Help[Opinions] Re: Naia
in reply to a message by CB
It seems to mean something in almost every language!
It can come from the Greek meaning 'to flow', African meaning 'purpose', Persian meaning 'flower' or 'blossom'..

Rumor has it it's also "dolphin" in Hawai'ian, and refers to the Naiads (Encyclopedia Mythica: "The Naiads were nymphs of bodies of fresh water... [who] presided over rivers, streams, brooks, springs, fountains, lakes, ponds, wells, and marshes."). Because of these two meanings I think of it as quite a watery name.
