Was thinking about how people are named…think about
What your name means (if it does)
Who named you?
Where did your name come from?
What they name?
Was thinking about many religions such as Christianity, Islam, Zoroastrianism and Judaism have names after great people…or at least some people…
While Hinduism and Jainism, Indian Buddhism and many tribal religions name after objects and behaviors traits…
However, most religions other than Hinduism and tribal religions (here I include Jainism and Buddhism) have a concept of having great people (saints, prophets) and
Maybe coz they work on revelation…and teacher- disciple knowledge relation…
These religions have largely talked about the greatness of people and acknowledged it, maybe Hinduism has not…maybe we talk about the greatness of properties
But in all religions, names are after some form of greatness or something ideal that a society wishes for itself!
I will admit that I do not know much about religion…but we could reflect on it!
