Does the definition of a name have much to do with...

[tko05]

My parents named me Nikao (pronounced NEE KAY O if you were wondering LOL!) which means "victorious overcomer", because they did want me to make the mistakes that they had made in life. knowing this has influenced some of the decisions I've made.

In the Bible names often ended with the suffix "el", as in Michael, Daniel, Samuel, Rachel... the "el" part referring to God(Example "ELohim" El Shaddai)... And they often began with "Jo" (shortened form of Jeho, or Jehovah) as in Jonathan, Joshua, John, Joab... Chances are, if you're name has the "el" suffix, then it is probably either Biblical or inspired by the Bible.

For the longest time, i've wondered what the suffix "isha" meant or where the prefixes "La" as in LaShay or LaNita and "De" as in DeAndre came from... does it have meaning or is it just cute?

Well zak is short for zachary which is an english version of zacharius which means "the Lord remembered." Bam!!

Markevius=think it stands for wonderful Holy Ghost filled, sancitified, fire baptized man of God which standeth on the rock of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

I'm gonna name my son a biblical name. How about Mahershalalhashbaz...
