So u r a futuristic kid!

Shardul = lion. (I dont think i look like a lion though). Commonly u wil find statues of lion in indian temples which are called simha shardul which is a statue of a lion.
at some temples u can see statue of nar shardul i.e. god narsimha ( half man and haf lion - on of incarnation of lord vishnu to save prahlad) Narsimha is our Kul daivat i.e. the god our family worships (it is not that we dont worship other gods)

 

[DrGarfield]

ya- i understant the Kul Devta system! we have too- Devi Chamunda!

I knew Shardul- there are many lion stories in Gujarat- lions being found in Saurashtra jungles only- they sometimes refer to lion as Shardul!

The other names are Savaz! Nahar!

My name doesn't have any absolute meaning, but it is close enough to 'blue' or 'bluish clouds'. Can anyone guess? . I will tell the history later.

BTW my screen name has nothing to do with my name.

Harleen!! sounds good- what language is it??

 

[hopeful05]

Hindi har= god

[DrGarfield]

ha ha- that´s so strange- it was in Hindi- so simple but i got no end of it!!! Unique name!!

 

[sunny123]

Harleen is unique to Punjabis is it not? I've only met Punjabi Harleens, so I thought it was more of a Punjabi name.

You should read the story of Gautama Buddha, I'm sure you already have. Its so incredibly inspiring. I usually envision the story when I come across the very name and associate it to the person's personality. But not always does it hold true.

Ya- the names ususally don´t coincide with the personalities!! They should start a custom of Re naming people at the age of 25!!!

Har probably has lots of meanings. I thought "har" is the flowered necklace that is put on a picture or used in marriages. Or is that called something else?

[rxgal8]

My name doesn't have a meaning. It's made up, so I get to give it a meaning.

Jeenal

[rxgal8]

[DrGarfield]

Jeenal

Jeenal is actually a derivative of original name Jinal- for it has a better cheeky pronounciation!

Jinal means God Vishnu!!

There you go!!

[rxgal8]

I know Jeenal probably comes from Jinal. But if Jinal does mean Lord Vishnu then I guess I'll have to award you with the Einstein award.

"Har", I thought, generally meant necklaces. Well, in Bengali, that is the regular word for necklaces.

 

[hopeful05]

HAAR= flowered necklace
HAAR= defeat

The HAR in my name...is pronounced hur...hur-leen

And don't they say--hur hur mahadev??
what does that mean then??

 

[gwen]

mine means "a bright star" - yucky, that sounds so cheesy.
