Name+Game

I met Dr. Theisen on Wednesday afternoon. We talked about some meaning and history about names. At first, I introduced my Chinese name to her. I told her that my given name is Xiang, which means flying in Chinese. And my sername Shen, was came from the 9th son of the empire in Zhou Dynasty which is about 3000 before. Then, Dr. Theisen told me that her first name Sherra was come from Shehrazaad in Arabia area, and her mother made this name up to her. Theisen, her last name, was come from Germany. Dr. Theisen also told me a interesting story about her family. Her grandfather's surname, Theisen, is the same to her grandmother's surname before they married. However, the origin of their surname is different. Her grandfather's Theisen was from Berlin, but her grandmather's Theisen was from the black forest area in Germany. This is the history of Dr. Theisen's name and she also told me that she was glad to know the history of her family and name because many American people do not know where their name came from.
