"What is in a name?"
Juliet (from Shakespeare) decided that a name is just a name, neither hand nor foot, nor any part belonging to a man. It has no part in a man.
But according to old Hebraic understanding, a name is everything. It defines you and destines you.
I did a little search for mine.
Anne means grace, favour.
Alternative in Hebrew is Hannah: A little prayer offered and granted. God showing favour...
I think it DOES define me. I've been shown a lot of grace in my life, a lot of favour. And somehow I think it always will be. God has promised to always look into my every need. And I will lack nothing. He's always gracious towards me.
