First Name Etymology

SUMMARY: Learn the historical origins of popular first names.

Ever curious about the history of your first name? Did you know the name "Peter" is derived from the Greek word for "stone"? Sarah in Hebrew means "lady" or "princess". The word Robert means "bright fame". The name "Patrick" meant "nobleman" in Latin.

These and other facts can be found at the "Behind The Name" website. Plus you can find out if a king or queen shared your first name, a list of names that mean "lucky", a first name translator ("Andrew" in Russian could be "Andrei" or "Andrey"), and more.
