Name Meme

Carrie (and Nell!) tagged me for this one and rather then thinking I’ll remember to do it later and then a month goes by – I’m jumping right on it and doing it now!

This is the What’s In A Name? Meme started by Two Moms In A Blog.

My name is: Tsoniki – my Mom named me after a Great (times a few) Grandma, I recently found a cousin with the same name, about 10 years younger then me. We’ve talked a bit and though we don’t know each other that well, it turns out that her Aunt and my Mom were very good friends years ago, attended college together and it was the Aunt who told my Mom about the name. I got a nickname from the moment I was brought home (a tradition in my family) and when I got online and involved in groups, forums, etc., I decided I wanted to be called Tsoniki. Few people in real life use my real name so it’s a nice change.

It means: Stands Strong Before the Enemy or Walks Up To The Enemy

Origin: It is either Cheyenne or Potawatomi, passed down a handful of generations
