Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.
Today’s prompt needs no research for me. I know the meaning of my name. My first name is Barbara and the name comes from Greek, meaning foreign or strange. I assume that the word barbarian is derived from that, and I can assure you I’m not a savage! Ha!
I think it’s fitting that I spent my professional career in international education and traveled to many countries and did many cross-cultural workshops along the way. The name suits me! In fact, I took this photo in Spain.
I was named after a great aunt on both sides of my family and that name is also the middle name of one of my grandmothers. That has more meaning to me that the origins of my name.

I’m leaving a comment to see if you actually check to see if someone’s commented on what you’ve written. 🙂 It’s intriguing finding out what one’s name means. You made me look mine up (the name I use instead of my birth name), and it means “Who resembles God”; how about that! It would probably freak out almost everyone who knows me, being an atheist. lol
