Zuni !! I like that word  Literally, the Zuni are the "children of the sun." If you like the word Zuni, try this one out. Their name for the Sun Father is "Apoyan Tachu." Every time I hear that name, I want to say "Gesundheit."  But they're a wonderfullly peaceful, spiritual people, and there's only about 12,000 of them left. |

If anyone has my r_ropes@bellsouth.net email address saved, you can delete it. I got tired of subsidizing AT&T. |

12,000 is still better than none at all |

My name, Gwyneth, means 'blessed' apparently. I don't know too much about its origins except that it's old Welsh. But I've grown to like my name. I used to be very self conscious about my name b/c its kind of different from the norm. But now I appreciate having something that not everyone has.  I guess I like unusual names. |

I came across this place, http://www.namenerds.com/. They don't have meanigs for a good number of names, but they have a fair number of them along with alternate names. |

Hmmmm....Charles, or Karl, means 'man', or manly. Not sure what relevance this is, but my wife, Bernice, or 'Bringer of Victory', can run a sawmill...LOL. Maybe it means 'bringer of 2 x 4's'... |
