Comments for the name Baptist

Comments for BAPTIST:

The Italian form of this name is "Baptista," which is the first name of Baptista Minola from "The Taming of the Shrew."

More of a word than a name to me.

Ugh. This would look ridiculous as a first name and it unfortunately reminds me of the Southern Baptist Convention and other conservative churches.

The Armenian equivalent is Mkrtich. "Mkrt" is the root word. Mkrtel means "to baptise" (-el being the verb suffix). Variants are Mgrdich, Meguerdich, Migirdich, (Western Armenian variant). Written with the Armenian script: Մկրտիչ.

To add to my previous comment, it is commonly used as a first name, but it can be used as a last name by adding the -ian and -yan suffix (i.e.: Mkrtichian).
