Meaning of the Name "Harry" in Hebrew. . .

<< < (3/5) > >>

Mira:


Actually I can see naming John Marcone, John, because originally Jim meant for him to become
a Holy Knight believe it or not.. And early in the series there were signs that he might go that way
but Butters beat him to it.

Waldo=Etymology: From the obsolete English given name Waltheof, from Old English weald ("power") +
Sanya= In Russian Baby Names the meaning of the name Sanya is: Defender of man.

However names like Mab, Sarissa, Titania, do not seem to have any meaning or to be given names at all.

Malcolm comes from= Máel Coluim, or Maol Choluim is a Scottish Gaelic given name meaning "devotee of Saint Columba". And who was St Columba? https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Columba
Columba is historically revered as a warrior saint, and was often invoked for victory in battle.
Perfect for the father of Harry, protector and military general.

Margaret means pearl or jewel.. Humm the jewel in Harry's necklace.

Rashid means= Rashid is the transliteration of two male given names: Arabic: راشد‎ Rāshid and Arabic: رشيد‎ Rashīd (also spelled Rasheed), both meaning 'rightly guided', 'having the true faith'.
That fits doesn't it?

Conspiracy Theorist:
The Harry in Harry Dresden is for Harry Houdini, but that wasn’t his real name it was a stage name, same with Harry Blackstone and David Copperfield, they are actually

Erik Weitz
Harry Bouton
David Seth Kotkin.

Harry goes by the name of Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, but his real name, given by his father is:-

Erik Bouton Kotkin Dresden

No wonder Chauncey was so eager for his true name, and that Harry was rocked when Ferro got his first name correct. Remember Harry doesn’t tell the whole truth about Toot’s real name in the Files, giving a prolonged spiel about the danger of real names so why should he give his own real name or even part of it Willy Nilly?

Erik by the way comes from the old Norse and means eternal ruler, Bouton is old french/German messenger or herald, and Kotkin? Meaning unknown but from Belarus.

It may explain why Mirror Harry can use Longshot Harry’s real name, because neither are actually Harry.

Erik is also the name of one of my cats.

Mira:


Well, it is an open secret that Toot's real name is Domino Toot The Hut.. :-X

Eric is a good old Norse name.. My cat's name is Gabby, because she is very vocal and will carry on a conversation.  She was a tiny kitten screaming clinging to the side of a cage at the Animal Shelter, doomed to be put down when I first saw her.  So I took her home for the weekend to extend her life, that was eighteen years ago, and she is still very vocal, though now her meow is a command.

Conspiracy Theorist:
I find this thread very Meta.

indeed, I'm not even surprised his name means that. Indeed, I've wondered if the GK, as the previous"version" of Dresden isn't very similar to a black dog as far as the graveyard myth goes.
