I have many favorite sites where I go for info on names and their origins. Have fun taking a look at these lovely name sites!
- Behind the Name - My favorite name site with the most extensive name database online. Search any name for info the history, origin, usages and meanings of almost any name you can think of! And if you can't find it in their database you can always post on their Name Facts Board asking other (including experts) about info on any name.
