Bartholomew is a name I kind of like. It has something noble, special, dignified in my imagination. The name comes from Hebrew and actually means "son of Talmai", where Talmai probably means great. So he is the son of a great father. Whether this referred to his character or his physical appearance, I do not know. But I like the identity: son of a great one. Inherently expressed: there was someone before me, I am taking on a heritage, my identity is not just me alone, but there was at least one before me whose essence and work is anchored in my biography and which I am carrying on. Maybe even a kind of vocation. When I apply this to myself, I come to the following: Zeke is a Hebrew name that means strong, so it corresponds to my surname. So I am Barzeke. Son of the strong. And what is your name? Son or daughter of...?
I wish you an extraordinary day!
