  2. Winings    

    Last name origin & meaning:

    German: meaning unknown.

    Although this name only has one 'n' in it's German form, in America or another English speaking country it would be natural to spell it with two, so I believe it is exactly the same name.

  3. UK answer.

    I couldn't find any thing for the names Josianna or Winnings, I did find Josie, Anna and Marie for you though, your first name really is unique isn't it, it's really nice.

    Josie

    (f.) English: pet form of Josephine, occasionally used as an independent given name in the 20th century. (m.) Scottish: pet form of Joseph, in Gaelic Seòsaidh.

    Anna

    Latinate variant of Anne, in common use as a given name in English, Gaelic, Italian, German, Dutch, Scandinavian languages, and Slavonic languages. Among people with a classical education, it has from time to time been associated with Virgil's Aeneid, where it is borne by the sister of Dido, Queen of Carthage. This Phoenician name may ultimately be of Semitic origin, and thus cognate with the biblical Anne. However, the connection, if it exists, is indirect rather than direct. Cognate: Spanish: Ana.

    Pet forms: Scottish Gaelic: Annag. Swedish: Annika. Polish: Anula, Anusia. Czech: Anin(k)a, Andul(k)a, Anuška. Russian: Asya.

    Marie Name Meaning and History

    French and English: from the popular medieval female personal name, Latin Maria. This was the name of the mother of Christ in the New Testament, as well as several other New Testament figures. It derives from Aramaic Maryam (Biblical Hebrew Miryam), but the vernacular forms have been influenced by the Roman family name Marius (which is of uncertain origin). The Hebrew name is likewise of uncertain etymology, but perhaps means ‘wished-for child’, from an Egyptian root mrj with the addition of the Hebrew feminine diminutive suffix -am. St. Jerome understood it as a compound of mar ‘drop’ + yam ‘sea’, which he rendered as Latin stilla maris, later altered to stella maris ‘star of the sea’, whence the medieval Christian liturgical phrase.

    French (Marié): nickname for a man newly married, from the past participle of marier ‘to marry’.

    Hope this helps.
