What does his name means?

[citlalli]

Does anyone of you know? I'm really curious. Is it an irish word? And what about his bro and sisters names?

Please tell me or give you opinions.

I just looked it up on babynames.com and it's Celtic/Gaelic and it means war. I'm not sure about his siblings though.

[lemonade]

I had to go look them up. LOL!

Both his sister's names are Irish. Orla means Golden and Sile means Youthful. I couldn't find a meaning for Páidi though

Cillian's name also means 'strife' right?

[lemonade]

I looked it up on several other sites and got "strife" and "battle" so you're right.

[spikie2]

Yaay, me memory is still somewhat working.

I asked it someone ages ago who had this book with the meanings of very, very many names. I forgot about almsot every single name I asked about exept Cillian's, I have written everything down somewhere though. Somwhere....

I think my name, Cindy, came from the nickname Cynthia from the Greek goddess Artemis.

haha! That's cool - Greek and Irish names are always the best!...I even tend to like hebrew names??

mine - Elizabeth - means close to God ?? umm.. ok

looking up names is fun! thanks for the idea lemonade

I guess names don't mean everything though because I mean Cillian isn't very... harsh?? I guess haha I mean I don't know him but he doesn't really scream WAR AND STRIFE to me.

[spikie2]

No, but strife could be sort of. Maybe not in English, I don't know, but tranlated into Dutch it can be also explained on a good way.

I think it's pretty cool that my name is after a nickname of a greek goddess, wel atleast I think so. My dad says he came up with my name cause he heard it in a song of the Beatles. I never heard the actual song. Iwonder if it even exists but still, if it's true it's pretty cool since Cillian likes the Beatles. ^^

[afan9]

Everyone likes the Beatles!

Could you ask your dad which song? I love them!

[spikie2]

I know alot of people who don't liek the Beatles though.

I like them to, probably cause I grew up with them. Well in the way that my dad palyed them the whole time.

I will ask my dad monday evening when he comes to pick me and my brother up. That of I still remember it xD

I'm having fun looking names up on behindthename.com, that site also have pretty detailed descriptions of names sometimes.

I love looking up the meaning of names too. I thought this was funny; My best friend's name means "powerful ruler" and his last name is King so it fits.

My name means "downey-haired and youthful" which suits me perfectly since people think I'm younger then I am and I get compliments on my hair.

I used to have this pen with several meanings of my name but I lost it. Somewhere in this house is also a small frame with in it the meaning of my name in the form of a poem. I wonder where it is, it used ot be on my room but it's in this ugly violet colour I have traumas of 'cause my mom always tried to put me in uggly dresses in the same colour when I was very young. I'm since about a year recovering from my trauma of dresses, I always got forced into them... xD

haha yeas dresses...when i was like 4-7 mai mom would force me to wear huge PUFFY like floral pattern dresses every where...and they seriously weighed more than i did ...though i was pretty small so yeah.....ne ways that juss reminded me cuz i hav a weird train of thought...hehe
and another thing bout names...they r fun
i used to be so proud of mai name cuz it was a less used name and irish to boot...but looking it up, its not even really an original irish name...jus an irish word that some american actress used some time ago....argh....
Luv cillian as a name seems strong and has a nice ring to it.....also luv the name ian...yeah thas all
