Oh, What’s In a Name?

I have pondered this for years now, what is in a name?

One of my favourite songs states “our name is our virtue”. By definition, virtue is behaviour showing high moral standards. It’s also the 7th highest order of the ninefold celestial hierarchy. According to Christian theologist Thomas Aquinas, “The virtuous habits we form are not meant to be positive actions in and of themselves, but rather each virtue should be considered an “act of love” or a gift of self.”

My desire to discover who I truly was and what my purpose could possibly be lead me to look up the meaning of my name. After learning the meaning behind my name, I realized that our names are meant to connect us to our life purpose and our personal destiny.

Did you know that your name may contain clues pointing to your strengths, struggles and even possible experiences or opportunities? Uncovering and embracing the meaning of your name can greatly assist you in aligning with your life’s purpose and help you to navigate life’s journey more gracefully.

Surrendering to the spiritual significance of your name provides you with a unique opportunity to tap into a deeper sense of your purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in life.

Do you know what the spiritual meaning of your name is? If you haven’t researched it yet, do it! I promise you won’t be disappointed. Personally… it was complete shock and awe when I learned mine! I will share my virtue … my names meaning in a future blog post.
