Your continued donations keep Wikipedia running!    \nEranos\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nEranos is an intellectual discussion group dedicated to study of spirituality. The name is derived from an ancient Greek word meaning a banquet to which the guests bring contributions of food, a no-host dinner. The group was founded by Olga Froebe-Kapteyn in 1933, and these conferences have been held annually in the grounds of her estate (on the shores of Lago Maggiore near Ascona in Switzerland) ever since. For over sixty years this event has served as a point of contact for thinkers from disparate fields to discuss all things spiritual. The conference takes place over eight days in which time all the participants eat, sleep and live together, thereby promoting a proximity which fosters an atmosphere of discussion. Each year a new topic is addressed and the idea is that each thinker delivers a two hour lecture on the subject - his/her contribution to the 'banquet' of ideas - thereby attempting to draw these multifarious thinkers into productive intellectual discourse.\n\n[edit]\nEranos' Beginnings\nFroebe-Kapteyn established this group at the suggestion of the eminent German religious historian, Ruldolf Otto. Froebe-Kapteyn was the Dutch foundress of the Table Ronde, an association which is indicative of the Eranos' 'spiritualist' bent. Indeed Eranos was from its very outset interested in these issues. The title of its first theme was: "Yoga and Meditation in East and West", a trult pioneering subject in the early 1930s. Eranos in its infancy soon came to be associated primarily with Carl Jung. Jung was a regular participant at Eranos, and his conception of mythic archetypes came to be a foundational theory of Eranos.\n\n[edit]\nExternal links\nEranos - official website \nRetrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eranos"\nCategory: Spirituality\n\nViewsArticle Discussion Edit this page History Personal toolsSign in / create account Navigation\nMain Page \nCommunity Portal \nFeatured articles \nCurrent events \nRecent changes \nRandom article \nHelp \nContact Wikipedia \nDonations \nSearch\n    Toolbox\nWhat links here \nRelated changes \nUpload file \nSpecial pages \nPrintable version \nPermanent link\nCite this article \nIn other languages\nItaliano \n\nThis page was last modified 21:55, 24 March 2006.

My best guess is that Airianna is related to Arianna or Ariana.  Somebody just added the extra "i" to change up the spelling.  The girl's name Arianna is also related to Ariadne.  The girl's name Ariana is pronounced ar-ee-AH-nah. It is of Welsh origin, and its meaning is "silver."  \n\nAs a variant of Ariadne, it means: Chaste, very holy. Ariadne was the Greek mythological daughter of King Minos of Crete who aided Theseus to escape from the Cretan labyrinth after killing the Minotaur.  \n\nArianna is a common female first name, ranking 2495 out of 4275 for females of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census. Arianna is a rare surname as it was not ranked for people of all ages in the 1990 U.S. Census.  In 2005, the name Arianna was ranked #88.

Genus, species come in both Greek and Latin names\n\nlotor means washer as the German name for Racoon is Waschbär which obviously means wash-bear.

Zaragoza: couldnt find\n\nMerida: couldnt find\n\nMexico: After the Mexica branch of the Aztecs. The origin of the term "Mexxica" remains uncertain. Some take it as the old Nahuatl word for the sun. Others say it derived from the name of the leader Mexitli. Yet others simply ascribe it to a type of weed that grows in Lake Texcoco. Leon Portilla suggests that it means "navel of the moon" from Nahuatl metztli (moon) and xictli (navel). Alternatively, it could mean "navel of the maguey" (Nahuatl metl). \n\nCatalonia: couldnt find\n\nItaly: From Latin Italia, the name having entered Latin from a non-Latin source. The etymology of Italia probably directly relates to an ancient Greek word italos (bull), from PIE *wet; the Greek word follows the sound-changes from Proto-Indo-European to Greek, but the Latin equivalent vitulus (young bull) from this root, does not. Speakers of ancient Oscan called Italy Viteliu, also from PIE *wet. Varro wrote that the region got its name from the excellence and abundance of its cattle (italos, "bull" hence italia). Some disagree with this etymology. Compare Italus. \nFriagi or Friaz' in Old Russian: from the Byzantine appellation for the medieval Franks. \nValland (variant in Icelandic): land of "valer", (an Old Norse name for Celts, later also used for the Romanized tribes). \nWłochy (Polish) and Olaszország (Hungarian): from Gothic walh, the same root as in Valland, see details under "Wallachia" below.\n\nRome: "Roman Realm". The Roman Empire conquered a large part of the territory of the country, and the inhabitants became Romanized (Romanians). Older variants of the name include "Rumania" and (in a French-influenced spelling) "Roumania". Compare the origin of the name of the Sultanate of Rüm. \nDacia, older name and Latin variant: named after the ancient people the Dacians. \nWallachia, Slavic name for the country, from the Gothic word for Celts (walh), later also used for the Romanized tribes. This Germanic form derives from the name of the Celtic tribe of Volcae. Compare with the etymologies of the names "Wales" and "Wallonia". \n\nLondon: couldnt find\n\nCambridge: couldnt find\n\nNormandy: couldnt find\n\nYucatan: couldnt find\n\nBrazil: Named after the brazilwood tree, so-named because its reddish wood resembled the color of red-hot embers (brasil in Portuguese).

The modern English name "Greece" is derived from the Latin word "Graecus," which in turn originates from the Greek word  Γραικός (Graikos). This was the name of a Boeotian tribe ("Boeotian" means that they were originally from the central area of ancient Greece) that migrated to Italy in the 8th century BC.  The name of these people, who inhabited the area that the Romans called "Magna Graecia," (Greater Greece) became the name by which the Hellenes (Greeks) were known in the West.\n\nGreeks do not call themselves "Greeks," nor do they call their country "Greece."  They refer to their country as Έλλάς  (Hellas) and themselves as Έλληνες (Hellenes).

Carmen was a female name but Italians use it on their males. So what's a little 'i' at the end of a name going to hurt? Although I agree with the rest, your first answerer is right on the money!

I hope you weren't called that, 'cause it means in love with yourself. It's basically extreme vanity and an inflated ego.\n\nNarcissus was a mythical Greek god [or perhaps just a man, I can't remember] who fell in love with his own reflection in the smooth surface of a pond. What a freak.
