Paul means little and a "stifel" is a type of German boot or shoe,
hence Littleshoes.

It is STIEFEL, with a silent "e". You mislaid your "e", but that does
not matter. I never knew that Paul means little. What a pretty name
you have. I wonder whether others can make such interesting names out
of their names.

Carol, "Singing Apron"

Does Carol mean Singing Apron, or is it Carol the singing part and
does Peterson mean Apron?

I just looked up mine. My maiden name, that is, Margaret Gottfried,
which means Pearl God's Peace. That is pretty, isn't it?

Carol is Song of Joy. My maiden name, Zastera, means Apron or Pinafore in
Bohemian. Maybe Singing Pinafore is classier.

It the closest i could come to finding a meaning for the family name,
though one similar spelling has 2 f's in the middle. Couple it with the
original meaning of "Joseph" (he shall give) and its just silly. "He
shall give little shoes".

Damn! I read, years ago, that Carol meant, "song of joy." According to
this site, it means, "manly." My daughter's name means, "manly," too.

Carol, feeling a bit macho this morning

.........lots of snips..........

This thread sort of reminded me of this joke I received today.

THE ITALIAN BRIDE
Maria had just got married and, being a traditional Italian, she was still
a virgin. On her wedding night, staying at her mother's house, she was
very nervous.
Her mother reassured her; "Don't worry, Maria, Tony's a good man. Go
upstairs and he'll take care of you. Meanwhile, I'll be making pasta."
So, up she went. When she got upstairs, Tony took off his shirt and
exposed his hairy chest.
Maria ran downstairs to her mother and says, "Mama, Mama, Tony's got a big
hairy chest."
"Don't worry, Maria," says the mother, "all good men have hairy chests. Go
upstairs. He'll take good care of you." So, up she went again.
When she got up in the bedroom, Tony took off his pants exposing his hairy
legs.
Again, Maria ran downstairs to her mother. "Mama, Mama, Tony took off his
pants and he's got hairy legs!"
"Don't worry! All good men have hairy legs. Tony's a good man. Go upstairs
and he'll take good care of you."
So, up she went again. When she got there, Tony took off his socks and on
his left foot he was missing three toes.
When Maria saw this, she ran downstairs. "Mama, Mama, Tony's got a foot
and a half!"
"Stay here and stir the pasta. This is a job for Mama!!!!"

IIRC there are a lot of names which mean "Gift from God".

My son's name means "God gives" "man", which is kinda interesting.

Best,

Marc (Warlike/French - Hammer/Latin) Andrew (Manly/Latin) Wolfe (Wolf

/middle English), also a 10D

Mark (i assume Marc is the same) means Mars the God not the planet
though at one time they were thought to be the same thing. Of course
Mars being the "God" of war and a wolf often used symbolically by
warriors the combination of Marc and Wolf seems symbolically
appropriate.

However much Mr. Wolfe's character may or may not be in alignment with
such sentiments.

The "greatly honoured grocer" "Mahatma Gandhi" could not have had a more
prosaic name while being one of the more dynamic and "militant"
personages of history. For all his pacifism (& prosaic name) he
inspired and led a militant struggle for freedom.
