Little Giant Encyclopedia of Names

Every name tells a story — where it came from, what it means, who made it famous. This encyclopedia packs thousands of names into one portable reference: first names from around the world, their origins, meanings, variations, and cultural significance. Whether you're naming a baby, writing a character, or just curious why your name means what it does, this is the guide that answers it all. Hebrew, Celtic, Greek, Sanskrit, Arabic — it's all here, organized and accessible. No fluff, no filler, just the facts about names and their histories. Compact enough to keep on the shelf, comprehensive enough to be useful for years. For parents-to-be, writers hunting for the perfect character name, or anyone who's ever wondered what their own name actually means.
