Gender:\nMale \n\nEthnic Origin:\nItalian \n\nMeaning:\nA diminutive of Durante, the Italian form of Durand meaning enduring. Famous bearer: The poet Dante Alighieri wrote 'The Divine Comedy' with its graphic description of medieval Hell known as 'Dante's Inferno.'. \n\nDante is also used in Spanish speaking countries.\nAsking if it's a black name sounds kind of racist, asking if it's an ethnic based name sounds better. My sister lived in Ecuador and she said that she met a black chinese named \nGunther, that just goes to show nowadays, that names don't label you any more. It is nice however, to know what a name means, regardless of race. Hope this helps.

The root of the word Caucasian: \n"  1807, from Caucasus Mountains, between the Black and Caspian seas; applied to the "white" race 1795 (in Ger.) by Ger. anthropologist Johann Blumenbach, because their supposed ancestral homeland lay there; since abandoned as a historical/anthropological term. Lit. meaning "resident or native of the Caucasus" is from 1843. The mountain range name is from Gk. kaukhasis, from Scythian kroy-khasis, lit. "(the mountain) ice-shining."  "\n\nThe fact that the word 'Caucasian' has the word 'Asian' in it is a coincidence, it is in fact the word for 'being a native of the Caucasuss Mountains'. If you're from American, you're American. If you're from Canada, you're Canadian. If you're from Caucasuss, you're Caucasian.

Derivation of the name of "cricket"\nA number of words are thought to be possible sources for the term cricket, which could refer to the bat or the wicket. In old French, the word criquet meant a kind of club which probably gave its name to croquet. Some believe that cricket and croquet have a common origin. In Flemish, krick(e) means a stick, and, in Old English, cricc or cryce means a crutch or staff (though the hard "k" sound suggests the North or Northeast midlands, rather than the Southeast, where cricket seems to have begun).\n\nAlternatively, the French criquet apparently comes from the Flemish word krickstoel, which is a long low stool on which one kneels in church which may appear similar to the long low wicket with two stumps used in early cricket, or the early stool in stoolball. The word stool is old Sussex dialect for a tree stump, and stool ball is a sport similar to cricket played by the Dutch
