ArchivesMeaning and origin of Atticus?
Hi everyone!
I'm rather new here and i'm impressed by the knowledge shown here.
I know Atticus is a male name and it sounds Greek or Latin.
I also wonder if anyone can find the meaning of Öllegård? It is a Danish female name. "gård" might be related to "garden" or "yard" but i'm not sure.

Thank you, would you give my dd a cool Indian name?
Her name is Lilian Saga Hou.
Unless you're a hacker with uncanny skills, i think that you must be very knowledgable in languages. Therefore you know that only (?) Sweden has the letter Å in its alphabet. The letter Ö is also used in Finnish, Estonian, German , Hungarian and Turkish.

Thank you very much! Now she has a cool name on the Internet. "dd" means "dear daughter" (or darn daughter sometimes).
But i still has no clue how you find out about posting from Sweden. Maybe just a lucky guess?

Okay, seriously, I'll tell you. But I don't want everyone here to know my secret. So I'm going to carefully scroll down the page until what I've written here right now doesn't show anymore on the screen, and when you get to the bottom of the page, you'll find your answer.
Okay?
Are you ready?
Are you absolutely shuuuuuuuuure you want to know?

Using the second translation of your real name, your name would be Moire Greine (a mark, called fada, that looks kinda like an accent mark over the first e in Greine). It is pronounced Moeera Grayinuh.
Your dd's name translates to Lile Bean Feasa, pronounced Liluh Ban Fasuh.
Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)

I'm familiar with the word "Saga". I'm not sure if I've ever posted this information, but I took a Norse Mythology class. Heck, I kinda taught the blasted class (losing brownie points with the blasted professor). (I guess that's what you get for being insatiably curious. [ :D] )
I'll try to translate all the names into Gaelic, so please be a bit patient.

Found it! :)
Here you go, Ollegard:
According to this website, "Olegard" is a form of "Odilgard":
http://www.vornamen.com/namen/o_female.htm
And according to this website, "Odilgard" comes from "the old German 'ot' possession) and 'gard' (stronghold, protection)":

A very long-shot speculation: Olivegarden?

Hi, Ollegard! I see you're posting from... Sweden? Selwyn is in Denmark, and may be able to help you with the meaning of the Danish name "Ollegard".
As for "Atticus" -- that I know is Latin and means: "belonging to Attica, or Athens". It was (and still is, I imagine) an appelation denoting classical intelligence, elegance, and wit.
It was also the name of the father/lawyer in Harper Lee 's wonderful novel, *To Kill a Mockingbird* -- a character brilliantly portrayed by actor Gregory Peck in the filmed version.
