The Meaning of Ada
I met a lady who was maybe
Ada for as a wee baby
Everyone agreed when they saw her
That she was the happy kind
Full of smiles most of the time
So upon her "Ada" they conferred!

The Meaning of Elizabeth
There was a girl whose word was the
Kind that's true consistently
And when she made an oath she stuck to it,
Her yes was yes, her no was no;
Elizabeth her name and so
The meaning "oath of God" did seem to fit.

The Meaning of Ada
Ada was a girl who seemed
Smiley all the time and beamed
As if the very sun shone from her face,
When bad tidings came her way
They never seemed to wreck her day
Her happiness nobody could displace
Which was well for in her name
Happiness indeed was framed,
A perfect picture of the attitude,
When ever people saw her they
Felt themselves a lot less gray
For from her happiness was imbued!

The Meaning of Abigail
Were it a thing conventional
All my daughters I would call
This name that does contain a "Father's Joy".
For all of them could never fail
At being for me an Abigail
A name the Hebrew language did employ...

The Meaning of the Name Kathleen
There was girl they called Kathleen
Whose house was spick-and-span and clean
For no dirt or mess she could endure,
But inside she was just as sweet
Her heart was neat from beat to beat
Which fit her well because her name meant pure!

The Meaning of the Name Emma
Emma might seem small although
When defined it undergoes
A transformation to encompass all
For the name's meant to inspire
The same meaning as "entire"
Or perhaps the word "universal"...

The Meaning of the Name Haydn
It isn't often that I tell
A tale that is true but now
Let me share a story close to home
About a little girl whose name
Is for boys but just the same
We gave it to her for her very own...
I guess we liked the sound of it
It felt right and it seemed to fit
And named her so before she was born
And as she in her mother grew
We did what most young parents do
And prayed for her every night and morn:
"Dear God bless our little Gedge
Put around her a safe hedge
Of protection, this is what we pray"
Without any small inkling
Of the name's actual meaning
Whatsoever or in any way...
But when we finally took a look
In a little naming book
There it was the name of our small Gedge,
Incredibly our prayers had guessed
The meaning of her name addressed
A valley that was guarded by a Hedge!

The Meaning of the Name Sarah
Sarah in the Hebrew tongue
Is a name that you'd give one
Upon whom you would like to impress
A certain type of quality
Reserved for one of royalty
A girl whose name quite simply means "Princess"

The Meaning of the Name Kristen
Kristen was a lady that
Liked to take in homeless cats
And people too who found themselves in need,
When suffering this lady saw
None of it she could ignore
But helped them out with zeal and with speed!
No thought for herself she had
Helping others made her glad
Despite how their needs may have been priced,
Which was nice for in Latin
Her name exemplified "Christian"
That is a selfless follower of Christ!

The Meaning of the Name Eadith
You might think Eadith rather tame
To give a girl for a name
But when you think of it just think of gore,
For it, as well as Eaditha,
Was in Anglo-Saxon a
Designation meaning "prosperous war"!

What is the Meaning of the Name Dagmar?
Dagmar
Dagmar is the kind of name
You'd know if you were a Dane
And is the sort of name you would employ
To convey "Dane's joy" you see
And is a name apparently
You'd call a girl and not give to a boy!
