Argh! My name doesn't have a meaning!

Question

I looked up my own name on babynames.com and it said it was a "created name," and babynamesworld.com said it had a "literary" origin. does anyone else have this annoying problem?

Answer 1

why dont you go on google and type meaning and your name my names is sara and in greek it means princess =o

Answer 2

My name is Brandess its unique,and my name has meaning because of how it was thought of.So,Even thou it doesn't have a origin,it comes with a wonderful story.  

Answer 3

Nope, not me.

Answer 4

I got these three answers:

Welsh origin:  War leader; gift of splendor

Celtic origin:  Cbief (??? Don't know what that's supposed to mean...)

EDIT: "Chief"??? :D

I also found:  Cedric was a character in Sir Walter Scott's 1819 novel Ivanhoe. Possibly derived from a misspelling of Cerdic, a 6th-century king of Wessex, or from the Welsh Cedrych, meaning "bounty-pattern".

I don't know about you, but I like the first one best. :)

Answer 5

Cedric is celtic (Irish) and it means "loved"

Answer 6

nope.. my name is Jessica and it is Hebrew and its meaning is something like God Beholds or something.

Answer 7

It could be a temporary glitch, I'm not having that problem.

I'd try in a few hours or tomorrow, it might work then. Also, look up names near yours, and see if they are linked. I had that problem also. My name is Trevor and I looked up Travis and Trevor appeared as a "linked" name on a few sites.

Maybe the name is not in the database if it is not common.

Hope this helps, and like I said, just give it alittle bit it might just be a glitch.  

Answer 8

Maybe this will help. This is from behindthename

CEDRIC  

Gender: Masculine

Usage: English

Pronounced: SED-rik   [key]



Invented by Sir Walter Scott for a character in his novel 'Ivanhoe' (1819). Apparently he based it on the actual name Cerdic, the name of the legendary founder of the kingdom of Wessex. Cerdic is of uncertain origin, but could be connected to the British name Ceretic or Caratacos (see the Welsh form CARADOG). The name was also used by Frances Hodgson Burnett for the main character in her novel 'Little Lord Fauntleroy' (1886).

CARADOG  

Gender: Masculine

Usage: Welsh



Derived from Welsh cariadus "beloved". This was the name of a 1st-century British chieftain who rebelled against Roman rule.

Answer 9

I'm sorry. But that must mean it's unique! My name means "to flow down", and i think i'd rather have no meaning. What's your name?

Okay, Cedric's a name that was made for Ivanhoe. And that's a good book! Cedric is the main character's father.

Answer 10

Dont worry my name, Kirissa, is a made up name too. ... nothing personalized ever for me :(

The name Cedric is a baby boy name. The name Cedric comes from the Welsh origin. In Welsh The meaning of the name Cedric is: War leader; gift of splendor.

Answer 11

Try looking up Cedrik.  I know I've met people named Cedrik/Cedric whatever before, so no, it's not a made up name.

Don't feel bad.  My middle name, Morsa, has no "meaning", either.  My mom made it up, so I guess I get to choose what it means.

Answer 12

Here's more info. about the name "Cedric" that you might appreciate...

Possibly from Cerdic (Welsh) "kindly and loved" or Cedrych (Welsh) "spectacular bounty". Used in two 19th-century literary landmarks, "Ivanhoe" and "Little Lord Fauntleroy."

Hope this helps!

***Edit: Oh, and just so you know, yes, there are quite a few "created names" that don't really mean anything.  Jaden is a modern invented name.  Other (girl's) invented names include, Neveah ("heaven" spelled backwards), of course, and...

--Acquanetta

P.S.  You're welcome :)  And "cbief" is probably a typo that was supposed to be "chief."  Finally, the link I gave you says that "Kedrick," which is a "variant of Cedric," is of English origin, and its meaning is "gift of splendor".

Answer 13

I'd also rather have a unique name, mine (Barbara) means "stranger or strange". I mean that might have a mysterious connotation, but it makes me feel just weird. And Barb is just worse, sounds very sharp and painful. I think Cedric is a cool name, makes me think of medieval knights and chivalry. You don't happen to own a white horse do you?
