Browse First Name Meanings by Category and Culture

Important Note:

The list of categories below is just one way of looking at the classification of a name.  It is not meant to be definitive. In many cases these categories are suggestions from our visitors. Also, when you consider the names in each category, please realize that the names themselves are suggestions and submissions from our users. We only make obvious edits to classifications (i.e. "Frank" is not a Chinese origin name and would not be added to the Chinese list even though submitted by somebody).

We have not attempted to certify the national or ethnic origin of these names, nor do we recommend these names for your use. It is vitally important to choose a Balanced Name. Your name is the single most important influence on the development of your personality and creates your destiny. This wisdom is contained within the Kabalarian Philosophy.

Name analysis below is based on the English language

The analysis of the names on our web site is based on the 26-letter English language alphabet. Names used in a different language and culture where the alphabet has a different order, or a different number of letters, or different symbols, or different vowels or consonants would have a different effect in creating your personality and personal characteristics.

The spelling of your name using the English alphabet would have an influence only to the extent of your use of English. Please call us for further information.

Thought for the Day
  • An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. –Mahatma Gandhi

  • Every situation holds a lesson to be learned. –Alfred J. Parker

  • There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better, for worse, as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till. The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried. –Ralph Waldo Emerson

  • They are simple little words when you think of them; self control, self discipline, and selflessness, and yet they represent a world of consciousness in thought, because every thought, every word, and every action can be fitted into one of those three categories. –Kabalarian Teachings
