the etymology of your name

I've done this a few times. But the origin of my name is so uncertain I end up with too many different meanings.
 
:o :down Jacob the holder of the heel and logan meaning a little hollow? what the hell is a little hollow? i hope it doesn't mean void of my soul or anything
 
First name means "Just", derived from Latin... not that the name itself doesn't give that away, what with "Just" being the first syllable.
Last name isn't listed, but I can tell you that it happens to be, as some names are, one of a family of names which, due to illiteracy, have a number of variations which sound similar because they were all originally the same. In this case, Irving is listed as coming from a Scottish place name meaning "green water" (other variations on the name are Erwin, Ervin, Irwin, Irwing... ugh).
 
My name wouldnt be on there.. but I know it means a child is greater than wealth in Igbo so I'm good.

My name has two meanings.

Derived from the Roman god of war 'Mars' also known as 'Ares'.

From latin 'Mas' meaning literally 'Male'.


I'm no longer angry at my folks for naming me after a Italian plumber with a mushroom fetish.

It pretty much fits me, I'm a soldier and have been in two wars and I'm a Aries and my favorite color is red. Go figure.
 
Nothing new here. Jason comes from two sources, Greek for to heal and from, of course, the Greek mythological hero. So either way you cut it, my name is badass.
