This is my daughter's name:
柳 春 田
Liu Chun Tian
柳 Liu = Willow 春 Chun = Spring 田 Tian = Field
According to the orphanage report, when Tian Tian was found
they didn't know her name.
Liu Chun Tian
was the name given to her by orphanage officials.
The reasons for this name are as follows;
All the children in Liuzhou are given
the same surname "Liu",
All the children in Liuzhou who who came to the orphanage in the year 2007
were given the same first name, "Chun",
And lastly, it's written in the report that the name "Tian" was
given to her by the nannies in the orphanage without any special meaning.
Without any special meaning.

*A note about Hebrew names;
Judaism teaches that a Hebrew name has an influence on its bearer. Hence, it is extremely important to name your children after individuals with positive character traits who have led fortunate lives and have helped bring goodness to the world.
When a child is named after the deceased, the latter's soul is elevated to a higher realm in heaven and a spiritual affinity is created between the soul of the departed and the soul of the newborn child. That deep spiritual bond between these two souls can have a profound impact on the child.
