What's in a name?

Ernesto, Leonel, Macias, the Third.

Ernesto, meaning earnest, sincere.
Leonel, meaning Lion.
Macias... now, Macias is a tough one.. buuuut, I've heard it could have derived from the Spanish word 'messias'. which is Messiah.

SOOOOOO, in that, I give you this self translation of my name: Earnest and sincere Lion of the Messiah.
WHAT NAO!?
Don't play with the Lion of the Messiah, I mean it, sincerely :)

Our names hold significance to who we are, in this, i do believe. God named people in the bible, or instructed their parents to give them certain names. I still believe God gave us our names for a reason, because we'e his children, and if someone messed up our name, he renames us.

With that said, it's late and I'm tired.

  1. I agree. I believe God knows our names, why not, he knows the number of hairs on our head! Of course he knows our name!

    & I do think the meaning of names is significant.
