The Meaning Of Their Names


Kai - In American Kai means "Ocean," but its Scottish meaning is "Fire." Strangely the Welsh meaning for Kai is "keeper of the Keys." His full title of Kaiser originated in German and means "leader."
Kiri - The origin of the name Kiri is Cambodian and means "Mountain" and in Maori Kiri means "skin of a tree or fruit" I think we prefer the Hindu girls name where the meaning of Kiri is simply "Flower."

Asha - In Arabian, the name Asha means- "hope" or "wish." Other origins for the name Asha are Indian.
Louis - In French, the name Louis means- "Famous warrior,"  from the Old German Chlodovech. Eighteen kings of France have borne this name, and Louis was used by the French royal family for hundreds of years.
Finlay - In Irish, the name Finlay means- "blonde-haired soldier." Other origins for the name Finlay include, Scottish and Gaelic.
Mikey- the meaning of Mikey is "who resembles God?" or "Who Is Like The Lord?" In Russia Mikey also means "Godlike" or "Graceful."
Tali -  name is a variant of Talicia. In Sindhi Tali means "Rising Star!"  In Hebrew Tali is "Dew from heaven"
and it's Greek meaning is -"Blooming." (Not blooming nuisance!)

(For Future reference - In Hebrew, the name "Ziva" means- "Splendid")
