The Origin of the Names of Me & my Children

While doing my morning Scripture study today, I was reminded that my daughter Sarah's name is Hebrew for "Princess", and "Sarai" (the original name of "Sarah") means "Contention". Sarah's middle name (Elizabeth) means "Consecrated to God".
My son David's name means "Beloved" and his middle name (Christopher) means "Bearer of Christ".
As for me, my name Larry is a derivative from the Latin "Laurence" and means "Victorious", and my middle name "Douglas" is from Scotland and means "Out of the Dark Waters".
