The History of my Identity
My mother chose my name of Elliott simply because she liked it and it was more of an original name when i was born. My name does not have a history to it. I am the first Elliott of the family. While my name holds no history it does hold a meaning. The name Elliott is of Hebrew origin and means " The lord is our god." While my name has an origin in Hebrew I myself am not of Hebrew. Originally my mom wanted to name me Jude, and while it may not have made it as my first name it still found a way to walk itself into my name. I say this because Jude is my first middle name. I like my first name as Elliott, my name is not that common and I like the fact that it is not. I have only ever met one person with the name Elliott. Even though my name has become a more common name as time has marched forward, I feel that it is still original for someone of my age to have. I would not want any other name.

ReplyDeleteWould you have rather have your name Jude or Elliot?
ReplyDeleteElliott, great job! Jude is my first son's name. That is pretty cool. I have only met one other boy with the name Jude.
ReplyDeleteI like how you talked about how you were named and how even your other choice of name ended up being apart of it.
