What's in a Name?

Good morning, lovelies!
How was your weekend? I don't know where you are, but our weather has been simply GORGEOUS!!
Here are some names for you. Any requests for next week?

Kristoff Gender: Masculine Usage: English, Swedish, Hungarian, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish Pronunciation: KRIS-tawf, KRIS-tof (English), KREESH-tof (Swedisht)
Meaning & History Variant of Christoph, which hails from the given name Christopher, meaning "bearing Christ."
You may think immediately of a dear character who bears this name in Disney's Frozen. :] Isn't that photo AWESOME??

Kelsi Gender: Feminine Usage: English (modern) Pronunciation: KEL-see

Variant of the name Kelsey, which may possibly mean "Cenel's island."

Nicolas Gender: Masculine Usage: Biblical, English, French, Greek Pronunciation: NIK-o-las (English), nee-ko-LAH (French)

Narah Gender: Feminine Usage: English (rare), Biblical Pronunciation: NARE-rah
Meaning & History

Variant of the Biblical name Naarah or Na'arah, meaning "girl" or "maiden" in Hebrew. This was the given name of a wife of Ashur of the tribe of Judah (1 Chron. 4:5-6), as well as the name of a town east of Beth-el on the border of Ephraim (Josh. 16:7), possibly the same as Naaran (1 Chron. 7:28).

Another great selection! I love that picture of Kristoff. (I feel silly asking, but is it fanart or a photo? I thought art, but my brother thought it might be real.)

Hello, Tracey! And thanks! :] It is not a silly question. But I do believe it is a very good rendition of fanart with photoshop. If I understand correctly, it could be a mixture of an actual photo with art added. Hope that makes sense...

Thanks for commenting!!! ^_^

Love Narah, what a pretty name! Thanks for sharing more names & meanings with us. ^-^ I wonder if we'll be seeing a rise in Kristoffs over the next few years? Or Elsas and Annas, heehe
