What does your name mean?

Maybe this has been done before. Oh well.

I'm trying to find out all the possible meanings of my name and it's heritages etc. Some homework i've been given at some young father's group i go to.

Yeah my name some may know already is Elliott. No biggie. And my son's name is Elijah. Some internet sites are saying our name means the same thing (Jehova is my God / Jehova is God). I knew that that that's what Elijah meant and that Elliott is sometimes believed to be derived from Elias (another name for Elijah)

Anyway how important is the meaning of your name, and the meaning behind a name to you.

Anyone got children here?

Why did you choose their name? Like the sound? It's meaning? Didn't have a say?

I've never actually looked up the meaning of my first name.

All I know is that it's a last name and is French.

Just looked it up, couple websites are also saying it originates in Austrailia.

It's meaning is..

French: from a diminutive of Old French garra ‘crock or jar for oil’, presumably a metonymic occupational name for a maker of such crocks or for a producer or seller of aromatic or comestible oils. This name is concentrated in LA.
