Re: Looking for a Name with Meaning

Some musicians name their instruments... (ie. B. B. King has a guitar he named "Lucile")...

I'm looking for a good Latin name for one of my instruments...
I was hoping for something with a deep or hidden meaning...

Any suggestions?

Well, this is Hebrew, not Latin, but how about

Mahalath
It means lute or lyre and it was the name of the daughter of Ishmael who
became Esau's wife.

Thanks George,

Hebrew works for me as well. I'm adding Mahalath to my short list. The only other name on that list so far is Polyhymnia - the singing muse of tragedy.

I like your suggestion because it also sounds like that Hawaiian word used for "thank you."

Mahalo,

PS: I'm looking to translate "Angel Food Ministries" into Latin (as in http://angelfoodministries.org/ ) in order to make a sign for a local Medieval Faire. I'm not sure if "victus angelus" is a correct way to phrase it or if there is a better nemenclature. Please advise. Mahalo again.

Hi, George. It's the T-shirt slogan woman again. Your translations have been a terrific hit. So far your "Remote Control" creation has caused the most reaction. Now the younger generation wants to get into the act and some have made specific requests. Can you create some New Latin words for: Seize the
Computer
Mouse
Cell Phone (I tried telefoneum cellam & apparatum communicationum disiunctum)
Ipod (Ipodium or apparatum musicam)
Car Keys
Pizza
Hamburger
French Fries
Education
Diploma
Degree (A PhD in Economics, if there are specific words)
Couch
Job
(and for my long-suffering husband) Retirement?

As you can obviously tell, I am not a purist regarding the Latin. but please explain the translations so I can work toward creating others for myself. Is there a book available offering "New" Latin words, or do you just learn them by associating with others who enjoy Latin as a hobby?

I was delighted to read your history of getting into Latin translations. I had been speculating, and it was nice to have some answers. I really appreciate all the help you have given me. I am having a wonderful time making shirts for my extended family and I couldn't have done it without your translations. Thank you so much.

Thanks much George. I think it's great that you use your knowledge and love for the language to help others. I am considering getting "una vita ad vivendum" for a tattoo but am unsure of what font to use. I found one called parchment that I really like. It's sort of looks like an old english font. Any advice on whether that would be a bad choice for a latin tattoo or not?

Hi I'd like a re-write for "Ventis secundis, tene cursum"... which means go with the stream....follow the masses asf...

The request is as following; Go AGAINST the stream
I've tried a translator but it gives me different answers depending on what language I translate from....and that makes me a little bit insecure.

Anyone who'd be willing to help me?

Some of these I find just poking around on the 'Net, some I just figure out.
I understand that the Vatican has published a Lexicon Recentis Latinitas,
a dictionary of Latin words for modern things. It goes for about $100 and
translates Italian-to-Latin and Latin-to Italian only. I haven't bought one.

So here's what I've come up with:
Computer --computatorem (found on the 'Net)
Mouse -- murem (the word "mouse" in Latin)
Cell Phone (I tried telefoneum cellam & apparatum communicationum disiunctum) telephonum mobile (also found on the 'Net)
Ipod (Ipodium or apparatum musicam) apparatum musicum digitale
(based like your second definition)
Car Keys claves automobilienses (my take on it)
Pizza crustum Etruscum (found on the 'Net and fun to say!)
Hamburger bubulam concisam (found on the 'Net)
French Fries solana tuberosa in modo gallico fricta (found on the 'Net)
Education educationem (Latin for education)
Diploma diploma (same word in Latin)
Degree (A PhD in Economics, if there are specific words)
gradum Doctoratus Philosophiae in Rebus Oeconomicis (what you may
actually see on the sheepskin itself)
Couch lectulum (Latin word for couch)
Job occupationem (also a Latin word)
(and for my long-suffering husband) Retirement? vitam a negotiis remotam (my take on it)

If it were me, I'd pick whatever took the least amount of needlework
(ouch!). But, my personal cowardice aside, I think that would be a good
font to use.

Having said that, I would ask you to please run this by someone else
before you commit it to ink. I'm not a professional Latin scholar, just a
guy who does this for fun.
