hey thats cool andrew created runescape!! try it\nhere its pretty long \n\n\nSaint Andrew\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia\nJump to: navigation, search\nPart of the series on\nChristianity \n \nHistory of Christianity\nTimeline of Christianity\nJesus of Nazareth\nThe Apostles\nEcumenical councils\nGreat Schism\nThe Crusades\nReformation\n \nThe Trinity of God\nGod the Father\nChrist the Son\nThe Holy Spirit\n \nChristian theology\nChristian Church\nChristian worship\nGrace · Salvation\nSermon on the Mount\nThe Ten Commandments\n \nThe Christian Bible\nOld Testament\nNew Testament\nApocrypha\n\n \nChristian denominations\nCatholicism\nOrthodox Christianity\nProtestantism\n\nChristian movements\n\n \nFor other uses of "St Andrews", see St Andrews (disambiguation). \nSaint Andrew (Greek: Andreas, "manly"), called in the Orthodox tradition Protocletos, or the First-called, is a Christian Apostle, brother of Saint Peter.\n\nAccording to Christian tradition, Andrew was born at Bethsaida on the Sea of Galilee (John 1:44). Since he was a Jew, Andreas was almost certainly not his given name, but no Hebrew or Aramaic name is recorded for him. He had been a disciple of John the Baptist (John 1:37-40) and was one of the first to follow Jesus. He lived at Capernaum (Mark 1:29). In the gospels he is referred to as being present on some important occasions as one of the disciples more closely attached to Jesus (Mark 13:3; John 6:8, 12:22); in Acts there is only a bare mention of him (1:13).\n\n \nThe Kievan hill where St Andrew is said to have erected the cross is commemorated by the cathedral dedicated in his name. \nEusebius quotes Origen as saying Andrew preached in Asia Minor and in Scythia, along the Black Sea as far as the Volga. Hence he became a patron saint of Romania and Russia. Traditionally, he was the first bishop of Byzantium, a position which would later become Patriarch of Constantinople.\n\nHe is said to have suffered crucifixion at Patras (Patrae) in Achaea, on a cross of the form called Crux decussata (X-shaped cross) and commonly known as "St Andrew's cross". St Andrew is the patron of Patras. According to tradition his relics were removed from Patras to Constantinople, and thence to St Andrews (see below). Local legends say that the relics were sold to the Romans by the local priests in exchange of the Romans constructing a water reservoir for the city. In recent years, the relics were kept in the Vatican City, but were sent back to Patras by decision of the Pope Paul VI in 1964. The relics, which consist of the small finger and part of the top of the cranium of St Andrew, are since kept in the Church of St Andrew at Patras in a special tomb, and are reverenced in a special ceremony every November 30.\n\n \nThe monumental church of St. Andreas at Patras, where the saint's relics are kept, said to be erected over the place of his martyrdom.The apocryphal Acts of Andrew, mentioned by Eusebius, Epiphanius and others, is among a disparate group Acts of Apostles that were traditionally attributed to Leucius Charinus. "These Acts may be the latest of the five leading apostolic romances. They belong to the third century: ca. A.D. 260," was the opinion of C.R. James, who edited them in 1924. The Acts, as well as a Gospel of St Andrew, appear among rejected books in the Decretum Gelasianum connected with the name of Pope Gelasius I. The Acts of Andrew was edited and published by Constantin von Tischendorf in the Acta Apostolorum apocrypha (Leipzig, 1821), putting it for the first time into the hands of a critical professional readership. Another version of the Andrew legend is found in the Passio Andreae, published by Max Bonnet (Supplementum II Codicis apocryphi, Paris, 1895).\n\nAndrew is represented in art as an old man with long white hair and a beard, holding the Gospel in his right hand, and leaning on his characteristic saltire cross.

Ashley Jade. It's my daughter's name. We named her that because Ashley means "father rejoiced" in Gaelic. Her middle name ended up being perfect because she has green eyes that were bright blue at birth. If she would have had red hair like her daddy her middle name would have been Daigh, which means fire or flame.

The word you want is Katzchen, with an umlaut (two dots, like a horizontal colon [:] ) over the 'a'. To pronounce it, purse your lips while you say the first syllable, so it almost sounds like 'kitchen'.  The word literally means 'little cat'. It's what is called a diminutive term. The closest English equivalent would be something like 'ling'. You could say 'Catling', and people would know you ment a small or immature cat.  Does that help?

Sorry this will be a bit long... but if you want to get good answer to questions about the meaning of names you need to know which sources and sites you can trust... so I'll try to point out why certain sites are NOT good sources.\n\nIn general, I do not trust the meanings given in the "baby name" sites.  Some are correct, same are way off!  Too much sloppy work and failture to co-ordinate related forms to rely on them.\n\nOne evidence of unreliability is this -- If you check out the "name-meanings" and "babyname" sites mentioned above and search for the list of names below --ALL of which are derived from the same Germanic name ("Karl"), you will find meanings that have nothing to do with each other!      \n\nCharles, Carl, Karl, Carlos\nCarla, Carlotta, Charlotte, Charlene\nCarol, Caroline \n(there are others, but they are unlikely to appear in English)\n\nEsp. laughable is what happens when you choose one of the FEMININE forms.  Some may properly say "from Charles", but others end up as "melody" (for "Carol" -- but this is NOT the meaning of the NAME!), "feminine",  "beautiful woman", etc. \n\nNow it IS true that since "carol" is a word for a type of song or hymn, people MAY choose the name for that meaning, and say it means that.  No problem there, even if that's not the way the name originally came about...  language is like that!  But in any case the names do NOT mean "feminine" or "beautiful".\n\nAlso, since names, like other words, can change meaning over time, some variation is understandable.  (Thus the negative word "churl" is derived from "Carl", but that does not mean the name Carl has that meaning.)\n\nBut that's not what's going on with the baby books and baby-name sites.  They are often trying to make the names sounds interesting and attractive (telling a girl her name is a feminine form of "man" or "warrior" may not be well received!) But in the process they are often far from correct!\n\nOn the other hand I have found "behindthename.com" to avoid such sloppiness.   They try to present the most reliable info they can.  For a cluster of names, ALL the names will eventually take you to one main entry that explains the derivation and meaning.  In this case all the names listed above end up at the "Charles" article.\n\nSo we discover that there is a bit of uncertainty/debate about whether the name simply means "man" (or in some cultures a particular status of man, such as a "free man") OR is from a Germanic root "heri" for "war", hence meaning "warrior" (the sort of name used quite often in Germanic cultures).\n\nBy the way "farmer" is not very helpful here.   It may be that in some societies the typical work of the "(free)man" was as a farmer, but that does not mean this word itself MEANS "farmer".\n\nWikipedia's article on the name is also quite good, and adds a bit of history and a hint at how the name could be related to status in society (which may make it difficult to fully translate, since our societies do not have that same structure)\n\nSo, check out the details at these two links:\nhttp://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?nmd=n&terms=charles\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_(name)\n(which includes a nice list of masculine and feminine forms as well as surnames)

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!)"
