The meaning behind the name is a very important factor when selecting the good name for your newborn. If you're a parent who believes in the statement above, then I congratulate you for picking up the best names that baby name books can give. Aside from having a good answer when you're asked about the origin of your name, you also have a good idea on the name's meaning and that imparts more spice to life as well.
If you are to choose a name based on its etymology, I think it's best if you select those with the most powerful definition. To start with, why not rummage books and websites to choose names that actually means power? To help you, I've done a
quick Internet search for names that you can shortlist, and today, I choose names that begin with the letter G.
Godric, like
Godric Gryffindor and Godric Hollow, is an old English name that means power of God. Garrick, on the other hand is derived from combined Germanic words "ger" and "ric" that means spear power. Godwin is also an old English name that means friend of God and was the real name of the father of King Harold II of England. A name that refers to royalty and to the supreme being? Now, that is power, don't you think?
