Unisex Name
A unisex name (also known as an epicene name, a gender-neutral name or an androgynous name) is a given name that is not gender-specific. Unisex names are common in the English-speaking world, especially in the United States. By contrast, some countries have Naming laws, laws preventing unisex names, requiring parents to give their children sex-specific names. In other countries or cultures, social norms oppose such names and transgressions may result in discrimination, ridicule, and psychological abuse. Names may have different gender connotations from country to country or language to language. For example, the Italian male name ''Andrea'' (derived from Greek ''Andreas'') is understood as a female name in many languages, such as English, German, Hungarian, Czech, and Spanish. Parents may name their child in honor of a person of another sex, which – if done widely – can result in the name becoming unisex. For example, Christians, particularly Catholics, may give a child a se ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
Alan (given Name)
Alan is a masculine given name in the English and Breton languages. Its surname form is Aland. There is consensus that in modern English and French, the name is derived from the nomadic Iranian people known as the Alans, who settled in Western Europe during the Migration Period. Etymology and early history ''Alan'' is a masculine given name in the English language. The modern English ''Alan'', and French '' Alain'', are derived from the name of the Alans. Described by Roman authors as tall, blond, and warlike, the Alans were a nomadic Iranian people who lived on the Eurasian Steppe and the Caucasus Mountains. Related to the Scythians, the Alans were known to Classical authors in the 1st century BC. The Alans settled in Western Europe in the Early Middle Ages. Because there is no recorded use of the ethnonym ''Alani'' prior to the 1st century, and because no location with a placename derived from ''Alani'' can be shown to be older than the 5th century, it is likely th ...
