My friend found an interesting site where they trace back where surnames come from and what they mean. So naturally, after trying my own (not listed) I looked for Monaghan...
This is the closest outcome:
| QUOTE |
Monahan Irish
From the Gaelic Ó Manacháin meaning "descendent of Manachán". The given name Manachán meant "little monk". |
(from
Behind The Name.com)
"Little Monk"... Interesting!
EDIT: changed the URL, should work now ~Wink~

There's also a behind the first name site.
Dominic: From the Late Latin name Dominicus meaning "of the Lord". This name was traditionally given to a child born on Sunday. Several saints have borne this name, including the 13th-century founder of the Dominican order of friars.
Friars, Monks. (Hmmmm) Holy Dom!!! #haha#
* types in own name*
Miranda: derived from Latin mirandus meaning "admirable, wonderful". The name was created by Shakespeare for the heroine in his play 'The Tempest'. This is also the name of one of the moons of Uranus.
(SNake> I like my own name a whole lot better now. I knew there was a reason why I adore moons so much.

Katherine- The Romans falsely derived it from Greek katharos "pure" and changed their spelling from Katerina to Katharina to reflect this. The name belonged to a 4th-century saint and martyr from Alexandria who was tortured on the famous Catherine wheel. This name was also borne by two empresses of Russia, including Catherine the Great, and by three of Henry VIII's wives.
when i looked in a christian book store at the bookmarks with my name and what it means, my first and last name mean the same thing. (Hmmmm)

Cool! I tried looking for my name too... but it's not very exciting... (Rolly)
Heather - Means simply "heather" from the English word for the variety of small shrubs with pink or white flowers which commonly grow in rocky areas. It is derived from Middle English hather.
