A HISTORIA DOS NOSOS NOMES COORDINADORA: Mª Isabel Mato Torres

“Maruxa Mallo” Secondary School

This activity was carried out by all 3rd and 4th year ESO students from “Maruxa Mallo” Secondary School for the Comenius Project “Young Reporters”, 2009-2011.

Most of the information was taken from different web pages, although some books were also used. Surfing the Internet and reading in English about their own names meant hard work for the students and it helped them improve their competence both in a foreign language and in the use of new technologies.

Some teachers from the school have also participated, either in the name research or checking students’ final product, in English and in Galician language.

Esta actividade foi realizada por todo o alumnado de 3º e 4º da ESO do IES “Maruxa Mallo” para o Proxecto Comenius “Novos Reporteiros”, 2009-2011.

A maior parte da información está sacada de diferentes páxinas de Internet, aínda que se usaron tamén algúns libros. Navegar pola rede e ler en inglés sobre o seu propio nome supuxo unha ardua tarefa para o estudantado e axudoulle a mellorar a súa competencia tanto no idioma estranxeiro como no uso de novas tecnoloxías.

Tamén participaron algúns profesores do centro, uns na propia investigación do nome e outros comprobando o produto final dos rapaces e rapazas, en inglés e en galego.

Mª Isabel Mato Torres, English teacher, author and responsible for this activity wants to thank: - Lucía Rouco Penabad, English teacher, for contributing to the success of this work.

- Marisol Liste Noya, English teacher, for collaborating in the development of this research and for checking the final English version.

- Alba Lorenzo Buyo: Spanish language teacher, for helping the students with this task.

- Antonio Sayáns Gómez, Galician Language teacher, for revising the final Galician version.

- Rosa Maceiras Miñán, Spanish Language teacher and the school Principal, for embellishing the original chart design.

HISTORIA Nunca foi moi común no mundo anglófono, onde, ás veces, se usa como feminino na actualidade.

O nome úsase desde a Idade Media, fundamentalmente polos católicos románicos, especialmente no Mediterráneo. Máis tarde, foi introducido en USA vía hispano-falantes.

MEANING "Priceless”, 'inestimable'

ORIGIN Anthony comes from the Roman family name Antonius, a name of Etruscan origin.

The name "Anthony" was associated with Greek anthos "flower", which caused the addition of the h in the 17th century.

HISTORY The most notable member of the Roman family was the general Marcus Antonius who, for a period in the 1st century BC, ruled the Roman Empire jointly with Augustus. When their relationship turned sour, he and his mistress Cleopatra were attacked and forced to commit suicide, as related in Shakespeare's tragedy 'Antony and Cleopatra' (1606).

The name became regularly used in the Christian world due to the fame of Saint Anthony the Great, a 3rd-century Egyptian hermit who founded Christian monasticism.

Its popularity was reinforced in the Middle Ages by the 13th-century Saint Anthony of Padua, the patron saint of Portugal.

SIGNIFICADO ‘Que non ten prezo’, ‘inestimable’

ORIXE Antonio procede do nome familiar romano Antonius, un nome de orixe etrusca. O nome Anthony asóciase ó grego anthos ‘flor’, que provocou o engadido do h no século XVII.

HISTORIA O membro máis destacado da familia romana era o xeneral Marco Antonio que, durante unha época no século I a.C. gobernou o Imperio Romano xunto con Augusto.

Cando a súa relación se enturbou, el e a súa dona Cleopatra foron atacados e obrigados a suicidarse, como narra Shakespeare na súa traxedia Antonio e Cleopatra (1606).

O nome usouse de forma regular no mundo cristián grazas á fama de Santo Antonio o Grande, un eremita do século III que fundou o monacato cristián. A súa popularidade reforzouse na Idade Media, no século XIII, por Santo Antonio de Padua, o santo patrón de Portugal.

HISTORY

Saint Blaise (Armenian) was a physician, and bishop of Sebastea. According to his Acta Sanctorum, he was martyred by being beaten, attacked with iron carding combs, and beheaded. He is known as San Biagio in Italy, and San Blas in Spain.

He is often shown with the instruments of his martyrdom, iron combs. He blessed throats and effected many miracles. The similarity of these instruments of torture to wool combs led to his adoption as the patron saint of woolcombers in particular, and the wool trade in general. He may also be depicted with crossed candles. Such crossed candles are used for the blessing of throats on the feast day of Blaise, which falls on 3 february, the day after Candlemas on the Roman Catholic calendar of saints. Blaise is traditionally believed to intercede in cases of throat illnesses, especially for fish-bones stuck in the throat.

Nas representacións sempre aparece cos instrumentos da súa tortura, os peites de ferro. El bendicía as gargantas e fixo moitos milagres. A semellanza destes instrumentos de tortura cos peites de cardar a la levaron a que fora adoptado como santo patrón dos cardadores de la en particular, e o comercio da la en xeral. Tamén se representa con velas cruzadas. Estas velas úsanse para bendicir gargantas o día de san Brais, que cae o 3 de febreiro, o día despois da Candelaria no calendario católico romano. Tradicionalmente, crese que Brais intercedía en casos de enfermidades de garganta, especialmente nos casos de atragantamento con espiñas de peixe.

ORIGIN From the Germanic name Karl, which was derived from the Common Germanic word Churl, which was used to indicate “a free man”, but not one belonging to the nobility.

However, an alternative theory states that it is derived from the common Germanic element hari meaning "army, warrior".

HISTORY The popularity of the name in continental Europe was due to the fame of Charles the Great, Charlemagne, a king of the Franks who came to rule over most of Europe. It was borne by Holy Roman Emperors, kings of France, Spain, Portugal, Sweden and Hungary. The name did not become common in Britain until the 17th century when it was carried by the Stuart king Charles I. It had been introduced into the Stuart royal family by Mary Queen of Scots, who had been raised in France.

Famous bearers: naturalist Charles Darwin, theory of evolution, novelist Charles Dickens, ('Great Expectations', 'A Tale of Two Cities'), French statesman Charles de Gaulle, and American cartoonist Charles Schulz, ('Peanuts' comic strip).

ORIXE Do nome xermánico Karl, que deriva da palabra común xermánica Churl, que se usaba para indicar ‘home libre’, pero non un que pertenza á nobreza.

No entanto, unha teoría alternativa afirma que deriva do elemento xermánico común hari que significa ‘exército, guerreiro’.

HISTORIA A popularidade do nome na Europa continental débese á fama de Carlomagno, un rei franco que chegou a gobernar case toda Europa. Chamáronse así santos emperadores romanos, reis de Francia, España, Portugal, Suecia e Hungría. En Gran Bretaña non se popularizou ata o século XVII co rei Estuardo Carlos I. Fora introducido na familia real Estuardo por Mary Queen of Scots, que fora criada en Francia.

This name owes its popularity to two New Testament characters, John the Baptist, and the apostle John.

HISTORY This was the name of six Russian rulers, including the 15th-century Ivan III the Great and 16th-century Ivan IV the Terrible, the first tsar of Russia. It was also borne by nine emperors of Bulgaria.

Ivanhoe is a medieval variant Sir Walter Scott used for the Saxon hero of his novel "Ivanhoe".

Other notable bearers include the Russian author Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883), the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov, the English poet John Milton (1608-1674), the English poet John Keats, American author John Steinbeck and the assassinated American president John F. Kennedy (1917-1963)

SIGNIFICADO ‘Deus é compasivo’, ‘Yavéh é clemente’, ‘Yavéh é misericordioso’

ORIXE Iván é un nome de pía masculino eslavo, que se corresponde coa forma inglesa John.

O nome procede da palabra grega do Novo Testamento Ioannes (non do latín Io(h) anne), que, á súa vez, deriva do hebreo Yochanan, ‘Yavéh é misericordioso’.

Este nome debe a súa popularidade a dous personaxes do Novo testamento, Xoán o Bautista e o apóstolo Xoán.

HISTORIA Este foi o nome de seis gobernantes rusos, incluído Iván III o Grande do século XV e Iván IV o Terrible do século XVI, o primeiro tsar de Rusia. Tamén se chamaron así nove emperadores de Bulgaria.

Ivanhoe é unha variante medieval que Sir Walter Scott usou para o heroe saxón da súa novela Ivanhoe.

Outros notables usuarios son: o autor ruso Ivan Turgenev (1818-1883), o psicólogo ruso Ivan Pavlov, o poeta inglés John Milton (1608 -1674), o poeta inglés John Keats, o autor americano John Steinbeck e o presidente americano asasinado John F. Kennedy (1917 -1963)

ORIGIN English form of the Late Latin name Iacomus, derived from Iakobos, the New Testament Greek form of the Hebrew name Ya'aqov. This was the name of two apostles, Saint James the Greater, John's brother, who was beheaded under Agrippa in the Book of Acts, and James the Lesser, son of Alphaeus. James the Just is also mentioned in the Bible as the brother of Jesus.

The English names Jacob and James derive from the same source, with James coming from Latin Iacomus, a later variant of Iacobus. Unlike English, many languages do not have separate spellings for the two names.

HISTORY There are many saints called James, the most famous being the Apostle Saint James the Elder.

As a common name it has many namesakes: the author James Joyce or the fictional British spy James Bond ("007"). James has been used for royalty: two Kings of England, James I + James II Six US Presidents: James Madison, James Monroe, James K. Polk, James Buchanan, James Garfield, and James "Jimmy" Carter. It is the most popular first name for US Presidents.

In England, Jacob was mainly regarded as a Jewish name during the Middle Ages, though the variant James was used among Christians.

Jacob came into general use as a Christian name after the Protestant Reformation.

ORIGIN Germanic origin. It derived from liut “people” and bald “bold, brave”. Then “liut” was altered to the Latin leo “lion”.

Leobalde, a village in Tordoia (Galicia) has this same origin.

HISTORY A common name among German royalty (Babenbergs–Habsburgs). Saint Leopold (Melk,1173) was a 12th-century Babenberg margrave of Austria, who is now considered the patron of that country. Called The Pious or the Brave for his exemplary Christian daily life and for his victory over a border invasion, he married the emperor Henry IV’s daughter, Agnes, and had 10 daughters and 8 sons. He founded numerous monasteries (Matiazell, Heiligenkreux, Klosterneuburg...)

The name was also borne by two Habsburg Holy Roman Emperors and three kings of Belgium. Since the 19th century it has been occasionally used in England, originally in honour of Queen Victoria's uncle, a king of Belgium, after whom she named one of her sons.

Its earliest form comes from the Germanic Hluot-Wig “fight undefeated, glorious and victorious”. From Latin Ludovicus, Aloysius and Greek Ludoviko also derive many of the variations.

HISTORY This was the name of 18 kings of France, starting with Louis I the son of Charlemagne, and including Louis IX (Saint Louis) who led two crusades and Louis XIV (the 'Sun King') who was the ruler of France during the height of its power, the builder of the Palace of Versailles, and the longest reigning monarch in the history of Europe.

Apart from among royalty, this name was only moderately popular in France during the Middle Ages. After the French Revolution, when Louis XVI was guillotined, it became less common. The Normans brought the name to England, where it was usually spelled Lewis, though the spelling Louis has been more common in America.

A súa forma primitiva provén do xermánico Hluot-Wig ‘loitador invicto, glorioso e vitorioso’. Do latín Ludovicus, Aloysius e do grego Ludoviko tamén derivan moitas das varicións.

HISTORIA Este foi o nome de 18 reis de Francia, empezando por Luís I, fillo de Carlomagno, e incluíndo a Luís IX (San Luís), que liderou dúas cruzadas e Luís XIV (o Rei Sol), que foi o gobernante de Francia durante o auxe do seu poder, o construtor do Palacio de Versalles, e o monarca de reinado máis longo na historia de Europa.

Ademais de entre a realeza, este nome foi só moderadamente popular en Francia durante a Idade Media. Despois da Revolución Francesa, cando Luís XVI foi guillotinado, fíxose menos común. Os normandos levaron o nome a Inglaterra, onde normalmente se escribía Lewis, pero en América a forma ortográfica Louis foi máis común.

HISTORY This was the foretold name of the Messiah in the Old Testament. In the spelling “Manouel” it was also used in the Byzantine empire, notably by two emperors. It is possible this form of the name was transmitted to Spain and Portugal from Byzantium, since there were connections between the royal families (king Ferdinand III of Castile married Elisabeth of Hohenstaufen, who had Byzantine roots, and had a son named Manuel). The name has been used in Iberia since at least the 13th century and was borne by two kings of Portugal.

HISTORIA Este foi o nome prognosticado do Mesías no Antigo Testamento. A forma Manouel tamén foi usada no imperio bizantino por dous emperadores. Posiblemente fora esta a forma do nome que foi transmitida a España e Portugal desde Bizantina, xa que houbo conexións entre as familias reais (o rei Fernando III de Castela casou con Isabel de Hohenstaufen, que tiña raíces bizantinas, e tiveron un fillo chamado Manuel). O nome foi utilizado na Península Ibérica desde, polo menos, o século XIII e foi o nome de dous reis de Portugal.

En Inglaterra úsase desde o século XVI coa forma Emmanuel e Immanuel, aínda que non de forma masiva. O nome foi máis popular en Europa continental, especialmente en España e Portugal (coa formas de Manuel e Manoel)

MEANING “Who is like God?”

ORIGIN From the Hebrew name Mikha'el meaning "who is like God?". This is a rhetorical question, implying no person is like God. Biblical name derived from the elements miv meaning “who” ; el meaning “God, powerful”

HISTORY Saint Michael was one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition and the only one identified as an archangel in the Bible. In the Book of Revelation in the New Testament he is portrayed as the leader of heaven's armies, and thus is considered the patron saint of soldiers.

Many saints, emperors, and kings have borne the name, and there are many variants, male and female.

The popularity of the saint led to the name being used by nine Byzantine emperors, including Michael VIII Palaeologus who restored the empire in the 13th century. It has been common in Western Europe since the Middle Ages, and in England since the 12th century.

Most of the epistles in the New Testament were authored by him. Due to the renown of Saint Paul the name became common among early Christians, being borne by other early saints and six popes. In England it was relatively rare during the Middle Ages, but became more frequent beginning in the 17th century.

Patrick is a name derived from either the Latin name Patricius “patrician” nobleman” (a title) or from an earlier Celtic name. It was Gaelicised as Pádraic or Pádraig, and owing to the importance of Saint Patrick in Irish history, it is an especially popular name in Ireland.

HISTORY The Romans once were divided, socially and pol i ti ca l ly, i nto p lebe ian s (commoners) and patricians (aristocratics).

This name was adopted in the 5thcentury by Saint Patrick. He was a Romanized Briton who was captured and enslaved in his youth by Irish raiders. After six years of servitude he escaped home, but he eventually became a bishop and went back to Ireland as a missionary. He is traditionally credited with Christianizing the island, and is regarded as Ireland's patron saint.

In England and elsewhere in Europe during the Middle Ages this name was used in honour of the saint. However, it was not generally given in Ireland before the 17th century because it was considered too sacred for everyday use. It has since become very common there.

Patricio é un nome que, ou ben deriva do nome latino Patricius ‘patricio, nobre’ (un título), ou ben dun nome celta anterior. Foi gaelizado como Pádraic ou Pádraig, e debido á importancia de san Patricio na historia irlandesa, é un nome moi popular en Irlanda.

HISTORIA Nunha época, os romanos estaban divididos, socialmente e politicamente, en plebeos (comúns, sen títulos) e patricios (aristócratas).

Este nome foi adoptado no século V por san Patricio. Era un inglés romanizado que foi capturado e escravizado de mozo polos invasores irlandeses. Despois de seis anos de escravitude fuxiu para a casa, e acabou sendo bispo e voltou a Irlanda de misioneiro.

Tradicionalmente, atribúeselle a cristianización da illa e é considerado o santo patrón de Irlanda.

En Inglaterra e o resto de Europa durante a Idade Media este nome era usado en honor do santo. No entanto, antes do século XVII non se lle poñía ós nenos en Irlanda porque se consideraba demasiado sagrado para o uso cotián. Pero, logo, fíxose moi común alí.

MEANING “Stone, rock”

ORIGIN Derived from the Greek Petros meaning "stone”. This is a translation used in most versions of the New Testament of the name Cephas, meaning "stone" in Aramaic, which was given to the apostle Simon by Jesus. Simon Peter was the most prominent of the apostles during Jesus's ministry and is often considered the first pope.

In the Bible Jesus alluded to the meaning that Peter shall be the 'rock' on which the church would be built.

HISTORY Due to the renown of the apostle, this name became common throughout the Christian world (in various spellings). In England the Normans introduced it in the Old French form Piers, which was gradually replaced by the spelling Peter starting in the 15th century.

Besides the apostle, other saints by this name include the 11th-century reformer Saint Peter Damian and the 13th-century preacher Saint Peter Martyr. It was also borne by rulers of Aragon, Portugal, and Russia, including the Russian tsar Peter the Great (1672-1725), who defeated Sweden in the Great Northern War.

SIGNIFICADO ‘Pedra, rocha’

ORIXE Deriva do grego Petros que significa ‘rocha’. Esta é a tradución usada na maioría das versións do Novo testamento do nome Cephas, que significa ‘pedra’ en arameo, nome dado por Xesús ó apóstolo Simón. Simón Pedro era o apóstolo máis prominente durante o ministerio de Xesús e está considerado o primeiro papa.

Na Biblia, Xesús alude a Pedro como a rocha sobre a que se construirá a Igrexa.

HISTORIA Debido á sona do apóstolo, este nome volveuse moi común no mundo cristián (con varias ortografías). Os normandos introducírono en Inglaterra na forma francesa antiga Piers, que gradualmente foi substituído pola ortografía Peter a comezo do século XV. Á parte do apóstolo, tamén levou este nome o santo reformador do século XI Saint Peter Damian e o predicador do século XIII Saint Peter Martyr. Outros usuarios foron os gobernantes de Aragón, Portugal, e Rusia, incluído o tsar ruso Pedro o Grande (1672-1725), que derrotou a Suecia na Gran Guerra do Norte.
