Baby Names

Your Guide to Selection and Meaning

Human beings have derived a system of names which are meant to distinguish one from the other. These names mean different things to different people. Even the process of naming itself is of interest when trying to understand the culture of a given group of people.


Some names are hereditary and signify a link with many ancestors while others are modern pet references that are meant to almost be humorous. Other names are acquired in life as a consequence of one�s situation, characteristics or behaviour. The prevailing convention in Western society is to have a First name or Given name followed by a middle name and finally a surname.


Thus a Robert Mathew Smith can described Robert as their first name and Smith as their surname. In America there is a new convention of adding Jr. or Sr. in order to distinguish children from their parents. Others have adopted the convention for monarchs to signify the changes in generations. Thus you can have a Jeffery MacDonald III meaning that that person is a third generation member of the family with that name.
