Here is a fun tool to quickly find the meanings of many names. Did you name your child Leanne? Supposedly that means "canoe maker". My first and middle names create "gracious gift of God". How very appropriate! ;D |

Wow, that surprised me. I put in my nick name, because I didn't think that my real name, being Indian would compute. And guess what my nick name has origin as Hindu.
Meaning: helper and defender of mankind (greek)
and Sunset (Hindu)
Nothing came up when I put my offical name in.

Me too as far as nothing for official name. I put in a different spelling and it came up all Greek:
Prophetess,liberator form of Alexander helper and defender of mankind.
Wow!

I beg to differ.
Using the method above -- name spindrift -- in the google search engine, gave me immediate results. Your name has a beautiful meaning.

Here is the meaning of my name. I'm quite pleased with it.
From an old Irish name Madb, "the cause of great joy" or "she who intoxicates." The great warrior queen of Connacht and embodiment of sovereignity she stars in Ireland's greatest epic "The Cattle Raid of Cooley" (read the legend). She left king Conchobhar Mac Nessa for Ailill because "you are a man without meaness, fear or jealousy, a match for my own greatness." But the couple quarrelled over who had the most possessions. Maebh's bull had defected to Ailill's herd and so she bought Daire's brown bull. When Daire went back on the deal she went to war with Cuchulainn (read the legend) and the province of Ulster to recover the bull.

Happy - I love your name. The masculine version was my father's name.

Oh, that's nice spindrift  It's not an easy name to live with in Switzerland though. Nobody knows how to pronounce it, except from those who speak french. |

I am God's promise  I have always loved Spindrift's name, it is my cousin's name too but I have never known anyone else called it. I think it is even more lovely now I know the meaning. |

I appear to be a gift from god or else god-given in some way. God's gift to women, perchance? One of my little nieces has Spindrift's name as a middle name. I had to ask how to pronounce it. I like it very much. |

Just change one letter of Spindrift's name and it becomes the extremely popular Melanesian name that means "welcome."

Cristina means "Christ-bearer." No surprise there. My other name means "Perfect One." It also means "Bitter" in another language.  I think I'll stick with Perfect One. |

Mine is astonishingly banal in light of the others in this thread. Accurate as well |

They got mine completely wrong.
My first name results:
Unisex (completely and definitely wrong), German (yes), 2 syllables (wow!), ruler of an estate (noooo...)
