this thread, here's the meaning behind my name:

First name: Talitha means "little girl" in Aramaic
Middle name: Alison means "kind, noble" in English (which is the diminutive form of Alice in French; Alice is the short form of Adelis -- also in French -- which is the short form of Adalheidis in German. Adalheidis is composed of adal -- "noble" -- and heid -- "kind, sort, type")
Last name: Chumley is a phonetic variant spelling of the name Cholmondeley, which comes from Old English name Ceolmund and leah; it means "woodland clearing"

So, my spoken/written name means "kind and noble little girl from the woodland clearing."

As an added bonus, I speak American Sign Language as my native language and therefore I have a signed name in that language. My signed name is created by combing the handshape for the letter T with the sign for HAPPY; my signed name means "happy."

If you combine my spoken/written name with my signed name, it means "kind, noble, and happy little girl from the woodland clearing."

Now that this fun little exercise is done with, I'm going back to lurking. Nice to meet you guys!

Well, hello, lovely little girl, that's apparently happy and kind!

That's a wonderful reason to sign up and post!
Thank you for sharing!
Watermist as handle also fits a girl from a woodland clearing.

I hope it won't take you another 10 years to find something to post here on.

Ironically your signed name is the closest equivalent we have to a spoken Loroi name on this forum.

Welcome to the forum, Watermist!

I second Krulle and Jericho, and add to it that, combined with your handle, your name could very well be that of a Loroi doranzer (doctor) or listel (science officer): "My spoken name means "Watermist", while my full sanzai name means "kind, noble, and happy little girl from the woodland clearing"".

Freeman what lives in the wood and works down mill, second of that ilk

I'm cheating, because I specifically changed my name to this after intensive research, but here goes:

Ferdinand Roslyn. Peaceful Journey[er]? [of the] Rose Valley/Meadow.

How Visigothic of you.
