Bakersfield, CA ( prsafe ) February 13, 2012 - Many people across the world have wondered: "What does my name mean?" While many parents choose their children's names based only on what is popular or pleasing to the ear, most traditions focused on names with specific meanings: strength, hope, generosity, patience. The meanings and origins were often lost over time, but the general rule across the world and throughout time was that all names were significant. They reflected the hopes, values, and professions of the people who created them, holding keys to rich traditions and deep cultural roots. This approach is becoming popular again, and one website is leading the way. Individuals all over the world go to MFNames.com to gain insight into the history, origins, usage, and meaning of names.

A representative for MFNames.com explains: "Name meanings are very helpful for expecting parents who are trying to choose just the right name for a new child.
