Naming Across Cultures

Duration: ~45 minutes Format: Reading + short reflection prompts

Module 1 — Origins and living languages

Names travel. A name that is common in one region may be rare or carry different associations elsewhere. Always ask:

• Is this spelling/pronunciation used by speakers of the language today?
• Does the meaning still feel positive and accurate?

Module 2 — Family, diaspora, and dual heritage

Many families blend traditions. Useful questions:

• Which ancestors or places do we want to honor?
• Which names work in both (or all) of our languages?

Reflection

Write down three names that feel like “home” and three that feel like “bridge.” Compare them on Name.li.
