My name

What’s in a name


My name is a pink lily. It’s not one of a kind, you come across it anywhere. It is simple yet pretty. Even though to some it’s unoriginal and plain, it’s still me. My name is a stalker, it creeps behind me where ever I go but it’s not scary because you know it’s a friend. Tanya is a stary night, the most beautiful thing in the world in my parents eyes. My name is Slavic. It means Russian saint. I am not Russian neither a saint but I love my name, Tanya because its mine. Usually the English spelling for my name is Tania. The German spelling is Tanja. My name is also Russian. In Russia it would be short form for Tatania and Tatyana. Unlike alot of people I have a middle name.

My middle name is my cruella devil but yet it is part of my religion. It is cruella because it always finds a way to humiliate me. It embarrasses me not because it’s a horrible name but because I absolutely detest the name. Maria is a wedding gown, elegant smooth and fragile where as I am Serena Williams, strong, bold although feminine at times. Maria is part of my religion because it is the Latin word for Mary who in my religion is the mother of Jesus. My name's origin is not only Latin but other countries too. For example Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Dutch, Scandinavian, Polish, and Czech. Though my name's origin is latin and hebrew. And finally something that everyone in my family share. Our surname.

My surname is a sign saying "this way." It leads you to my religion just by hearing it.You can guess it is Christian because the name is mentioned in the Christian bible when Jesus rises Lazarus back from the dead.  Lazarus is a rare type of wine, not common, old and strong. I like that because I am someone who longs to stand out. My name in greek is lazaros.
