ArchivesMy Birthday
My name is JOVANTE. I understand that JOVAN a form of JOHN, which means "gracious." but usually if a prefix or a suffix is added, it changes the meaning. Therefore, does "-te" mean anything?......Also, yesterday was my birthday and my aunt brought a precious gift to this world on that day, my baby cousin. Noland LeTaurean Lemar +last name....I found NOLAND=NOLAN, descendent of a champion/chariot fighter, but I gave him the name LETAUREAN as a name hoping it means "the taurus" (LE from french), but don't know what LEMAR signifies....can you help me with those names?

Jovante is a blend of Jovan with names like DeVante or Dante. There really isn't any etymological meaning to the -te on Jovante unless your parents deliberately thought of one. Otherwise the etymology of Jovante is simply "modern blended creation."
I suppose that Letaurean means "the Taurean" since that's what you yourself created it to mean. But you can't just put a French article in front of a non-French word and say that it means "the Taurus" in French. You would have to consult someone who knows French to find out if "Taurean" is used in that language for someone born under the astrological sign of Taurus.
Lemar is another spelling of Lamar. Lamar is a surname which goes back to French and originally meant "the pond", referring to an ancestor who lived by a pond.
Just out of curiosity, how old are you and how did your aunt come to give you the task of naming your newborn cousin? It's highly unusual for a cousin to get that sort of honor. Was it simply because he was born on your birthday?

I am 20 years old. LeTaurean is correct and translates to "the person born under the Taurus symbol (Taurean, same in English)" I only gave him that particular name. I didn't name the rest. It is highly unusual for a cousin to give a name, but it was because they wanted a French name and I am a French Education major. Thank you for the other interpretations.
