Re: I'm curious, Zesanatt...
I was hoping you were going to tell me you are male, because the closest-sounding Indian (Sanskrit) name I could find to "Zesanatt" is the male name of "Sesananta". It means: "Sesa, the lord of serpents"."Sesa" is the thousand-headed serpent regarded as the emblem of eternity in Indian folklore.I think you need to question your godmother again about this name she gave you. Even if she doesn't remember what it means, she should at least remember where she got it from. Was it the name of somebody she knew?Good luck to you, Zesanatt.-- Nanaea

she apparently found it in a boook and she and my mum chose it.Thanks Nanaea

Hungarian, perhaps?I found the Hungarian, female name "Zsanett" for you. It's close to your name, and appears to be a form of the name "Jeanette", as its meaning is "God has been gracious".http://www.qj.com/babynames/Girl-z.htmlI don't know if your name may have been the result of your godmother possibly mishearing the pronunciation of a similar-sounding name, or if your name comes from some African language with which your godmother may have been familiar. But if your godmother truly can't remember from whence she found that name, then who knows?-- Nanaea

claims to be italian and i have my doubts, but she then changed it to zesanatt, but i am starting to have my doubts now because last time she spoke to me
