ArchivesRe: Chimene - the name.
in reply to a message by Chimene
Lovely to see so many Chimène's here. I was born in 62 (about 5 months after release date of movie El Cid.) I wonder who is the oldest Chimène :D
According to all the French people I know the French pronunciation is definitely "She-men". The American version is Chi-maine (think Chicago and Maine) I have asked people from France what my name means and one man told me: "THE PATHWAY" Another meaning discovered in my 1979 school assignment found my name to be associated with that of "HOSTESS" (providing for others). Recently found "FAITHFUL DAUGHTER" which I love. So now I can say I'm a faithful daughter providing others with what they need on their pathway :) I think we can all agree, the name Chimène is awesome and I wouldn't want any other ♡
P.S. I was also told American to French equivalent name was like "Cindy" In other words at one point it was not that uncommon of a name in France.
