In addition to that"Baby" name sites like Babynames.com aren't a good place to find name meanings. They're notoriously inaccurate, with false origins and meanings galore. I wouldn't trust them with meanings at all.On the other hand, I trust Behind the Name above all other name sites.Please don't reference "baby" name sites like 40,001 Baby Names, Babynames.com, Baby Name Addicts, etc. ad nauseum. They mislead the innocent, and frustrate us who value true etymology and therefore know better.Miranda
