What does your name or surname mean in English?

This is neat.

To the best of our knowledge, "Safford" is Norman. It very likely stems from "Salford", which we figure means "salt ford" or "salt bridge".

The other day, someone in here mentioned what "Thomas" means. If memory serves, it's "great fellow" or something like that.

hehe

It actually has something to do with "twin" or "twins".

well crud.

This is from a surname-meaning web site:

----------
Safford Surname Origin
(Locality). A corruption of Seaford, a town of Sussex, England.
----------

So I suppose it's either from Salford or Seaford.

So... "salt bridge" or "sea bridge"

lol

either way, it's salty.

Here's a link to the site:

Hi NinaZara,
Interesting enough, but "Nur" in written form is used in Turkish with the same meaning "light". How comes two different languages far apart from each other have the same word with the same meaning?
Easily, anyone can see from that nice coincidence that we- human beings- have a lot in common.
Thank you very much for writing a reply to the topic.
Love,
Aydın
