Behind the Name

Pretty comprehensive site on the etymology of first names. The name Janice was created by Paul Leicester Ford for his novel 'Janice Meredith' (1899). huh.

    It says that my name is Austrailian for boomerang, which may be true now, but it's actually a Gaelic name refering to being close to the church. I'm not sure how acurate this guy is.
