What does your name mean?

I am Irish, my name either means Gentle Handsome One or Lying Sack of Shit, you decide.
 
When you wake up in the morning and look out through the window, what you see? That is my name.
 
From the Greek name Φιλιππος (Philippos) which means "friend of horses", composed of the elements φιλος (philos) "friend, lover" and ‘ιππος (hippos) "horse". This was the name of five kings of Macedon, including Philip II the father of Alexander the Great. The name appears in the New Testament belonging to two people who are regarded as saints. First, one of the twelve apostles, and second, an early figure in the Christian church known as Philip the Deacon.

This name was initially more common among Eastern Christians, though it came to the West by the Middle Ages. It was borne by six kings of France and five kings of Spain. It was regularly used in England during the Middle Ages, although the Spanish king Philip II, who attempted an invasion of England, helped make it less common by the 17th century. It was revived in the English-speaking world in the 19th century. Famous bearers include the Elizabethan courtier and poet Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586) and the American science fiction novelist Philip K. Dick (1928-1982).

Or the short version

Short form of PHILIP and various other names beginning with Phil, often a Greek element meaning "friend, dear, beloved".

Post as little or as much as you want about the meaning of your name (meaning, origin, family history, historical significance, ect).

For the sake of remaining anonymous, don't feel like you need to post your real or full name. You can talk about your name without actually saying it. If someone has the same or similar name as you, keep it cool. :)

I thought this was our user name meaning!

My irl name means "rebellion" or "wished-for child" or "sea of bitterness" (thanks, Google!) Don't think I was named for those things though. It's a family name. My last name was changed by one of my grandfathers.
