Because Names last a lifetime!

This Name Meaning Component, has over 4100 girls and boys names and meanings in the database, from 47 different origins (American, Arabic, French, Dutch, Greek, Hebrew, Irish, Italian, ...).

It has a backend interface that makes it very easy to add new names and to edit existing ones.

I plan on adding a few features such as:

• Rating;
• Report incorrect name info;
• Multi-categories (for example, a name can be place in Hebrew and biblical name at the same time)
• Add to favorites;
• Compability with Joomla 1.5;
• Additional Info;

If you have any suggestion, please do not hesitate to email it to me.

This component has a SEF plugin for Artio JoomSEF.

If you wish to download this module, please PayPal me at least U$25 and I will email this component to you!

"The name at birth is the name a child is given by his or her parents, according to an apparently universal custom, and legal requirement to file a form of birth certificate. What happens subsequently about this name has a substantial cultural component.

Where births are officially registered, a name entered into a birth certificate may by that fact alone become a legal name. The assumption in the Western world is often that the name from birth (given name plus family name at least), or perhaps from baptism, persists to adulthood in the normal course of affairs, with some possible changes (such as concerning middle names, uses of diminutive forms, adoption, choice of surname if parents divorce or were not married). Matters are very different in some cultures where a name at birth is only a childhood name, rather than the default choice for later life.

Birth name is a term now sometimes used for maiden name (name before marriage of a woman, in cultures where a married woman's name customarily changes), by those who find maiden name to be an old-fashioned usage with the wrong connotations. " Wikipedia

Curiosity: The use of personal names is not unique to humans. Dolphins also use symbolic names, as has been shown by recent research.Individual dolphins have individual whistles, to which they will respond even when there is no other information to clarify which dolphin is being referred to.
