Hi,
Claire,
This is interesting, i had always following the accepted wisdom that the meaning of the name was "Oath to God" and that
John the Bapists'mother was the most famous person to bare this name.
In Hebrew what was
John's Mother then? and what is the meaning of her name?
A point i'm often confused on is, Hebrew/ Aramayic (spelling?). I understand that
Jesus' language was Aramyic, so where does Hebrew fit in with language, did it exist side by side with it or was it later?
Right, having said - on a different subject, with you being French i was wondering if you might be able to throw any light on a few French names and there meanings, that i can seem to resolve, namely:- "Godet". "Magnol", "Gondree", "Benou" "
Ran" Any help would be very much appreciated with regards "Bagpus"
