Day 2: The meaning behind your name.

The meaning behind your name.

When I was younger I remember telling people oh "my name is just popular", now when the passing years bring wisdom I realize my name is just plain old "common"......LaToya

How often does two of your closest friends share your name? I guess my parents thought they were slick spelling mine - LaToya, unlike the regular spelling, Latoya.

Funny enough they told me my name was actually suppose to be Alexis after Alexis in Dynasty... but I'm gonna say this before the story, you know how they say kids say the darnest things...I think it more like parents say the darnest things. Their excuse for not naming me Alexis was because Alexis in the show was tooo wicked, yes roll those eyes when you think of Latoya Jackson.When I brought it up, they - the parents explained that my father had a Toyota pick up that he loved and LaToya was the closest name to it. Now I don't know bout you but give mi wicked Alexis over the old van any day, but as I said... Parents say the darnest things.

So on to the meaning and can I tell you its the first I'm ever seeing a meaning for my name...as weird as it sounds

1. The girl's name Latoya \l(a)-to-

is pronounced la-TOY-ah. It is of Spanish origin, and the meaning of Latoya is "victorious one". Derived from a short form of Victoria, or a blend of La- with Toya.

2. The name Latoya is a baby girl name. The name Latoya comes from the African-American origin. In English the meaning of the name Latoya is: A woman who is honored by others.

Not looking bad after all, and you know what I won't even tempt myself to look what Alexis mean, I'm just gonna let it go.

My last name LINDO is actually my most treasured of all my names but I promised to make it was interesting as possible so until next time
