ArchivesRe: what does my name mean
in reply to a message by T. Hall
I tried researching for your name, Tiamok and all I found is YOU, Tiamok Hall... at http://www.scsc.k12.ar.us/fbla3/top10inevents.htm
BUSINESS LAW, Tiamok Hall, El Dorado.
If you complete the info on your name for us, your background, your ethnicity, place of birth, just as much as you know about it, then maybe one of the experts can do better than I did.
Good luck,
Magia.

Maybe...
In the Chortí dialect(Guatemalan Native culture descendents
of the Mayas), "Tia" means "where/when" and "Mok" means "sick/ill". It is not common for Chortí Natives to give native names to their children. You would hardly ever find a boy named Ah k'in("the day"/"the sun")or Ahk'ab("The night"/"darkness") plus "Tiamok" would mean "when sick"(not a lovely meaning, I know) but at the very least, I am NOT letting you walk away, empty-handed...(how nice of me :op)
