behindthename - Etymology and History of First Names in different cultures

(E1)(L1) http://www.behindthename.com/
The meaning and history of first names.
Mike Campbell has a nice site which lists first names (Christian names as they are sometimes known) in alphabetical order and gives the etymology of each.

About Etymology
Etymology is the study of the origins of words. The etymology of a word is its linguistic history. For example, the word etymology comes to us from the Ancient Greek language. It is composed of two parts: the Greek word etymon, which means "the true sense of a word", combined with the Greek element logia, which means "doctrine, study". Combining these two parts gives us "the study of the true sense of words", which can be said to be the 'meaning' of the word etymology.

Burnstein, Bernstein (W3)

Der amerikanisiserte Name "Burnstein" stammt vorwiegend von ausgewanderten deutschen Juden namens "Bernstein". Diese mußten um 1800 Nachnamen annehemen, die Ihnen entweder von den Beamten verpasst wurden oder die sie gegen Entgelt erkaufen mussten. Laut der Quelle, gehörte "Bernstein" zu den positiv bewerteten Namen und wurde dementsprechend vermutlich erkauft. Die positive Assoziation deutet entweder auf die Farbe oder auf seinen angenehmen Klang hin. Auch eine Verbindung zu früheren Siedlungen in Gegenden mit dieser Farbgebung wird als Assoziation aufgeführt.

(E2)(L2) http://www.ahnenforschung.net/cgi-bin/mdbase/mdb.cgi?db=nachnamen
Der Name "Bernstein" tritt auch schon vor 1800 auf. So werden hier die 1294 für "de Bernstein" und 1389 für "Bernstein" angegeben.

Bernstein's Factoring Breakthrough?
Last fall, mathematician Dan Bernstein circulated a paper discussing improvements in integer factorization, using specialized parallel hardware. The paper didn't get much attention until recently, when discussions sprang up on SlashDot and other Internet forums about the results. A naive read of the paper implies that factoring is now significantly easier using the machine described in the paper, and that keys as long as 2048 bits can now be broken.

This is not the case. The improvements described in Bernstein's paper are unlikely to produce the claimed speed improvements for practically useful numbers.

Carrera (W3)

(E?)(L?) http://mizian.com.ne.kr/englishwiz/library/names/etymology_of_last_names.htm
French Place Name from the Latin "carraria" = "cart" (= "Karren", "Wagen")
It was the name used to refer to the man who "lived on the vehicle road" or busy thoroughfare where many carts traveled.

Wie nun der Name vom Fahrweg (lat. "carraria") oder direkt vom Fuhrwerk (lat. "carrus" = "Karre") genau entstand läßt sich wohl nicht mehr im Einzelfall nachweisen. Jedenfalls gibt es heute viele "Fuhrmänner".
(span. "carrera" = "Lauf", "Wettlauf", "Rennen", "Laufbahn", ...), (umgangssprachlich. span. "hacer la carrera" = "auf den Strich gehen").

About this site
The Gens project is born by the initiative and the experience of a team of graduates in Humanities at the University of Genoa - Italy, who have specialized in history, demography, statistics, archive-keeping and librarianship.

Originally it was a research project about the distibution of surnames across Italy, but after the first realization and the first impact with the public, we decided to make it available to others.

The project is growing from a single-country web site (Italy) to a international network of sites. There is still lot of work to do, and if you are interested in this project, you can write us.

All the tecnical aspects of the project are carried out by Labo.

not_cub asks: "In the Slashdot FAQ CmdrTaco says he hates when clueless reporters ask where his nickname comes from but also gives an explanation. I for one find this sort of explanation quite interesting. I guess we can all guess where 'CyberBob' got his name from, but I'd love to hear Slashdotters give their reasons for choosing some of the weird and wacky nicks we see round here (especially that Anonymous Coward guy)."

Zu jedem Namen findet man die Aussprache, Herkunft, Bedeutung, Anmerkungen z.B. zu Heiligen, Varianten und - auch interessant - eine Popularitäts-Statistik.

This service is brought to you as part of our mission to organize information on names around the world and make it universally accessible and useful. Here you will find a list of thousands of baby names - from the most popular to the traditional to the highly unusual and unique, including hundreds that only recently have been coined or rediscovered. Find out popular variations and nicknames, trends, meanings and derivations, as well as the history and religious significance of each and every name - in short, everything you need to think of that ideal name!

Pronunciation: A simplified pronunciation key indicates how that name is most often pronounced. ...
Origins: Many of these names are English names, but they may have come from a variety of sources. Pre-medieval Anglo-Saxon names had Germanic, Scandinavian, and Celtic roots. Danish and old Norse names were absorbed into English forms after Scandinavian raiders settled in England a thousand years ago. William the Conqueror brought Frankish names to his new country, and they became "English," although Frankish names actually were a mixture of Scandinavian, German, and French origins.
Meanings: Many meanings of names have ben preserved down through the ages. Other names have been altered or combined in various ways, or duplicated by other language groups, and their meanings become alluded to. The value of deciding on a particular meaning lies in keeping alive connections to the past, however tenuous and fragmentary a meaning may be.
Notes: Information is provided on other things of interest. For example, most of Western civilization's names are related to biblical names and saints' names. Writers such as William Shakespeare created memorable characters which greatly influenced name use. The notes provide tidbits of information about these peoples of the past, the notable characters in literature, and real individual namebearers who added to the fame of their names.
Variants: Variants may be contemporary created forms of the main name, blends with other name endings, or another language form of the name. Variants of more common usage have their own listings and are in bold type.
Popularity: The popularity of first names and surnames are provided for each and every name based on data from the 1990 U.S. Census. Also included are trends for birth names in the United States, England and Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and Sweden, based on official data collected from their respective General Registers.

Zacharias (W3)

(E?)(L?) http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/z.htm
(Heb. zekharyahu and zekharyah; meaning "Yahweh remembers", Sept. Zacharia and Zacharias), son of Barachias, son of Addo, a Prophet who rose in Israel in the eighth month of the seventh year of the reign of King Darius, 520 B.C. (Zach., i, 1) just two months after Aggeus began to prophesy (Agg., i, 1). The urgings of the two Prophets brought about the building of the second temple (1 Esdr., v and vi). Addo was one of the chief priests who, in the first year of the reign of Cyrus 538 B.C., returned with Zorobabel from captivity (II Esd., xii, 4). Sixteen years thereafter, during the high priesthood of Joacim (verse 12), Zacharia, of the family of Addo (Heb. of verse 16), is listed as a chief priest. This Zacharia is most likely the Prophet and author of the canonical book of the same name. It is not at all probable that the Prophet Zacharias is referred to by Christ (Matt., xxiii, 35; Luke, xi, 51) as having been slain by the Jews in the Temple; that Zacharias was the son of Joiada (II Par., xxiv, 20). Moreover, the Jews of Zorobabel's time obeyed the Prophet Zacharias (Zach., vi, 7); nor is there, in the Books of Esdras, any trace of so heinous a crime perpetrated in the Temple court.
