we were talking about names and I realized something fun. There are about 50 different "meanings" for the name Kara. Seriously i hear new ones all the time.. For example.
Kara: Greek = Pure
Kara: Latin = The Beloved
Kara: Irish = Friend
Kara: Spanish = Face
Kara: Italian = Dear
Kara: Latin = Diamond
Kara: Urban Dic = loving, smart,pretty,athletic,skinny, tall, and a good friend to have
Kara: Celtic = Pure
Kara: Japanese = Empty
Kara: Hebrew = Cold
Kara: Turkish = Dessert/Black
Kara: Polish = Punishment
Kara: Danish = Graceful and Beautiful
Kara: see Catherine
My point is, no one really knows what it means... or where it came from.
So for our purposes, let's just say that it is Greek and means "Pure."
Then of course my last name
Bloomer: Underpants
Bloomer: One who comes into a set of skills
Bloomer: A flower which has blossomed
Bloomer: A blunder
From here we can take this a lot of fun directions. Yours truly is a:
Flower of Pure Joy
A Cold Joyful Punishment
Beloved Underpants
Etc etc
Haha, whatever the meaning of Kara is, I think it is safe to say you do not match the Hebrew, polish, or Japanese meanings......
ReplyDeleteWhat about the Spanish?
ReplyDeleteThat one might be true. You do have a face, after all.
ReplyDeleteI think my name is much more straight forward, and thus less exciting.
ReplyDeleteFor Kathryn it seems to always mean 'pure' (but I have seen 'little darling' for Katie) and Eileen is 'lively, energetic'. Pitts? Do we even want to go there?
