Answer 2

emiley, and bryn are 1960's era hip derivitives of the traditional names brian, and emily. I'm not sure what language those are, but I would guess = greek = and you can look them up and see what they mean in a greek name book. A lot of old school American names are either biblical, or greek.
I think Nehemiah is probably derived from the biblical name Nehamiah.
Paris is a city in France. It probably means somthing in french. I think it means city, but it's just a guess. I dont speak much french.
I dont have any guesses on the aerabella name Cycone; but I know what your name means.

Answer 3

I'm not sure what other sources people are using, but be careful. Most "baby name" books and web sites are quite unreliable, mixing good, solid information with much that is sloppily done, and sometimes being imprecise to make the name SOUND good to people looking for a name (or checking to see what it means)... wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings!

But there are some very good books and web sites for this stuff --ones that research very carefully. One is "behindthenames.com", which I have used for much of what follows (and so I'll link each one). If you are REALLY into it, I know a couple of fine books and even a $15 piece of software (called "Gwendolyn" in its English version) that I really like.

Note that I've listed the more common spellings for each

ARABELLA
Perhaps derived from Latin orabilis meaning "yielding to pray".

EMILY/EMILIE
From the masculine name "Emil" which comes from the Roman family name Aemilius, which was derived from Latin aemulus meaning "rival".

BRYN
Generally said to be from Welsh (or Celtic more generally) for "hill, mound" in Welsh... probably related to, even derived from the masculine name "Brian" whose meaning, though not certain, may be from the Old Celtic element bre meaning "hill", or by extension "high, noble".

NEMEMIAH
"comforted by YAHWEH" in Hebrew
http://www.behindthename.com/name/nehemiah

(The "iah" part would be "YAH" in Hebrew, a shortened form of the name "Yahweh" -- this was the proper or personal name for the God of the ancient people of Israel. It was considered so sacred that the custom grew of not pronouncing it, but substituting the Hebrew wored "Adonai", meaning "Lord". Many Bible translations, beginning with those into ancient Greek, have subsituted their own word with the meaning "lord, master". You'll see it in many English Bibles in small caps [or simply all caps --LORD-- if you can't manage the others].)

PARIS

For the "Paris" of Greek mythology -- unfortunately we do not know the meaning of his name. ("Lover" is simply made up by a "baby names" writer, based, I expect, on his ROLE in the stories of the Trojan War)
http://www.behindthename.com/name/paris-1

If you are going from the name of the capital city of France, it is derived from the name of an ancient Celtic tribe, the "Parisii" (though I have not yet found what THAT meant). One suggestion is that is from a Celtic Gallic word for "cauldron".

When used as a GIRL's name, the idea is likely to suggest that she somehow fits the character of the city (often portayed as a romantic place)

Answer 4

I can't tell you, but I do know this...try a search engine (such as google.com or askjeeves.com), and type in "meaning of names." You'll be guranteed to find a site that tells you the meanings of those names.
