Reply:The name John comes from "Yohanan", a word in Biblical Hebrew which means "Yahweh(God) is merciful".





The name George has its origin in ancient Greek Geōrgios (Γεώργιος), a derivation of the noun geōrgos (γεωργός) "husbandman, farmer", a compound of gē (γῆ) "earth" and ergon (ἔργον) "work".





William is derived from the Norman language, and of Germanic origin: "wil" = will, desire; "helm" = helmet, protection.





Harry is a diminutive form of Henry, derived from Middle High German Haimirich, meaning 'ruler of the Home', and also of Harold.





The first or given name Richard comes from the Germanic elements 'ric' (meaning power, rule, leader) and 'hard' (meaning brave, hardy, strong). It can thus be interpreted to mean strong ruler, brave leader, firm rule or any of many similar variations.





Thomas originated from the Aramaic designation "תום" or Tôm. The meaning of the name is "twin".





Paul is a common given name for males, derived from the Roman surname Paulus (Latin: "small" or "humble").
