Hello there, some help please?
I was searching the internet before for more names to use in my little list (because Im just a deranged etymologist, I think my mother is worried ^.^) and I came across a message on google from this board that included the names Loukia, Thymios, Anthelia and Astacia (I think its mostly right because I wrote them on my French coursework which is now probably being marked down for writing junk on the corners -shifty eyes-). I've tried searching but I have no idea what I searching for so could someone be so kind to tell me their meanings and genders (I role play at a horse game aswell so they come in handy for unique names).
Also could someone help me with the pronounciation of Ma'at...I usually pronounce it
May-et
May-ot
May-at
something like that...any input? As soon as my exams are over with -cough- should be revising -cough- I will come here and bring some names with me, this is a very useful site but when I search for some of my favourite names I notice they're not there so ^.^ Mki to the rescue
for example my adored online name
Mkali- Swahili Kenya-Tanzania for Fierce ^.^
Anyways as a proud owner of Phoenix Mcfarland's book of names I have quite a few..will be back. Ciao all and Bright Blessings.
Mki (my real name is welsh and I hate it for myself..ahhhh)

Loukia is a Greek female name. It is from the Loukas / Lucas / Lucian / Lucy / etc. name family and has the same meaning - either "from Lucania" or "light" (Originating from Lucani.)Thymios - also Greek, male. I can't locate a meaning with the resources I have at hand at the moment.Anthelia - Greek, female - Can be a form of Anthea and related names, "blossom, flower. OR plural of Anthelion: "A halo opposite the sun, consisting of a colored ring or rings around the shadow of the spectator's own head, as projected on a cloud or on an opposite fog bank."Astacia - Greek, female - form of Anastasia / Anastasios / Anastasius, "resurrection, reborn"
I can not find any definitive info on how to correctly pronounce Ma'at. :(
