Introduction

Of all the things that parents can give to their children, the name chosen by the parents is one of the most enduring. Names are somewhat similar to things the child inherits from the parents, such as hair, eye color, and height, but with the difference that it is chosen by the parents. Conversely, unlike a bicycle, the name is something that can't be replaced or changed, so choosing it carefully is of prime importance.

In fact, the lifelong effect the name the parents choose for their kids is considered so great that in some countries the government actually maintains a list of what names they will allow a birth certificate to be registered under!

In most countries, however, the parents have complete leeway over what to name their kids. This poses as much of a challenge as anything else, because there are literally hundreds of thousands of name variations to choose from.

In this eBook, we have collected a detailed list of names from throughout the globe, summarizing the origin and meaning of each. Many new parents may not be aware that each name has a distinct meaning. In the same way that family names like Baker or Smith indicated the family's line of work, and names like Armstrong describe a physical trait, so too do first names.

Of course, since the vast majority of first names evolved in different languages, their meaning escapes most people today. We will provide a set of guidelines as to how to organize your baby name choosing journey, and provide a list explaining the often interesting meaning and background of hundreds of well and lesser known names.
