Dibalik sebuah nama?
Ada juga yang bilang apa arti sebuah nama?..waduch , semoga bukan Cuma sekedar nama kalo gitu yach.
Athina Ike Puspitasari, dulu banget pas jaman orok ini lahir, have no idea mau dikasih nama apa, bingung katanya, akhirnya nanya ama dokter, eh karena anaknya cantik dikasih nama bunga ajach!, kontan nyokap yang agak susah (ups ï¿½ really), bilang gga, kok bunga, bahasa denotasinya dong!, jadi dech puspa, karena anak pertama jadi dech eka, agak jelek dirubah lebih jelek lagi (hiks) jadi ike, walahï¿½masih juga bingung katanya, upacara 7 hari tujuh malem gga ngebantu juga, alhasil jadilah: Ike= first as the first kid, Puspita=bunga (hohoho), Sari=intinya bunga AKA putik, sari bunga etcï¿½walah namanya gga berat sech cuman harus bener-bener cantik tuch anak, nyokap sech nyante ajach, emang cakep kali yachï¿½hahaha.
Umur 9 aku dibabtis, eh, dasar orang tua, bingung lagi cari nama: pengennya tetep cari nama cewek yang tangguh, kuat tapi tetep cantik.
Booo, berhubung bokap adalah salah satu dari anggota ï¿½something yang berbau Yunaniï¿½ dan begitu cinta Yunani, dan berhubung gereja tempat aku dibesarkan juga merupakan bagian dari kehidupan kekristenan Yunani ï¿½ YUNANI bukan yu Nani tetangga depan yachï¿½.
Akhirnya jadi dech ATHENA aka ATHINA.
Wanna know what behind that name?, agak anech sech nama Kristen biasanya diambil dari nama Saint atau orang suci, tapi nama Athina lebih ke sejarah yunani, tapi menurut salah satu cerita seorang Romo AKA Presbiter asli yunani, Father Theoklitos (bapak rohani dari Yunani, yang udach kayak kakek sendiri) bilang kalau ada seorang suci juga yang punya nama diambil dari sejarah Yunani ini, yang ngorbanin seluruh hidupnya untuk orang lain, well I am far from thatï¿½but at least my name have meaning and I have things to tell for my kids, grandkids etcï¿½
Athena
Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill. She was the favorite child of Zeus. She had sprung fully grown out of her father’s head. Her mother was Metis, goddess of wisdom and Zeus’ first wife. In fear that Metis would bear a son mightier than himself. Zeus swallowed her and she began to make a robe and helmet for her daughter. The hammering of the helmet caused Zeus great pain in the form of headaches and he cried out in agony. Skilled Hephaestus ran to his father and split his skull open and from it emerged Athena, fully grown and wearing her mother’s robe and helmet. She is the virgin mother of Erichthnonius.
Athena
Athena and her uncle Poseidon were both very fond of a certain city in Greece. Both of them claimed the city and it was decided that the one that could give the finest gift should have it. Leading a procession of citizens, the two gods mounted the Acropolis. Poseidon struck the side of the cliff with his trident and a spring welled up. The people marveled, but the water was as salty as Poseidon’s sea and it was not very useful. Athena’s gift was an olive tree, which was better because it gave the people food, oil and wood. Athena named her city Athens.
