I'm looking for a site that will tell me the meaning of names. I want a advanced meaning not just the dictionary version.|||Do you mean like "Theodore- tall, handsome, warm, witty, wise, well read and terribly fond of puns, although his nose is too big"?
You have to make those up. There isn't a site. The sites we use just give the dictionary meaning.
This is Ancestry.com on Theodore, for instance:
Theodore
English: from the French form of the Greek name Theodoros, composed of the elements theos god + doron gift. The name was popular among early Christians and was borne by several saints.
Cognates: French: Th茅odore. German: Theodor. Dutch: Theodoor. Hungarian: Tivadar. Russian: Fyodor. Jewish (Aramaic): Todos.
Short forms: English: Theo, Ted.
A Dictionary of First Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0192800507|||I am not quite sure what you mean by advanced, since most surnames are not found in a dictionary. This might help.
