neg: David Arianites David Arianites David Areianites or Arianites () was a high-ranking Byzantine commander of the early 11th century. The origin of the surname is uncertain and different theories have been proposed ranging from various anthroponomastic and toponymic derivations of the Indo-European word "arya" to the name of a minor Illyrian tribe, the Arinistae/Armistae. The name "Ar[e]ianites" is hence variously considered to have been of Albanian origin. David is sometimes considered to be the first member of the Arianiti clan, which was active in late medieval Albania, but the connection can not be verified due to lack of sources.

Because the scattered disc is dynamically active and the Kuiper belt relatively dynamically stable, the scattered disc is now seen as the most likely point of origin for periodic comets. Astronomers sometimes use the alternative name Edgeworth–Kuiper belt to credit Edgeworth, and KBOs are occasionally referred to as EKOs. Brian G. Marsden claims that neither deserves true credit: "Neither Edgeworth nor Kuiper wrote about anything remotely like what we are now seeing, but Fred Whipple did". David Jewitt comments: "If anything... Fernández most nearly deserves the credit for predicting the Kuiper Belt." KBOs are sometimes called "kuiperoids", a

The name is most commonly derived from the [classical Arabic] "‘Isa", an Arabic translation of Jesus, itself having a Hebrew origin. However, it is not the only translation; it is most commonly associated with Jesus as depicted in Islam, and thus, commonly used by Muslims. Meanwhile, Arabic-speaking Christians would use "Yasū‘", a more phonetic translation of Jesus. The origin of the Quranic "Isa" is complex and is detailed below. Isa was also used

Some claim that the site has a pre-Columbian European origin, but this is regarded as pseudoarchaeological or the result of an early-20th century hoax. Archaeologist David Starbuck has said that "it is widely believed that Goodwin may have 'created' much of what is visible at the site today". The site was first dubbed Mystery Hill by William Goodwin, an insurance executive who purchased the area in 1937. This was the official name of the site until 1982, when it was renamed "America's Stonehenge", a term coined in a news

A dairy Jack owned along the Salinas River produced a cheese originally known as Queso Blanco, first made by the Franciscan friars at the nearby Mission San Carlos Borromeo de Carmelo. As Jack's dairy went into partnership with other regional dairies, the cheese was mass marketed, which came to be known at first as "Jack's Cheese", and eventually "Monterey Jack". There are competing claims to the origin of the name "Monterey Jack" cheese, including one by Domingo Pedrazzi of Carmel Valley, who argued that

The name is an Anglicised form of the Scottish Gaelic "Lachlann", which is in turn derived from the earlier Gaelic personal name "Lochlann". In the ninth century, the terms "Laithlinn" / "Laithlind" (etc.), appear in historical sources as terms denoting the origin of Vikings active in Ireland. The exact meaning behind these terms is uncertain. What is clear, however, is that the terms "Lochlann" / "Lochlainn" (etc.) came to replace these earlier terms; and that, by the

neg: Canadian River Caddo word "káyántinu", which was the Caddos' name for the nearby Red River. The name could be of Spanish origin from the word "cañada" (meaning "glen"), as the Canadian River formed a steep canyon in northern New Mexico and a somewhat broad canyon in Texas. A few historical records document this explanation. Edward Hale, writing in 1929, considered the French origin of the name most probable. The first European to explore the Canadian River was Juan de Oñate, the Spanish Governor of New Mexico, who followed the river from its origin to the western plains of what is now Oklahoma

neg: Kerry (name) Kerry (name) Kerry or Kerri is both a masculine and feminine English language given name of Gaelic (Irish) origin. In its original form Ciarraighe ("Ciarraí"), it denoted "the people of Ciar" ("ciar-raighe"), Ciar being the son of Fergus mac Róich, who gave his name to County Kerry. Ciarraighe was thus the name of the pre-Gaelic tribe who lived in the area of what is now County Kerry. However branches of the Ciarraighe were all over Ireland: Kerry is also a common surname and as such is of Welsh origin, though sometimes spelled Ceri.

Among the first things that children born in the camps learn is the name of their village of origin. David McDowall writes that, "[...] a yearning for Palestine permeates the whole refugee community and is most ardently espoused by the younger refugees, for whom home exists only in the imagination." Israeli policy to prevent the refugees returning to their homes was initially formulated by David Ben Gurion and Joseph Weitz, director of the Jewish National Fund was formally adopted

The current chief is Walter John Buchanan Riddell (b. 1974), son of the late Sir John Charles Buchanan Riddell who died in 2010. Clan Riddell Clan Riddell is a Lowland Scottish clan. One theory for the origin of the name Riddell is that the family were from Gascony and came to Scotland via Ryedale in Yorkshire. However, it is much more likely that the name is of Norman origin. In 1116, Gervase Ridale was a witness to a charter of David I of Scotland.

neg: Noviodunum (Switzerland) Noviodunum (Switzerland) Noviodunum or Colonia Iulia Equestris was a Roman era settlement in what is now Nyon in the Canton of Vaud in Switzerland. Noviodunum is a name of Celtic origin, meaning "new fort": It comes from "nowyo", Celtic for "new", and "dun", the Celtic for "hillfort" or "fortified settlement", cognate of English "town". It was the urban center of the larger Colonia. Although the name the city, Noviodunum, is certainly Celtic in origin, it is first mentioned in written sources in about 400AD. The name Colonia Iulia Equestris is more descriptive. A Colonia was originally a Roman outpost established

neg: Baal-perazim an existing local name. If the reference is to Mt. Perazim in Isaiah 28 then that suggests a mountain with a high ground position for David to attack. Alternatively, since David says "Yahweh burst-through" (פָּרַץ יְהוָה) "like bursting of waters" (פֶרֶץ מָיִם) it may be a reference to waters. In the Amplified Bible he is called "Baal-perazim" the Master of the breakthrough. This place name is the origin of term "God of the Breakthrough" in the Gospel music song of that name by Robert Critchley, sung by Lara George. Baal-perazim Ba'al-Perazim (Hebrew "Owner of Breakings Through") was a place in

neg: Origin of the name Khuzestan Origin of the name Khuzestan Although Herodotus and Xenophon referred to the entire region as Susiana, the name Khuzestan is what has been referred to the southwestern most province of Persia (Iran) from antiquity. In some instances, sugar and sugar cane have been given as the meaning of Khuz. The fertile soil of Khuzestan has a splendid potential for growing this plant, making excellent harvests for sugar cane possible here. However, most experts believe the name Khuzestan to be derived from "Ķūzī", the name of the original non-Semitic people of the province, whose distinctive language reportedly survived until Sassanid times.

neg: Linguistic purism in English Germanic origin, and was meant to show what English scientific works might look like without foreign borrowings. In 1992, Douglas Hofstadter jokingly referred to the style as "Ander-Saxon". This term has since been used to describe any scientific writings that use only Germanic words. Anderson used techniques including: The first chapter of Alan Moore's 1996 novel "Voice of the Fire" uses mostly Germanic words. Another approach, without a specific name-tag, can be seen in the September 2009 publication "How We'd Talk if the English had Won in 1066", by David Cowley (the title referencing the Battle of Hastings).

neg: Armadale, Western Australia Railway was constructed from Perth to what is now Armadale, and in 1897 a station was built at this location to service the sparsely scattered population of this district. It has been claimed that the station was named 'Armadale' because a name other than Neerigin had to be found to avoid confusion with the wheatbelt town of Narrogin, and that from this the town which sprung up near the station took its name. Other theories have also been put forward for the origin of the name. What is certain is that the name was not in use before the arrival

neg: Senlac Hill Abbey simply recorded the location in Latin as "Bellum" (Battle). Later documents however indicate that the abbey had a tract of land known as "Santlache" (Sandlake) with the name Sandlake continuing for several centuries as a tithing in Battle. The Anglo-Saxon origin of the name Hastings was probably "Hæsta-inga" (and variations) meaning "clearing of Hæsta's people". However another possible, again of Anglo-Saxon origin, is "Asten-enge" meaning "meadow of the Asten" (the Asten is the stream that runs through the battlefield). Freeman considered what Orderic Vitalis called the battlefield, namely "Senlac", may have been a corruption of the original Anglo-Saxon name.

Weyland asks him what his name is and upon observing "David" by Michelangelo, states that his name is David. As David plays the piano, Weyland states that they will together seek out humanity's creator. David remarks that Weyland will die, while he himself is incapable of death. An agitated Weyland responds by ordering David to prepare him a cup of tea. Following David and Shaw's exodus for the Engineer home world, they arrive at a temple surrounded by scores of Engineers.

neg: Clan Cochrane Clan Cochrane Clan Cochrane is a Lowland Scottish clan. Traditionally the original ancestor of the Clan Cochrane in Scotland was a Scandinavian Viking who settled in what is now known as Renfrewshire, between the eighth and tenth centuries. It is evident that the name is of territorial origin, derived from the lands of Cochrane near Paisley. The origin of the name itself is believed to be derived from two Gaelic words which jointly mean "The Roar of the Battle" or "Battle Cry". The Cochranes took the boar as their heraldic beast, in keeping with the character of their traditional ancestor.

neg: Klöden history is the subject of very divergent points of view. This even goes for the origin of the community's name, as well as for just when Klöden had its first documentary mention. The most up-to-date research says that the name is of Slavic origin. In 1935, the name's spelling was changed from "Clöden" to "Klöden". The earliest document that is available was drawn up on 12 April 965, but it constitutes a clever forgery ("ie" it is authentically mediaeval, but its original purpose was fraudulent). It contains, among the 17 placenames that it mentions, one called "Clotna". What follows is

neg: David McNeill on the origin of language: Can the theory in question explain the observed speech-gesture-thought unity of human cognition? The widely popular "gesture-first" theory, according to which language began as pure gesture without speech, fails this test. In fact, it fails it twice, predicting what did not evolve (that speech supplanted gesture) and not predicting what did evolve (our own speech-gesture unity). An alternative, which McNeill calls "Mead's Loop" after the philosopher George Herbert Mead, explains this unity. It too claims that gesture was essential to the origin of language, but not because it was "primitive" or more accessible. Rather, it

Following the Second World War prefabs were sited temporarily on what is now King Edward Avenue and the Grange School and Aylesbury High School were both opened, though the latter is strictly within the boundary of Walton hamlet. The latter part of Turnfurlong Lane was developed in stages between the 1960s and 1990s. Worthy of note are the development around Webster Road, built on the site of the old Aylesbury United football ground, the Foxhills development and the large Bedgrove development. The origin of the name Turnfurlong is uncertain. A theory as to the origin of the name

neg: Shan (surname) Shan (surname) Shan () is a Chinese surname. The origin of this surname is not clear. One explanation is that it came from Shan County in Shandong province. Another possible origin involves King Cheng of Zhou's youngest son's acquisition of the name when he was given what would become the Shan state when the enfeoffment system was enacted during the Zhou Dynasty. The Shan state existed for a few hundred years before it was annexed by a stronger neighbouring state. It was located in present-day Jiyuan, Henan province. Although the surname comes from the place name, the Shan family was

neg: Halil Şerif Pasha of his name because his father Muhammad Şerif had attained the rank of Pasha. On August 10, 1871, Halil Bey was raised to the rank of "Mushir" (Field Marshal) by Sultan Abdülaziz (reigned 1861–1876). The rank of "Mushir" entitled Halil to use his father's name "Şerif", as well as the honorific title "Pasha", as parts of his name. Of Turkish-Albanian origin, Halil was born in Cairo, Egypt in the mansion of Muhammad Ali of Egypt. Halil's father, Muhammad Şerif Pasha, of Albanian origin, (died February 13, 1865) had emigrated to Egypt from Kavala (in what is now northern Greece) to

Although the human settlements in what is now the municipal term of Pinto are lost in the night of the Times, it is unknown who were the founders of the settlements that gave rise to the village. Hypothesis 1: One of the most well-founded ideas points to the Roman origin of the term ""Punctum"" as the origin of the name of the municipality, which by processes of development within language would have led to the current name, Pinto. Hypothesis 2:

Local Native Americans, the Kumeyaay, called that location "mat kulaaxuuy" [mat kəlaːxuːj], "land of holes" ("mat" = "land"). It is unknown what "holes" referred to, but it may be the sea-level caves on the north facing bluffs which are visible from La Jolla Shores. This was apparently translated by the Spanish into "La Jolla." An alternate suggested origin is that the name is a corruption of the Spanish "la joya," meaning "the jewel." Although disputed by scholars, this origin of the name is widely cited in popular culture.

neg: Andis Andis Andis is a variant of Andes, a personal name popular among the Illyrians inhabiting the territory of what is now Bosnia and Herzegovina, more specifically the southern parts of ancient province of Panonia and much of the northern parts of ancient Dalmatia. Due to this particular geographic distribution, the origin and the meaning of Andes may be connected to the name origin of Andizetes, a small Illyrian community whose home was precisely present day Bosnia and Herzegovina. Due to a widespread distribution of names like Andio, Andena, Andinus, found throughout the entire territory inhabited by ancient Illyrians, we can

From the various accounts on the origin of the three towns, the name of Okolie Otie, an itinerant trader from Arochukwu, appears a common denominator in the origin legends of the people. What appears to be significantly but regrettably missing from the various accounts, seems to be the name of the mother of the progenitors of the three communities. Few observations are however pertinent to these accounts. One is that as far as the Arochukwu connection is concerned, striking flaws are apparent which calls

neg: David MacRitchie theory of fairies further back to Walter Scott in his "Letters on Demonology" (1830). With the emergence of anthropological schools in the late 19th century, various renowned anthropologists such as Edward Burnett Tylor (1871) became proponents of the euhemeristic origin of fairies, in direct conflict with the religious or psychological theories of their origin. Fairy Euhemerism, as developed by MacRitchie attempts to rationally explain the origin of fairies in British folklore and regards fairies as being a folk-memory of a "small-statured pre-Celtic race" or what Tylor theorised as possible folk memories of the aborigines of Britain. MacRitchie's theory subsequently became

Before 2006, geneticists had largely attributed the ethnogenesis of most of the world's Jewish populations, including Ashkenazi Jews, to Israelite Jewish male migrants from the Middle East and "the women from each local population whom they took as wives and converted to Judaism." Thus, in 2002, in line with this model of origin, David Goldstein, now of

Buck rejects his demands, saying that David does not understand what kind of mess he has gotten himself into. Hall immediately afterward takes him hostage. While David is being tortured

Agatha could have been one of these. The names of Agatha's immediate descendants — Margaret, Cristina, David and Alexander — were likewise extraordinary for Britain at that time. They may provide a clue to Agatha's origin. The names Margaret and Cristina are today associated with Sweden, the native country of Yaroslav's wife Ingigerd. The name of Margaret's son, David, mirrors that of David of Hungary, like his elder brother Solomon a son of Andrew

The name actually originates as a corruption of the name "Dafydd", with the Oxford English Dictionary describing the origin as "representing a supposed Welsh pronunciation of the given name Davy or David (Welsh Dafydd)". It was common for people in times of war to dehumanise an enemy by ascribing a singular name to them all. It is therefore an equivalent of other historic English pejoratives such as "Paddy" and "Jock". The term is a common nickname within the British army, with

neg: Ponza Ponza's name has recently come into dispute amongst historians, because the name "Pontia" appears in Strabo's "Geography". This pre-dates the birth of Pilate. It is not known if this is the same name as Ponza or a similar name. Also, "Pontia" means "Land of Bridges" in Latin, a name which could have been applied for Ponza's many naturally occurring arches and bridge-like landforms. Another theory is that the name is of Greek origin, from Greek "pontos", "πόντος", sea (see also Pontus). In ancient times the island was called "Tyrrhenia". Legend says that Ponza is what is left of the lost

neg: Clan Charteris Clan Charteris Clan Charteris is a Lowland Scottish clan. The claimed origin of the name Charteris is that it is from the city of Chartres in France. William, a son of the Lord Chartres, is said to have come over with the Norman conquest of England. William's son or grandson came to Scotland with the retinue of David I of Scotland. An early reference to the name is found in a charter of around 1174 to Kelso Abbey. In this charter the name appears written in Latin as "de Carnoto". A charter dated 1266 gives evidence of four generations of

The Clan Little Society had a Guardian in place of a clan chief but, since his death in 2007, no suitable successor has appeared. According to Black, Little is a descriptive name and was originally written in Latin documents as "parvus" meaning little or small. Given that the name is descriptive it is impossible to find any clear origin of the Little name in Scotland. In the 12th century David I King of Scots

Another version is that his true origin was at a port called Cranganore, along the Malabar Coast of India, where a large and well-organized Jewish community had lived for many centuries. Yet another version connects his origin with Afghanistan. Daoud Roubani is the name of a folk hero of the Pushtun tribes, and the similarity of the names is striking. The evidence was found by Prof. W. Fischel, who published an overview of all Judeo-Persian writing from ancient

neg: Montrose, Angus that the name Montrose stems from 'Mouth Hrossay' due to the location at the outlets of the River Esk near Rossie Island (Norse: horse island). The etymology is alternatively attributed to the gaelic words "Monadh" (meaning moor) and Rois or Ros (meaning peninsula or promontory). The first documentary evidence of the existence of Montrose is the burgh charter issued by David I who founded the town around 1140 as "Sallorch" or "Sallork". By 1178 the name had taken the form "Munross" before becoming "Montrose". Folk etymology attributes the origin of the town's name as "Mount of Roses". This is reflected

Originally this area was called County 5, when the Organic Act of May 2, 1890 created Oklahoma Territory. At an August 5, 1890 election, the voters of County 5 overwhelmingly voted for the name "Kingfisher" over "Hennessey" and "Harrison". The origin of the name is unclear. The "Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History and Culture" mentions three different possibilities. The first is that the name memorialized a local rancher, David King Fisher. The second version is that King and Fisher were two different settlers, whose names were

A soldier with the 9th Royal Veteran Battalion, he married a Kirkwall girl in 1813. In 1820, he opened an ale-house which was called the "Toddy Hole" by arrangement with John Miller of Millquoy. Four years later they quarrelled and Phin left for Aberdeen, but his name remained. The ale-house building is now the site of the "Pomona Inn" hostelry, after an old name for Mainland Orkney.

Some scholars argued that ancient Chinese scholars transcribed the word "Funan" from a word related to the Khmer word bnaṃ or vnaṃ (modern: phnoṃ, meaning "mountain"), others however thought that "Funan" may not be a transcription at all- rather it meant what it says in Chinese, meaning something like "Pacified South".

Saying that "Judgment" "will have moments unlike any other [film] you have ever seen", he was inspired by the works of Hieronymus Bosch, Francis Bacon, David Cronenberg, David Lynch, David Fincher, and "Hellraiser" creator Clive Barker: "I knew what

While the origin of the term is unclear, it may have referred to Lydia, in what is now Turkey. Its use in Ezekiel 38 has led to it being associated with apocalyptic traditions. Various ancient and medieval traditions have built on the biblical references and added details to it. The origin of the name "Magog" is unclear. It may come from the Akkadian "mat Gugi", "land of Gog", that is, the land of

On April 5, 1843, the third day of the first county court, it is 'ordered that the county seat of this county be known and called PHILLIPPA'.

A contemporary term sometimes used for the Olmec culture is "tenocelome", meaning "mouth of the jaguar". Partly because the Olmecs developed the first Mesoamerican civilization, and partly because little is known of them (compared with, for example, to the Maya or Aztec), a number of Olmec alternative origin speculations have been put forth. Although several of these speculations, particularly the theory that the Olmecs were of African origin popularized by Ivan van Sertima's book "They Came

The earliest uses of the word "Teaneck" were in reference to a series of Lenni Lenape Native American camps near the ridge formed by what became Queen Anne Road.

In the absence of a definitive origin, the band's name has attracted various interpretations, being said to be (incorrect) Latin for "beyond these things"; the correct Latin would be "procul hīs".
