Where is your name from?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for March 04, 2009:
My name - Halina - is originally from Poland and quite common there. I didn't particularly like it when I was a child - it sounded old-fashioned to me. When I moved to Denmark, my common, old-fashioned name suddenly started sounding original and interesting. Changing the context of your name can appear quite powerful sometimes! :-)
When as a young woman I embarked on my spiritual quest, trying to find out who I was and what my significance was :-) I spend quite some time trying to find out the meaning of my name. Didn't find anything though. Disappointing... :-)
Just a few months ago, trying to find the perfect name for a character in my novel, i went to http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/ . I followed a hunch and checked out Halina and suddenly, without expecting, I've got my answer: It means: shining one; brightness
Given the fact that in the Busting Loose philosophy the symbol of who I really am - and who you really are - is the bright shining sun, that's a rather remarkable and fun creation. And, it doesn't really matter, does it? :-)
