Anna:

You will find that in the Bible Adam is given the task of naming animals - but not the task of naming people.

Why is that?
Nobody knows.
It is one of the great mysteries of Scripture.

The most likely reason is that when you give someone or something a name, you are subjecting them to a label and identity of your own volition - and while that may be appropriate in the case of animals, it violates free will and equal respect among humans who are naturally gifted with both.

Many early cultures were superstitious about names, just as many refused to be photographed. It's like a name or a photo captures too much and takes on a life of its own. It's scary when you think about it.

I think of it every time I watch an old movie and realize I'm seeing the images and hearing the voices of actors who are long dead.

I think of that too when I happen to look at a box of Civil War era photos I inherited. I don't know if I'm related to any of these men, but their long-dead faces look back at me from a time in the summer of 1863 when they stopped at a St. Louis photo studio and had a picture taken. That moment is still there, still present.

Today we take people's names and pictures for granted. We don't think about these issues, but we should.

In earlier times, the silent ban on naming people led to the use of descriptions and titles and even animal totems in place of names - for example, King Arthur means King Bear and was not his real name, which was kept secret.

And Lancelot was a pet name given to her son by his mother, Queen Elaine, the actual Lady of the Lake. It means “little piece of land” and refers to the island where Lancelot was born and where he spent his early years in his mother's homeland of Auvergne in France.

Anne of Green Gables, Robin of Locksley, the Green Knight, Sven of the Silver Skates, the Madman of Parma, the Venerable Bede and many, many more bear witness to the long tradition of using descriptions as names, and you see this substitution too still common today in performance names and pen names artist names and author names of writers.

Even when we choose a name for ourselves, there is an uncanny awareness that we are adopting a "persona" that may be very different. After all, Clark Kent is another version of Superman.

One hundred and sixty years ago, during the Civil War, middle names were still rare. Hiram Grant had to create his alter ego, Ulysses S. Grant, and even he didn't assign a name to the "S." Very many presidents, even in recent history, have had or used only two names, a first and a last name. Calvin Coolidge. Theodore Roosevelt. Ronald Reagan.

To this day, the proper noun in English is two-part, not three-part, and consists of a name as we wrote it down in first grade: Jane Nichols, Stuart Graham, Oliver Nash. Using a middle name or even an initial like “Ulysses S. Grant” smacks of another language and a continental European tradition.

A monster like Anna Maria Wilhelmina Hanna Sophia Riezinger-von Reitzenstein von Lettow-Vorbeck isn't a name, it's a family tree.

Each of these names not only has a meaning, it is a memorial to ancestors who are long dead.

We can learn a lot about ourselves, our history, and our world by paying attention to the meaning of words, and especially the meaning of names.

Technically most modern names continue to be descriptive thanks to our ancestors' phobia of naming people, for example "Anna" means both "mother" and "grace".

The name William (including the French form, Guilleroi), which figures prominently in my husband's family throughout known history, means "Resolute Protector" - and so were they and so is he.

We have recently pointed out the connection between the Armorican people of Normandy (pronounced “Amorican” by British Northumbrians) and the name of our country, America.

Similarly, we have the chicken and egg tale of Rome and the Romanians (not exactly Trojans, but related), later referred to as Romans.

We could also hint at the lineage of Aragon, the inspiration for JRR Tolkien's hero Aragorn, who returns to the land of Middle-earth with an army of undead, ghosts and the faefolk to save humanity.

If names mean anything, then our savior in the present will be a Spaniard of the royal house of Aragon, descended from Enki, the righteous king of the land.

As we chew on this prophecy, embedded in Sanskrit, Hebrew, and Aramaic, we can also examine the meaning of Jacob, Israeli, and Jew—for all of these names also have a part to play in the story.

Jacob means "supplanter" or "usurper"—an illustrative name, if there ever was one.

Israel means “fighters of God”, which can mean two very different things – either one who fights for God or, more likely, one who fights with God, in the sense of fighting with God, or fighting against Him.

And Jude comes from "Yehudi" - someone who hails from the kingdom of Judah, one of the last remnants of the Hebrews who "crossed over."

It remains to be clarified what “passed over” means? The Red Sea? The wilderness? The abyss of space? Passover night? The land of Canaan? The western sea?

How far could they drift in forty days and forty nights?

Like the Roma, the Jews were wanderers, but as Tolkien said, not all who wanderer are lost.

Those who quarrel with God are still with us, as are those who have defected, and so are the many sons of Jacob.

Swirling somewhere among the stars tonight are the Tuatha de Danaan, the people of Goddess Danu, the Celtic goddess who embodies the feminine trinity: maiden, mother and crone.

Something as cold and old as the mountains in winter, tells of the Romans poisoning sacred springs with iron rods, men bleeding the earth and fires consuming them. It resonates with their lies and self-esteem as they now speak of the "Rods of God" and remembering the Great Plasma War.

We have come to remember what has been forgotten.

We carry the name of the one who loved us in our DNA; the king once and to be is now in the living present, and there he will abide.
