What does your "name" mean?

Hello! I'm new here! What's up?
My name is Mireia, and I don't really know its real meaning! There's an hypothesis about it comes from "milagro" ("miracle" in English) and another hypothesis says it comes from Greek... I have no idea!

Greetings from Spain, people!

Hi Mireia, a very fresh cucumis member!

Hey I found your name meaning:
Catalan and Spanish form of Provençal Mireio. Meaning: "to admire."
Very nice...
Welcome to our (water)melon...

Wow! Thank you!! Right now, everytime somebody asks for the meaning of my name I'll remember you!

Enjoy the (water)melon! :P

Hi Cucumis-people.
I´m a beginner here, and already a big fan of your site, I like!!
My real name is Pia, and today I first understood the meaning.
The name Pia is the feminine version of Pius, meaning pious, dutifull.
Well....I don´t know for sure if that´s me

Anyway, Yesterday I received a chain-letter, It has nothing to do with names...I KNOW
but it´s realy fun I guess.

This is funny, Pia, because last year I posted the same, but in French :
"Sleon une édtue de l'uvinertisé de Cmabrigde, l'odrre des ltters dnas un mot n'a pas d'ipmrotncae, la suele coshe ipmrotnate est que la pmeirère et la drenèire soeint à la bnnoe pclae.Le rsete peut êrte dnas un dsérorde ttoal et vuos puoevz tujoruos lrie snas porlbème. C'est prace que le creveau hmauin ne lit pas chuaqe ltetre elle-mmêe, mias le mot cmome un tuot."...

I think I first saw this about 3 or 4 years ago in English. There was no Cambridge Study, but it's still fun. It's interesting for me to see that I can also read the French one easily - cool!

Here is some more information about this. snopes.com is usually a good source to find out information about the authenticity and origin of things that get circulated on the internet.

And this page, which I found linked from the snopes.com page, is some really fun reading, and it has versions of this thing, including the one Francky posted above, in the following languages:

Spanish
French
Dutch
Danish
German
Czech
Icelandic
Portugese (Brazilian)
Swedish
Bahasa Indonesia
Russian
Albanian
Hungarian
Italian
Irish (Gaelic)
Polish

Thank you for god information!
Sounds interesting, I´l visit that site some day.

Thank´s again kafetzou! (sounds like coffe to)
for finding even the swedish version...
I´l definity go there tomorrow or right now after post this.

Best regards
Pia alias MATPIGAN

It is - read my explanation - it's the first message in this thread.

So...further on I can find information about things "going on" att the internet, Great!
I have saved this site now.
Thank´s again and have a nice evening!

It´s more like night here,00:20

I've seen that first time on National Geographic. I'll be really curious if it works also in my language...
