MY NAME MEANS.....

My name is Shayann. It was originally supposed to be Cheyenne. My mom had a dream that this little girl cam up to her and said it was "Shayann." That is how I got my name.

My name is unique. So I thought I could take my name, split it into the two words it makes, find the definition of both, and put them together to make one. The first part is "Shay," the second "Ann". This is what I found.

"Shay" means Hawk. A hawk is a type of bird that has good eyesight and also looks out for hazardous events. I believe that this does relate to me because I try to look out for people in need.

"Ann" mean gracious or merciful. Gracious mean pleasing and merciful means kind-hearted. I beleive this relates to me too, because I am try to be kind-hearted to most people, that is pleasing.

Altogether, Shayann means I am a pleasing and kind-hearted person who looks out for others.

I beleive my name fits me because I am a kind-hearted person who tries to think about others before myself. The pleasing part is not up to me. It is up to the people around me. Hopefully most people find me pleasing. But if not I wont let it bother me. It is just the feeling of helping someone that keeps me going. Another thing is some advice I've learned. " Don't sit and wonder what people think about you or how you look. If you do, your not living, just existing."

So in conclusion, I think my name does suit me. I've always like the uniquiness of my name, but now I can like the meaning of my name, too.
