Adrian means black; dark.
Aeneas is Irish.
Alastair means "one who rules".
Algot is a Scandinavian last name (no, it's not).
Ansel means "one who follows; someone with a nobleman."
Arlo is an Italian form of Charles and it also means bayberry tree in Spanish.
Bennett is a variant of Benjamin.
Ber means bear in HEBREW.
Bodil is a MALE name that means "dominant."
Borr means "youth" in Swedish (it actually means DRILL).
Carey means "near a castle."
Casimir means "he brings peace."
Cathal means "ready for war."
Cedric means "leader of war."

Coy means "forest."
Creighton means "rocky area."
Cyrus means "sun."
Damon means "gentle one."
Darcy means "dark one."
Davin is Scandinavian and means "shining."
Delbert means "sunny day."
Derry means "red-haired" but Diarmaid means "free."
Drew means "wise."
Dino means "small sword" in Italian.
Dustin means "dusty place."
Edzard is Scandinavian (we only have the letter Z in borrowed words).
Erhard means "determination."
Ercole means "gift."
Esket is a variant of Eskil (no, it doesn't mean anything, at least not in Swedish).
Faas is Scandinavian (no, it's not) and means "firm counsel."
Fergus means "best choice."
Filbert means either "smart" or "hazelnut."
Fiske is a Scandinavian first name meaning "fish". No, it means fishing. And it's not a first name.
Fraser is derived from from a town in France.
Galt is Norwegian and the name of a region. "The fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier has given this name some panache."
(This one is perhaps my favorite. Actually, galt means "wrong" in Norwegian and "boar, male pig" in Swedish. And what on earth does JPG has to do with the name Galt??)
Geronimo is derived from Apache.
Hakan means "fiery" in "Native American."
Helmut is French.

Jesse means "God exists."
Jett means "airplane."
Kahil is the Greek word for "beautiful" (I belive that's kaló.)
Kalmin is Scandinavian for "man" and a nn is Kalle. (I've never seen Kalmin. How did Karl become Kalmin?)
Kane means "beautiful" in Welsh and "golden" in Japanese and Keanu is a variant of Kane.
Karr is a Scandinavian name that means "swamp". Kárr (cowr) means "curly-haired" in Old Norse. Kärr (chair) means swamp, but it's definitely not a name!
Kivi is "African-American" and means "one who lives by a stone." Kivi is the Finnish word for stone.
Lathium is Scandinavian for "barn". Uhh? The Swedish word for barn is lada. Latium (Lazio) is a region in Italy.
Lundy means "born on a Monday" in...Scottish.
Marlon means "little hawk."
Marvin means "mariner."
Mojag is "Native American" for "noisy."
I'll continue tomorrow...
Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
