In English - Gift of Peace
French - Divine Peace
German - District, Traveler, Peaceful Pledge

I can claim lineage from all of'em, so Jeffrey can be translated as 'Mutt,' I suppose. :wink:

I found more meanings for my name!!! Maia with a different spelling but it's the same name... I actually didn't write this. How did they know me so well??? *crying with emotion*

"The most beautiful, angelic, ambrosial, enticing, gorgeous, enamoring, pretty, amazing, lovely, lovable, and wonderful girl anyone could ever met. The girl any guy would dream about spending their life with.

Me: I am unconditionally and irrevocably in love with her.

Travis: Who?

Me: Maya =]]]"

All true, except you don't have a shell. Is there nothing perfect? *sigh* I had such high hopes for our resident Crimson Fantasy. You do realize I'm crushed, right? whoa

Marshall Name Meaning English and Scottish: status name or occupational name from Middle English, Old French maresc(h)al ‘marshal’. The term is of Germanic origin (compare Old High German marah ‘horse’, ‘mare’ + scalc ‘servant’). Originally it denoted a man who looked after horses, but by the heyday of medieval surname formation it denoted on the one hand one of the most important servants in a great household (in the royal household a high official of state, one with military responsibilities), and on the other a humble shoeing smith or farrier. It was also an occupational name for a medieval court officer responsible for the custody of prisoners. An even wider range of meanings is found in some other languages: compare for example Polish Marszalek (see Marszalek). The surname is also borne by Jews, presumably as an Americanized form of one or more like-sounding Jewish surnames.

"David" is "king/prince", or "beloved", depending on how far back in the Bible you want to go. (I prefer "beloved prince", but Machiavelli tells me otherwise.)
"Comma" is a punctuation mark signifying a separation of clauses, or a verbal pause.
"Geek" means "geek".

You're joking? I had a Husky called Maia, about 10 years ago! It had one eye that was brown and the other one was blue!

It's mostly a surname in Scotland, as that's where I stay and I know plenty of people whose last name is Marshall.

Well, my first name, Ljerka, comes from latin name for the only completely white lily. It is also called Madonna's lily and some saints like st. Anthony are most often shown with it. Also from the ancient greek: leiroioeis - tender. As I was browsing web to find out the meaning, I�ve found this and just stared:
Who is she?

Ljerka is a sweet-tempered and charming woman once you get to know her, however she can appear introverted, conventional and wary at first. She is highly emotional and extremely sensitive, to the extent where she is vulnerable to the slightest emotional trauma. She tends to protect herself through a certain reserve, although this doesn�t prevent her from being a generous and altruistic soul. Of considerable emotional plasticity, she can easily be hurt or even wounded by life, and Ljerka can be known to escape into daydreams and fantasies that are more or less unrealistic or utopic. She is fascinated by all that is weird and wonderful, and could even be tempted by artificial paradises (especially if she was born on the 9th, 18th or 27th day of the month). Because she cares so deeply about her family and takes the corresponding responsibilities seriously, Ljerka often forgets her own needs in the process. With such virtues, as a child she makes the perfect big sister who can fill in for her mother if necessary. However beware of the danger in taking advantage of her big heart: she is only too ready to sacrifice herself or to assume the role of the "victim"... Love and affection are necessary for her to bloom and her upbringing doesn�t need to be very firm. Indeed all forms of aggression or guilt-tripping are to be avoided because Ljerka is already of scrupulous nature, and it would be preferable that this doesn�t become stifling. And last, but not least, it would be desirable for her to practice an artistic or musical hobby, as well as any form of artistic expression (the theatre for example), which would provide an outlet for her potentially overwhelming emotions.

What does she like?
A humanist, Ljerka likes to devote herself to a cause, especially to movements concerned with solidarity and community - even mysticism. Receptive, intuitive and highly imaginative, she loves to dream and romanticize and is therefore interested in art and all forms of expression. In matters of the heart, her challenge will be to establish her limits, because her selflessness can result in situations where her happiness is not necessarily on the menu.

What does she do?

She excels in occupations of a humanitarian or social nature, unless it has a true vocation (art, religion, law, education or health, especially if she was born on the 6th, 9th, 15th, 18th, 24th or 27th day of the month). Anything unusual or unconventional would equally be suitable (healer, parapsychologist, dowser...), commercial occupations or those in connection with food (hotels, bakery, cuisine, dietetics...), occupations in connection with the public and travel.
