We've carefully selected a name for our little one - Mia Grace Cheng Ji Anchaya.
Mia is the Scandanavian form of Maria which is the Latinate name for Mary. And, although there are several theories on the name, the original derives from the Egyptian "beloved". And, she is.
Usual English form of Maria, which was the Latin form of the New Testament Greek names Μαριαμ (Mariam) or Μαρια (Maria) (the spellings are interchangeable), which were from the Hebrew name מִרְיָם (Miryam). The meaning is not known for certain, but there are several theories including "sea of bitterness", "rebelliousness", and "wished for child". However it was most likely originally an Egyptian name, perhaps derived in part from mry "beloved" or mr "love".
This is the name of several New Testament characters, most importantly Mary the virgin mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene.
Grace for the grace of God who brings her to us and for her birth parents who gave her life and have entrusted her to us. For the thanksgiving weekend of her birth.
Cheng Ji. Castle and Fiord. Place where one crosses a raging river. Bridge over troubled water.
Now we move on to figuring out if Cheng Ji is one word or two. Anyone know?
