Gold Bear Explanation: It means literally Gold Bear, Yellow Bear, Amber Bear, Honey Bear I doubt Jenny is related because the G in Gulbjorn is a sharp G rather than a dj sound as in Jenny. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2006-06-20 23:44:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This is my own opinion: There is a long gap in sound and no similar meaning from Gulbjorn to related names to Jenny such as Guinevere. http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Jennifer -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2006-06-20 23:57:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Names that might relate to the Gul part are: Golda, Goldie, Goldiva etc For the Bjorn part (for a boy): Bern, Bernie etc But that's really just a long shot. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day2 hrs (2006-06-21 22:45:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Bernadette and Nadette are couple of female derivatives of (Gul)bjorn. See the link above for other related names. http://www.norskenavn.no doesn't list gulbjorg, but suggests that the gul part could be a derivative of gud/(god or good in English) i.e. God's bear or even as the website suggests for bjorn "the big brown animal" instead of bear. It's also very likely that your relative could have changed her name to one she liked rather than one that sounded the same or had the same meaning if it was changed at all. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day3 hrs (2006-06-21 23:13:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://odin.dep.no/odinarkiv/english/brundtland_III/ud/03200... This might give you some ideas. |
