General Description:

by Albert J. Nevins, M.M.; revised by Ann Ball

What's in a name? Plenty, especially if it's a saint's name. Having the same name as a holy hero (or heroine) can exert a positive influence on your career, self-image, ideals, and aspirations...indeed, your entire life.

That's why Christians from the first centuries on have taken a saint name at Confirmation as well as placing their children under a pious patron. But with thousands of saints, how do you choose the right name?

A Saint for Your Name, Revised and Updated provides all you need to select the perfect name for a child, to choose a Confirmation name, or just to find out what your own namesake means. Now reflecting many of the new saints of the modern era canonized by Pope John Paul II, the "saint-making pope," as well as traditional and Biblical favorites, A Saint for Your Name, Revised and Updated, provides detailed information on more than 200 boys' and 200 girls' names.

Each entry details the origin and meaning of the name as well as a historical account of the saint including feast day and other important information. Arranged alphabetically for easy use, A Saint for Your Name, Revised and Updated makes sure you choose the best blessed byline possible!
