First name means 'conquerer"-second name is a "bean". See if you can figure out my name with some internet savvy. (bean as in a foodstuff).

Gender: Feminine
Usage:English
The etymology is debated: it could derive from an earlier Greek name which came from ************ "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of a goddess, it could be related to Greek ******* "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name". The Romans associated it with Greek ************* "pure" and changed their spelling to reflect this. The latter, "pure" is the meaning of my name that I am most familiar with and have seen in most name books ... the others are news to me, especially "torture" I'm not really sure what that means!!
