ArchivesNeed help with my name...
I'm trying like everyone else in the board to find out what it means. I'd really appreciate some help on it. I've been in the dark and would like to be enlightend.
I think it might be Yiddish, Arabic or Hindustani(or a twist on one or more of the above). I have a firend of mine that said that in Hindu part of the name means "light". Not sure of that. Some one told me that they found out and that they would get back to me but never did. My mother heard it from a friend of hers long ago at work and dubbed me with it. If any one has a clue, even a slight on I would really appreciate it. It Sounds like a combination of Yiddish and Hindustani.Possably a Yiddish twist on Shaunna?
Again thank you to anyone who can provide some info on the 20+ year mystery on the menaing behind my name.

The first thing that jumped into my head, "She's named for Rosh Hashanah?". (If you don't know, that is the Jewish holy day of the new year and the name literally means 'head of the year' or 'first of the year'. The word rosh usually being translated as the word 'head'. You could check out this site for general info: http://www.jewfaq.org/holiday2.htm ) I guess it isn't a bad thing to be named for, but definately unusual and definately some miscommunication was going on if that is the case.
Also, maybe it could be a variation or combination name of the Jewish name Shoshana. You can check out this link to the archives for more about this name: http://www.behindthename.com/wwwboardarc/messages/26744.html

Good thinking, Anneza...
yeah, it does mean some sort of flower (a hot debate with biblical plant scholars, who are these people?) with the most modern interpretation as 'Rose'. Hence, Rose Rose. I don't know why that didn't occur to me before. It would sort of be like being named after a double rose! That's a lot better than being named after the holy new year.
