Have you ever wondered what you name means? My maiden name means two different things; it is either the nickname for a white haired person in Germany or an ornamental word in Hebrew. Does it matter? Maybe not, but if you can't find where your ancestors came from or who they were before the records writers misspelled it when they disembarked from the ship, sometimes it helps to know what it meant.
For myself the explanation of my name caused some families to be called White and others to become Snow! Quite a difference, don't you think?
