Her Name.
Her Name meant from the earth. The individual who she was named after was a very strong lady - an epitome of a perfect woman.
She was raised by a King who found her on his farm. She married a deified person, but her personality and identity were not subjugated by her husband's.
Her life was not smooth. She saw her fair share of tumult, but came out of it all. Her end was not death. Strangely enough, she chose to go back to her mother....she willed the earth to part open and take her in.
That was the princess-woman my daughter was named after.
If you have guessed the name already, please do not mention it in the comments. Some of you know it anyways.
A beautiful name for a beautiful soul
ReplyDeleteWOW! This post sent shivers down my spine, you won't believe this, but it is one of the names I have considered should I have a girl child. It is similar to my aunt's nickname (although my aunt is dutch and it has an "e" in it), and I wanted to kind of honour her because she has no children, but also because I just love the sound of this name. The other reason I love this name is because I love all things Indian as you know, so I wanted to honour that too. And it is just such a beautiful and unique and simple name. I really love it. I'm blown away that this was going to be your Lola's name, because I have never ever met anyone with this name! What are the chances that two women across the world, from different cultures were considering the same name! And btw, wiki says the name originates first from a goddess of fertility ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful. I want to say more but I can't find the words. Thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteI nominated you for a blog award - if you have the time and energy!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely beautiful meaning.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter knows how much you love her - if only from the thought you put into giving her a name.
ReplyDeletelove it. hope you and birdman are taking things in stride and doing ok...

She should have been here, teaching you and all of us the lessons babies teach all the time.
ReplyDeleteBut I think she taught the most important and greatest lesson of all: unconditional love.
She is greatly missed, your princess.
She has a beautiful name. I do love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this story.
The meaning is beautiful. I am still clueless as to what it is though. I guess you figured that out already though.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful to have a name with such deep meaning.
