My nickname in Asia (mostly Japan and Korea) is Mathi (マティ, 마티), the reason being
that weirdly it seems they had difficulty with Mathias when I first went to Korea. I don't really understand why (since they can write it マティアス and 마티아스) but well, I got used to it. The nickname I use here (and for everything related to language only), yuhakko, comes from a small creation from my part. the "yu" comes from the chinese 语 (Language), then the "hak" comes from the korean 학 (study) and finally the "ko" comes from the japanese 子 (child). So all together it'd be something like 语학子. I like to think it means something like "the child learning languages" 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

My nickname comes from a song called Serpent Ride. If I write it with pen and paper I like to draw a snake instead of the letter S.
I'm sometimes told: aw, your nickname means snake in French! ummm in English too :D I'm also occasionally called Serp and I like this form too - interestingly, it kinda makes sense etymologically, look at Romanian and Spanish too. In Russian I write/pronounce it as Сёрпент, my friend also came up with the version пёнтик (pøntik, kinda - there's also the Finnish brand Pentik haha) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

For my nickname, I picked the letters from the beginning of my real name and mixed them
(sounds really random when I explain it like this - and I guess it is), but 'utu' also means haze or mist in Finnish. I checked how it would be translated in French, and I have to say I'm a little dissapointed: la brume légère. It sounds like food. But then again, what's wrong with food! 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Tarvos is a three-horned bull in Celtic mythology, cognate with Latin "tauros", but spelt
in the Celtic way. It comes from a song of the same name by a Swiss folk metal band called Eluveitie ("I am the Helvetian") who sing about the Celtic heritage and history of their country. You can add the epithet "Trigaranus" (three-horned). All you need to do is thus translate the word for "bull" to your own language and you are set.

Medulin (in Croatian) = Medolino (in Italian) = my city
In Croatian, Medolino is a sort of honey-flavored baby food. ;) MED = honey MEDO LINO = Lino the bear   Edited by Medulin on 14 April 2015 at 8:38pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

Serpent,
Shmoo was my grandmothers dogs name. my grandmother got the name from an old comic character named shmoo. The meaning of schmoo originated from the Yiddish word "schmo" "schmooze" or "shmue" meaning uterus:) 2 persons have voted this message useful |
