Help[Opinions] Re: Anchoret (needs a mn)
in reply to a message by Luxiana
Where did you hear of this name? I'm wondering why there are two feminine, Welsh names that mean beloved that are totally different besides the fact that they start with A. I like Angharad, but I also think Anchoret could grow on me. It obviously reminds me of an anchor, but it also reminds me of a locket like you mentioned in a reply. How is pronounced? Just anchor-ET?
When you search Anchoret on Google, it comes up with this: http://www.tiscali.co.uk/reference/dictionaries/difficultwords/data/d0000892.html. It's a synonym of anchorite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchorite). I honestly don't think it's a Welsh name at all.

Lawruh, I think I first heard of this name on this website: http://www.babynamesworld.com/meaning_of_Anchoret.html
About 1/2 the name websites that I've seen have it. The name also intrigued me. I can't really find any other information on it. if you do a google search and Anchoret and meaning, they all say the same two things
1. it's Welsh and
2. it means beloved.
I believe it's pronounced like you guessed: anchor-ET.
I know that it's similar to anchorite and then there's the anchor reference, but for some reason I can forgive all that because this name seems really special to me.
