My father named me Shamine after the character "Chimene" that Sofia Loren played in the movie El Cid. However, as you can see my name is not spelled the way it was spelled in the movie. My named is pronounced as (Shi-mean). Although my father did not spell it the way it was spelled in the movie would I still be able to derive the meaning of my name from "Chimene" since my father's intent was naming me after the character in the movie? I cannot find the meaning of my name the way that my father chose to spell it. Help!
