no I mean like the actually words (or anglicized equivilant) that comprise it. Like for Abigail it's Hebrew 'abi'=father and 'gayil'=joy.

I appreciate the info though.

Sorry, I see what you mean.

Balthazar is apparently the Latin form of the Middle Eastern (Syriac) name Belshazzar which itself is derived from the Akkadian Bel-sarra-uzur

Bel or Ba'al was an ancient Babylonian deity associated with the moon.
Sarra means "king"
Uzur means "protect".

All in all meaning "Ba'al, protect the king".
