It's Tuesday. And I'm sharing this week's Name post one. Day. LATE.
But it's okay! Yesterday was a complete OFF DAY for me. A total Monday, if you know what I mean. I was in a funk, and I thank my God for my dear hubby & his unconditional love & patience with me. I feel like I was an utter BEAR yesterday---and I HATE that. But God's working in me! And He's so good.
Anywho. I've a new set of names, as usual, for this week! (Dunno why I say that every time, because they'll always be new, right?? *thoughtful*)
Enjoy!

M | Biblical
Possibly means "possession" in Hebrew. This was the given name of a son of Enosh, and a great-grandson of Adam & Eve in the Old Testament.
F | English
Formerly a medieval diminutive of Annis (from Agnes, meaning "chaste"), though since the 18th century it has been more of a diminutive of Ann (from Hannah, meaning "favor, grace). Presently, it is now regarded as an independent name, popular in the United States during the 20th century. Though it derives from a different source, a city in Lorraine region of France bears this name.
M | Late Roman
Latin name meaning "dark skinned." This was the given name of many early saints---most notably a follower of Saint Benedict.
F | Italian, Russian, Hungarian
Italian, Russian, & Hungarian form of Violet, from the English word for the purple flower (ultimately derived from Latin viola).
