ArchivesRe: Meaning of Jared
in reply to a message by Juliana
I have absolutely no clue what a "majestic meaning" would be, much less a "genuine meaning."
What a name "means" in terms of personality, style, ability, character, and physical looks would seem to be the stereotype average people have of it. The only source I know of for information like that which was collected in even a semi-scientific manner is that in Albert Mehrabian's book:
http://www.amazon.com/Name-Game-Signet-Albert-Mehrabian/dp/0451172620
and I have problems with that, as the stereotypes of many names are going to change from generation to generation and from place to place, not to mention that many individuals would have images of certain names that differ from the general stereotype because of particular persons with the name they have known.
