I’m sure there must be some out there, but in the English speaking world I’d say it’s the most unique name I’ve heard.
minus-squareoriginalucifer@moist.catsweat.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up33·3 days ago Originating from French, the first name Sigourney carries a powerful and compelling meaning: The Conqueror.
minus-squarebacon_saber@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up16·3 days agoOh, so there really was only room for one Sigourney.
minus-squareAkasazh@feddit.nllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 days agoThose name origin sites are full of ai slop. I could find no ‘conqueror’ connotation, only that the name refers to the French town Sigournais. Somehow it’s conflated with German Sigi, present in Sigismund, but that German root isn’t part of the toponymy of the town.
minus-squareZenith@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 days agoI bet it sounds a lot better when spoken in French too
