Name Research Project ... Webquest
Directions: Work with a partner and take turns researching each other's names. Use the links below to explore the meaning of your name. You can read about the history of your name, similar names that it may have come from, the country or region of the world it comes from, and how popular your name is. Take notes on what you learn about your name on the note-taking page.
Learn about how popular your name has been over time using the interactive graphs at the Name Voyager. Type in your name, and point on the graph to see how popular it was throughout history. Double click on the graph to read a LOT of information about your name.
Think Baby Names (A lot of websites about names were created to help parents decide on names for their babies. There are also a lot of books about names.)
