What's Behind My Name?

While I was growing up, I envied my classmates who had long or two names. I asked myself, why do I have only one name and it is just a 5-letter name. My mother wanted to name me, AMAPOLA ANNE but my grandfather (father side) disagreed about the name my mother wanted to have for her first child. My grandfather said, I would be punished in writing a very long name. So my mother changed her mind and named me - HAZEL in which my grandfather agreed.

That's the story behind my name. I got an offline message from my friend who's living in Iowa, Janice - A Nomadic Vissions and told me about the test. She told me to try and she assured me that I will like it. So here I am giving it a try...

HAZEL

Gender: Feminine

Usage: English

Pronounced: HAY-zəl [key]

  • From the English word hazel for the tree or the light brown colour, derived ultimately from Old English hæsel. It was coined as a given name in the 19th century.
What about you guys? What is the story behind your wonderful name? You can check your own name too just like what I did by visiting Behind The Name.
