How to find out what my middle name means
It made me
Inquisitive
 "This was fun."
How I did it: I know another user on here just typed her question "what does my middle name mean?" into google, but i didn't have such luck. It kept bringing up all these different entries, I'm no good with computers. So I remembered that my grandmother used to help me look up my first name in the dictionary...so why not my middle name? I looked up Anne, which comes from Anna, which came from Hannah (from the Bible) "a female given name: from a Hebrew word meaning grace." yippe I'm graceful :p Lessons & tips: I know why I was given my first and middle name, but for those that don't know why they were named after some one or why your prents liked that name I think it might be an interesting story. I just like knowing because it's just some piece of knowledge I'll tuck away, not really useful, but a sweet fact none the less. Resources: Some one suggested www.google.com, but I'd rather search "baby names" on www.Ask,com or type in your name on www.dictionary.com |

My middle name is Rosemary, after my great aunt Rosemary. She was the first female doctor in my family (we are a big doctor/lawyer family), so it’s quite a nice strong person to be named after.
On a less personal note, Rosemary comes from the Latin ros marinus, meaning dew of the sea, because it has a dusty blue colour and grew near the sea originally.
Rosemary is an ancient symbol for friendship and remembrance, which I vaguely recollect from a school production of Hamlet, when Ophelia says something along the lines of ‘rosemary for remembrance’. This has actually been proved by some nice students at Cincinnati University, who found it to be an effective memory aid.
It used to be dipped in gold and carried at weddings as a little send off into married life, people used to put it under their pillows to ward off bad dreams, and probably the oddest, some use it to make a tea, which they then cool down and rub on their bald patches to prevent hair loss.
Nice.

I know that my parents told me what my middle name means but it was so long ago and I had forgotten. I spoke with them this afternoon and my dad even went through how to draw the characters.
5Princess is reading through my list and checking to see what I have done.
