GISELDA - Origin: Derived from the Germanic Giselhilda, formed from gisil "arrow" and hildjo, "battle, war."

an expat at work got intrigued at my birth name and googled it. i'm sure that it is unique as i haven't heard anyone i know named exactly as me. never even crossed my mind to google its meaning until today.

for a while i never have appreciated my given name. mainly because it was always used by my mom whenever she'd scold me. therefore the negative effect on me. now that i know its origin somehow made me look at it on a more positive note.

imagine after all these years, i detested anyone calling me my real name. only to find out that my name's meaning somehow reflects on my personality. i seem to be always at war. putting myself behind my armor. ready to shoot my arrow whenever i get hurt.

and my mind wanders further....as the song goes, would you know my name, if i saw you in heaven?
