Names originate from only one place - they may have meanings in several languages, but Abby originated from Hebrew and means "joy of the father" (babynames.com)\n\n"Diminutive of Abigail: Father rejoiced, or father's joy. Gives joy. The intelligent, beautiful Abigail was Old Testament King David's third wife, described as 'good in discretion and beautiful in form."

Glad to answer you, \nMisr or Messer which in Arabic is "مصر" is the name which Egypt has been called with in the Quran and the Jewish Holy Book , it's widely known that it mean a region in the Arabic language which equals " قطر " , but in fact it's not Arabic , it's an old Egyptian word , which is taken from the word "Migr" or " Meshr" which means "the Protected" and means that God gave Egyptian a protecting frontiers as from the north there's the Mediterranean sea, and from the east there's the Red Sea and from the west there's the western desert, and from the south there's many water canals which are hard to be crossed. \nSo it's an old Egyptian word.

The best way to handle this is we all learn to speak and read hebrew and greek in less i'm mistaken is what language the Word was written.Then we will call His name correctly. I call Him(God-Allah ) Daddy so am I wrong? I think as long as you call on him and are respectable that is what truly matters. Oh yeah great info!!!!!!!

Don't worry about these websites. Most of them are untrue claims made by Protestants.\n\nThis controversy has been around ever since the Protestants created it. The origins of the name were originally created when Protestant Professor Andreas Helwig in 1612 tried to convert the title of the Pope into Roman numerals equivalent to 666. When he discovered that "Vicarius Fili Dei" (Vicar of the Son of God) fit the translation. He tried fifteen different language translations until he found this translation in Latin. It should be noted that this title has never been attributed to any Pope. \n\nWhile it is true that some tiarras that have been "presented" to past Popes with inscriptions on them, NEVER has any tiarra been inscribed with the words "Vicarius Filii Dei". The closest inscription that I have been able to find has been the inscription found on a tiarra "presented" to Pius IX in 1871 in Belgium. The inscription reads \n\n"IESV CHRISTI VICARIO INFALLIBILI\nORBIS SVPREMO IN TERRA RECTORI\nREGVM ATQVE POPVLORVM PATRI\n\nwhich translates to:\n\nTo the Infallible Vicar of Jesus Christ\nTo the Supreme Governor of the World on Earth\nTo the Father of Nations and Kings

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 :-)

There are several possible sources, among them an old Choctaw indian word okeh, could be short for any of several different spellings of "all correct", including "Oll Korrect", "Orl Korrect", and "Ole Kurreck". There's an article at Wikipedia

I found this on line,\n\n"Devious Derivations: Popular Misconceptions -- and More than 1,000 True Origins of Common Words and Phrases" by Hugh Rawson (toExcel, Iuniverse.com, 1994, 2000). This reference has some new information on the origins listed here (new information in parenthesis), new origins and what could be the actual origin. \n\n: : 1. Orrin Kendall biscuits, which soldiers ate during the Civil War. \n: : 2. Short for Aux Cayes, a Haitian port that American sailors praised for its rum. \n: : 3. Old Keokuk, a Native American tribal chief who was said to have signed treaties with his initials. \n: : 4. OK stands for "all correct" or the illiterate phrase "Orl Korrect." \n: : 5. U.S. President Martin Van Buren's nickname "Old Kinderhook" -- OK for short. He was a native of Kinderhook, N.Y.\n: : 6. Choctaw word "okeh," (or "hoke") meaning "indeed" (or "It is so.")\n: : 7. Scottish "auch aye", meaning "ah yes." (Or "och aye," meaning "okay.")\n: : 8. From the French maritime phrase "au quai" meaning "at dock", and therefore at last safe from the ravages of the open sea.\n: : 9. '0 killed' - the report of the night's death toll during the First World War. \n: : 10. All clear after the shoot-out at O.K. Corral. \n: : 11. Instruments calibrated at an Observatory at Kew had, affixed to them, a stamp, or impression, to authenticate that calibration. This stamp was O K - Observatory Kew. \n\n: : New origins from Mr. Rawson's book:\n: : 12. The abbreviation is for Oberst Kommandant, German for "Colonel in Command," used by either -- take your pick -- a General Schliessen or Baron von Steuben when initialing letters and orders during the American Revolution.\n: : 13. It comes from the name of a freight agent, Obadiah Kelly, whose initials were widely disseminated on bills of lading.\n: : 14. The abbreviation is for Open Key, popularized by telegraphers in the 1860s.\n: : 15. It comes from the names of Lords Onslow and Kilbracken, who initialed bills after they were read and approved in England's House of Lords. \n: : 16. From a misreading of "Order Recorded" on official documents.\n: : 17. Or from Finnish "oikea," correct.\n: : 18. From the Greek "olla," all, plus "Kalla," good.\n\n: : Professor Allen Walker Read of Columbia University, "finally unveiled its (O.K.'s) origins in a series of magisterial articles in 'American Speech' in 1963 and 1964.What Professor Read discovered was that the abbreviation arose in a humorous manner at a time when Americans were indulging in a great deal of wordplay, including abbreviations, acronyms, puns and intentional mispronunciations and misspellings. The earliest example of O.K. that he unearthed (and it is so far still the oldest known specimen) is from the Boston 'Morning Post' of March 23, 1839. It appears in connection with a note by the paper's editor, Charles Gordon Greene, about a visit to New York of some members of the local Anti-Bell-Ringing Society. (The A.B.R.S., as it was usually known, was itself something of a joke, having been formed the previous year to oppose -- its name to the contrary -- an ordinance of the Boston Common Council against ringing dinner bells.) In an aside, Mr. Greene suggested that if the Bostonians were to return home via Providence, they might be greeted by one of his rivals, the editor of that city's 'Journal,' who 'would have the 'contribution box,' et ceteras, o.k. -- all correct -- and cause the corks to fly, like sparks, upward.'.Thus, it appears that O.K. was invented, possibly by Greene, as an abbreviation of the jocular 'Oll' or perhaps 'Orl korrect,' meaning "All right.' This explanation would seem farfetched, except for Read's finding that it dovetai

The name George has its origin in ancient Greek Geōrgios (Γεώργιος), a derivation of the noun geōrgos (γεωργός) "husbandman, farmer", a compound of gē (γῆ) "earth" and ergon (ἔργον) "work".\n\nThe name was rare in Antiquity, but became extremely popular in Christianity thanks to Saint George. It remains a popular name and has many variants in the different languages.

A lot of people get overwrought about this..  unnecessarily, I think.\n\nThe NAME "Easter" was indeed the name of the pagan spring festival of the Germanic tribes.\n\nBut the Jewish Passover (Hebrew 'Pesach', Greek translation 'Pascha') was held at the same time of year, and since Jesus was crucified at the feast of Passover and raised just after it, the celebration of his resurrection naturally ended up being held at about the same time.  \n\nActually, the early church had different customs for when and how to celebrate this season. In AD 325 a council of the church agreed to a formula for determining the date, and for always observing the Day of Resurrection on a SUNDAY, since it was on that day, the first day of the week, that Jesus rose from the dead.\n\nNow in the Mediterranean cultures they simply took the word English renders as "Passover" and used that name for the feast.  But when the church spread among the Germanic tribes it might sometimes be called "Easter" instead, from the name of the Germanic feast.  (We do, however, sometimes use the word "paschal" to refer to things related to the death of Christ and Easter.)   \n\nBUT under EITHER name the Christian celebration of the resurrection was not substantially different.  It was hardly "paganized", anymore than someone just 'decided' to celebrate the resurrection at the time of a pagan festival.  \n\n(The fact that there ARE spring festivals in varous religions is not all that surprising.  And if people want to make something of it, their criticsim ought to be of the original Hebrew Passover, which was in part a spring/seasonal feast --closely connected to the 'Firstfruits'-- just as the two other major Jewish festivals were harvest festivals!   But it is silly to conclude this somehow makes all these things pagan.  I would argue, instead that God called his people to see in the 'new life' of spring a sign in his creation of his SPIRITUAL work for his people, as he redeemed them from Egypt and gave them a new life.)

Yeshua used to be a common Jewish name, but I have not known this to be a common thing today.  Jews do not take the names of what they would consider to be a false God, and since Christians worship Yeshua (Jesus), then they do not take that name, and some will not even pronounce it!  They will say "Yoshke" or "Yoshkele" or something like that.\n\nThe rest of those are not Jewish names.  But some may have Hebrew equivalents.  For example, if I'm not mistaken, James = Jacob - Yaakov.  There are PLENTY of Jewish Yaakov's.
