I was hoping to find out what my name means and the positive origin of it. I have always been told it was Danish. My name is Sybren. Thank you!!

Sybren

Hej Sybren,

Sybren is a spelling variant of Sibren, a Frisian form of the Old German names Sigbern (victory + bear) and Sigbrand (victory + sword).

Here's a map of Friesland: http://www.famato.de/frieslandlotse/friesland.gif

Westfriesland belongs to the Netherlands, Ostfriesland belongs to Germany and Nordfriesland to Germany and Denmark.

Regards, Satu

Hey sybren,

I'm sibren, (too)
Satu (nice name by the way, especially if you know what it means)
is totally right.
But i'dd like to add that i somewhere found that sibren means "Victory with/by a flaming/shining sword"
(pretty cool isn't it?)
