ArchivesRe: cant find my name
in reply to a message by Daividh
Trying to single out "Bosnian names" would be an exercise in futility, old bean. States such as Bosnia, Kossovo, Macedonia, etc., are fairly new-fangled concoctions encompassing mosaic of ethnicities. Whenever I meet someone from the region (Catholic, Orthodox and Muslim) I ask them what they consider themselves: believe me, the majority reply in the most politically-incorrect by western standards way: "I am Yugoslavian". An example being Emir Kusturica, a great Yugoslavian film director, whose background includes a hefty dose of all the region's ethnicities.
Just asked an Albanian colleague about the name Almir. She claims that it is quite common in her neck of the woods, and that the name is based on "mir" which means "good" in Albanian. I conjecture that the Albanian "mir" may be related to the Slavic "mir" (meaning peace) which in turn, is related to the Greek "irene" (also meaning peace). Lets drink to that.

what is the meaning of my name?

Hi there Destri!
My partner and I are going to call one of our children Destri as we just fell in love with the name the first time we met a guy in the RNZAF named Destri!
I wanted to look up the meaning of the name and found this out - so here is my version and the reasons behind the name meaning.
I had to break it down into two parts...
Des - meaning Desire
Tri - meaning geometry in french - the study of shapes
So I put the two together and the meaning I will explain to my child is Destri - Shaped Desire.
Hope that this helps you out and that you will write back to me at my email and let me know what you think.
Cheers
Cherie

I'm really looking to find out what my cousin name mean? (Shaminique)

I'd wondered whether that name of "Almir" might have been composed of two elements: "Al" and "mir" -- and you answered that, Priapos. :) So, could "Almir" together mean "The Good"? (as "al" frequently appears to be a definite article in Muslim names.
