Wow, and I've thought it's just a coincidence...
My Christian name, Dominika, derives from the Latin "of the Lord". No greater story behind it.

The boy's name Lance is of French origin. From Lanzo (Old German) "land". Nickname of Lancelot. Not related to the medieval jousting weapon. Lantz is a Yiddish name meaning "lancet." Cyclist Lance Armstrong; singer Lance Bass.
Lance has 3 variant forms: Lantz, Lanzo and Launce.

I hate my name, no one calls me by it if they know me. I wish I knew the meaning of my last name.

Thomasina! Why didn't your parents want a name with a female form? I think having an ambiguous name is worse. Like the name Robin. Or Pat.

North wrote:"Thomsen" means "Tom's son" - I hate that name, because I'm a female, so I'm not a son of anybody, and my fathers name was not Tom.. but the -sen names are very common in Denmark, and no one think of these names as I do.
Wikipedia wrote:William is derived from the Norman language, and of Germanic origin: "wil" = will, desire; "helm" = helmet, protection. The Old German name Wilhelm and the Old Norse name Vilhjálmr have the same roots. The Belgian name "Guildhelm" means "harnessed with a gilded helmet".
The oldest known famous bearer of the name was Saint William of Gellone; his cult spread the name throughout Europe.
