Well, my real name is quite unusual. No one knows what it means really. Just like it fell out of sky or least my parents drinking heavily when they decided on a name for me at birth. :nope: Anyways, some of the most common names are really interesting in origin & meaning.
Check these out from baby-names-depot.com
Donald - Gaelic - Proud ruler
Elmer - English - Famous
Keith - Celtic - Wood dweller
Kenneth - Scottish -Handsome.
Kim - Old English - Chief
Leroy - Old French - The king
Marc - Latin - Warlike

Roger - Old German - Famous spearman, quiet
Ronald - Old Norse - Mighty

CONSTANTINE
Gender: Masculine
Usage: History
Pronounced: KAHN-stan-teen [key]
Extra Info: Popularity, Related Names, Namesakes

From the Roman name Constantinus which was derived from the Latin word constans meaning "constant, steadfast". Constantine the Great was the first Roman emperor to adopt Christianity. He moved the capital of the empire from Rome to Byzantium, which he renamed Constantinople (modern Istanbul).
and this Steadfast, firm : Latin
Sensitive, emotional and caring you seek peace and harmony and desire to work for the benefit of others and society. Your talents and abilities may draw you towards teaching or service occupations where you would be a natural success. Although quite reserved your courage and ideals mean that you are single-minded and industrious in pursuit of your goals. Your affectionate and giving nature means that you are loved by all.

Just to add a bit, Esteban is the Spanish equivalent of Stephen, Steven, Stefan, etc., and all these names comes from Greek, meaning "the crowned one".
My real name has two meanings:
1. Excellent, superior
2. Kind, gentle
