Re: Couple of names
in reply to a message by Bex
From what i can see Alair means "happy, cheerful" but I can find no etymological evidence to back this up so it might be rubbish. The meaning of the name Shasta is disputed. It itself is believed to have been derived from the name of Mount Shasta in the United States. But the origin of the name itself cannot be agreed upon.
This page goes into the name in some detail. http://www.siskiyous.edu/shasta/fol/nam/folk16.htm
