	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hebrew Names
		So intimate was the relation conceived to be between the individual and his name, that the latter came frequently to be used as an equivalent of the former: "to be called" meant "to be", the name being taken to be equal to the object, nay, identical with it.
		Names of animals and plants were at the same period not infrequently given to persons both by the Hebrews and by their neighbours, the Chanaanites and others.
		In the former case, the Divine name is the subject of the verb (Elisama, "God heard"; Jonathan, "Yahweh gave"); in the latter the Divine name may be regarded again as the subject, and the noun as the predicate (Elisua, "God is salvation").

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Latin Literature in Early Christianity
		The Latin language was not at first the literary and official organ of the Christian Church in the West.
		Beginning with the second century, Latin translations of technical works written in Greek became numerous treatises on medicine, botany, mathematics, etc. These translations served a practical purpose, and were made by professionals; consequently they had no literary merit and aimed at an almost servile exactitude resulting in the retention of many peculiarities of the original.
		Ambrose is generally considered an authentic representative of the Latin mind, and this is true of the bent of his genius and of his exercise of authority as the head of a Church; but no one, perhaps, translated more frequently from the Greek writers, or did it with more spirit or more care.

		An important difference between the lists is that most of the names in the 1574 list are names of martyrs, saints and apostles (often in Latin), whereas the 1560 list has few Latin forms and a number of non-religious names, though it does include certain Biblical names not found in the other list.
		Besides Latin names, the majority of the remaining names have German origins, with a small number of Slavic and French names.
		Obviously women had given names of their own and likely used them among family and close friends, but they are not found in public records.

		All of which resulted in an individual sometimes having several very different names or name forms that they could use and/or that could be used for them by others, depending on whose name it was, who was using the name, and in what language and context the name was being used.
		Like elsewhere in Europe, the various Scottish naming cultures each had one set of given names that were considered appropriate for men, a different set of given names that were considered appropriate for women, and a smaller set of given names that could be used for either men or women.
		This may be the name of a place, such as the name of a farm, town, region, or country, or it may be a description of a place based on some topographical feature, such as a mill, bridge, or the like.

		His Latin names for plants often include an adjective that describes some physical attribute of the plant.
		The two parts of binomial nomenclature are the generic epithet, which names the genus and is always capitalized, and the specific epithet, which names the species and is usually lowercase.
		In these instances a capital "X" is placed before the name of the plant, which will have a new genus name formed by combining the genus names of the parents.

	Rachel's Pages \| Mandarin Chinese names for gamers
		However, names do generally maintain the same structure in the different Chinese languages, and therefore, while the pronunciations may be different, the ways of using the names and frequency of use will be basically the same.
		For example, all the PRC frigates of one class may bear the names of mountains; ROC ships tend to share a single character, usually the last, with the others of their class; the Star Line ferries in Hong Kong all have names with the word xingstar") in them.
		When choosing the name scheme for a class, you should probably consider what sort of function the class will serve and choose appropriately; a naming scheme based on mountains would be good for military vessels, while a naming scheme based on harmony might be good for commercial vessels.

	Latin names
		The purpose of the Latin or botanical name of plants is to provide some information about a particular plant that distinguishes it from other plants.
		Like many other languages, Latin assigns genders to all its nouns, and adjectives have to agree with the gender of the noun they describe.
		In plant names, therefore, those that are deemed masculine will end in -us, those that are feminine will end in -a, and those that are neuter will end in -um (plus some odd ones with other endings).
