Tag: The Meaning of Harvynna & Rowena's Name

Got tagged from Malaika's mummy. Good one so next time the girls will know how they got their names.

Harvynna - actually the name itself does not mean anything!! But since my hubby and I were dating many moons ago, we decided that if we ever have a child (daughter), we would call her Harvynna.

We combined both our names and hence,

Harvey + Rina = Harvynna

Of course, we changed the spelling by adding 2 'n's to glamourise it a bit. I think Harvynna is a very unusual name since it originated this way. I am sure people will mispronounce her name when she goes to school!

It was kind of weird to hear our family members and friends calling Harvynna by her name when she was born as it was always a fictatious name we referred to during those dating days.

For Rowena, we hadnt really thought of any names as we were not sure if it was going to be a boy or a girl. I was looking through several websites and found some rather exotic girls names (looking at Hindu, Indian and Sanskrit) names but found most of the boys names rather boring or someone we know has that name.

My MIL also came out with a list. There were some shortlisted ones like Isha, Raveena, Priyanka and some boys names too.

In the end, after Rowena was born and while I was having post C-section pains, hubby and I were thinking of a name. Since Harvynna had a 'H' name, we decided that Rowena will have a 'R' name. Then only fair what!!

We were trying to recall the names my MIL suggested, and hubby suggested Rowena (it was not in the list - he mistook Raveena for it) and I immediately said, 'OK'! (Sounds more universal!)

My SIL, Vindi sent us an email with the meaning of Rowena's name, and here it goes

The girl's name Rowena \ro-wena, rowe-na\ is pronounced roh-EEN-ah, roh-ENN-ah.
It is of Old German origin, and its meaning is "fame and happiness".
Also possibly (Welsh) "slender and fair".
Rowena was the name of one of the two heroines in Sir Walter Scott's novel "Ivanhoe" (19th century).
