It's the French version of 'Susan', and entered the Christian world through two virgin-martyr saints, one the daughter of a Roman senator and the other an anonymous Palestinian, in the 3rd and 4th century, respectively. It means 'lilly' and 'shining flower' in Hebrew, very pretty :-)

A very sensitive question to be sure. Hanukkah means re-dedication and it is a time when present-day Jews re-dedicate their faith. As many people know it is certainly not as important of a holiday as Passover, Yom Kippur, Shavuot, and other Jewish holidays. Most of the over-importance heaped on Hanukkah is due to its timing when comparing the Hebrew calendar to the Roman calendar. I personally find it ironic that the 25th of Kislev (the Hebrew calendar date for the first night of Hanukkah) is associated with the 25th of December (the Roman calendar date for the observance of Christmas). \n\nSo on to your specific question. There is no good answer why Christians do not celebrate Hanukkah. In the spirit of global tolerance and of coming together Christians may want to light a menorah to usher in the holiday time. After all there are an increasing number of Christians that celebrate the Passover holiday; even if it is likened to Christ's Last Supper which was undoubtably a Seder. \n\nOne of the most poignant discussions on the significance and relevance of Hanukkah to Christians is from Reverend Ricky Hoyt. I have included it as source. \n\nHappy holidays!!

I don't reckon that the inventors of this trademark had Hebrew in their mind when thought of it, but you are quite right.\n\nYah is one of god's many names in Hebrew.\nHoo means "he", or "his", but sometimes it has no meaning.\nThe combination of the two words is very popular in biblical names, such as Zedekiah (Tzidkiyahu: justice of Yah), or Isaiah (Yisha'ayahu: Yah is salvation).\n\nYahoo means "he is god".

Immanuel, "God is with us." The simple fact is that it is quite common in the Bible for human beings to be given names that have the purpose of declaring or reflecting a particular attribute of God, e.g., Eliab, Eliada, Elzaphan, Eliakim, Elisha, Eleazar, Tavel, Gedaliah.\n\nIn Isaiah 7:14 the Hebrew states "hinei ha'almah harah veyoledet ben" "behold (hineih) the young woman (ha - the almah- young woman) is pregnant (harah) and shall give birth (ve-and yoledet-shall give birth) to a son (ben)". The Christians translate this as "behold a virgin shall give birth." They have made two mistakes (probably deliberate) in the one verse. They mistranslate "ha" as "a" instead of "the". They mistranslate "almah" as "virgin", when in fact the Hebrew word for virgin is "betulah". Aside from the fact that if you read the context of that prediction you will see clearly that it is predicting an event that was supposed to happen and be seen by king Achaz who lived 700 years before Jesus!

The Semetic language root "Akh" means "Brother"! In Aramaic (the common language spoken in Israel at the time of Jesus) the name was "Akha" ("Brother") and in the 4th. century A.D. a Talmudic scholar was called "Akhina". In Hebrew "akh" means "brother" and it is used as a root in such names as in "Achi'ezer" (my Brother is my helper) and "Achino'am" (my Brother is charming). \n\nMy knowledge of Arabic is too limited to give you an exact meaning otherwise. However, according to the language construction of "Akhin" Benjamin Blech would say that the following blessing is attached to this name:\n"May the Eternal bless Akhin for love and brotherhood. May he excel in interpersonal relationships with family and friends. (Amen!)"

Chandler:  From an occupational surname which meant "candle seller" in Middle English, ultimately from Old French\n\nJacob:  In the Old Testament, Jacob was born holding his twin brother Esau's heel, and his name meaning "holder of the heel" or "supplanter". Other theories claim that it is derived from a hypothetical name like יַעֲקֹבְאֵל (Ya'aqov'el) meaning "may God protect". \n\nAlec:  Form of Alexander: "defending men"  "to defend, help" & "man"

The name Julian comes from Flavius Claudius Julianus, the Emperor of Rome (361-363) who attempted to restore the official dominance of paganism. It is a Latin name and has no ties to the Hebrew language, and has no Hebraic equivalants. Thus, it has no Getmatria value, and has no meaning in Kabbala. Sorry.

Most who spell it with a Hyphen "-" are Jewish.  It is a tradition from the Old Testament where God warned them not to take His name in vain, so they do not pronounce the name of God to avoid the misuse of it.

Keep in mind that some translations may leave the old Chaldean names intact, like Zedek (Jupiter), Nogah (Venus), Adom/Madim (Mars), Sabbatei (Saturn), and Kokah (Mercury).  You may find some interesting references in the link below.
