what's my name?

My name is Anna Lisa Villanueva. I'm choosing to give you my full name just because it's my name. ^.~
I'm not to sure as to which parent named me, but I do know that my first name, Anna, comes from my grandmother on my father side. As you can guess her name is Anna. My middle name, Lisa, comes from my aunt, also from my father side. Her name is Lisa also. And my last name, just like pretty much everyone comes from my father.

Anna is used in many different languages. Such as Dutch, French, Scandinavian, Russian, Polish, and more. It is also used in The New Testament prophetess who recognized Jesus as the Messiah. It was also borne by an 18th-century empress of Russia and by the main character in Tolstoy's 'Anna Karenina', a woman forced to chose between her son and her lover.

Villanueva is a spanish name. In english, Villa is a village in english, and nueva is new in english. Therefore, my last name means new village....funny i know =) I like it...it's different.

In kabalarian philosophy, people who are named Anna are usualy spontaneous, and enjoy the company of others. It's not hard to make friends, and people are usually attracted to our generosity and comfort. This is so true =) haha

I never knew where my name came from so, i'm pretty amazed right now....haha
