What’s in a Name

There are many meanings behind the names we are given.

My name broken down is:

Autumn = my mom’s favorite season

Lorraine = named after my grandmother (a line of ancestry from Lorraine, France.)

Baccelli = the pod of leguminous plants

I decided to adopt a Hebrew name. My Hebrew name is:

Bathshua ( בַּת־שׁ֖וּעַ ) = I chose this name for several reasons, but I will list only two of them for now. My 9th great-grandmother’s name. Her line connects me to my Magna Carta lines.
