a rose by any other name
This site is so cool!
Marla is apparently the lazy English way of saying "Marlene." So, my name is really the German and English way of blending of MARIA and MAGDALENE. Referring, therefore, to Mary Magdalene, a character in the New Testament. The name was first used by the German actress and singer Marlene Dietrich, whose real name was Maria Magdalene von Losch.
Justin comes from the Roman name Justinus, which was derived from JUSTUS. This was the name of several early saints including Justin Martyr, a Christian philosopher of 2nd century who was beheaded in Rome.

Does that make me a Darla?
Happy New Year Mary Magdalene!
My favorite meaning's 'lake'.
They were real enlighteneing for me. Apparently "Jackson" is from a surname that means "son of Jack." Now I'm way more in touch with my roots!
Also, both "Jeremiah" and "Jackson" have been steadily climbing the popularity charts over the last 15 years. Let it be known I HAD THE NAMES BEFORE THEY WERE COOL!
Mine can possibly linked to "tattoo" being that the Early Scotsman were tatted and hardcore. RAHHHHH!
At least Darlene didn't claim she should be called "darling"...
Let's hope Justin keeps his head on his shoulders.
Just a follow up: that site doesn't tell the full story of my name.
Jeffrey is from the Germanic/Slavic Gottfried, which means "gift of God's peace".
Louis is from the Spanish/Germanic Luis or Ludwig, which means "famous warrior".
Is it any wonder I'm torn between two natures? Peace, warrior.
