[Facts] A bunch of odd name questions...
I know that Sjöfn is an Old Norse name meaning "love". Is it still used in Iceland?Is Saffi a real variant of Sofie or is it just "made up" (saw it on one of those bad "baby name" sites)?Is the name Carina used in Estonia?Is the name Karen used in Latvia?What does the name Fosetta mean? Is it Italian? Where is it used?Is Eunice used in German-speaking countries?What does Jozica mean and is it Croatian?Is Nadira only used among Muslims?Is the name Iliana used in Greece?Where does the name Astrik (sic!) come from? Is it male or female?Is Lilith used among Muslims?Could Moselle be used as a first name or is it only the name of a river?Are names like Keshawna and Keisha used somewhere in Africa or only among African-Americans?Where does the name Caimile come from? Is it just a variant of Camille?Do Australian Aboriginal families still give their children names from their own languages?What does the name Samyukta mean? I've read that it's (East) Indian, but I've also read that it could be an Inka name. Is this really true or just a misunderstanding of the word "Indian"?Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if only one remembers to turn on the lights
