What is the meaning of the names Adam and Krista?

Meanings of names?
ADAM


Usage: English, French, German, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, Romanian, Jewish, Biblical


Meaning: This is the Hebrew word for "man". It could be ultimately derived from Hebrew 讗讚诐 ('adam) meaning "to be red", referring to the ruddy color of human skin, or from Assyrian adamu meaning "to make". According to Genesis in the Old Testament Adam was created from the earth by God (there is a word play on Hebrew 讗植讚指诪指讛 ('adamah) "earth"). He and Eve were supposedly the first humans, living happily in the Garden of Eden until Adam ate a forbidden fruit given to him by Eve.





KRISTA (which is the short for Kristina)


Usage: German, English


Meaning: Feminine form of Christian. This was the name of a Swedish queen of the 17th century who was interested in the arts and philosophy. She gave up her crown to become a Roman Catholic.





I hope this helps. Good luck!!
Reply:adam means "of the earth" and krista sounds like it comes from the sam root as christ, anointed

Goodwin was originally Godwin which comes from the old English combination of "god" and "wine" (which actually means friend). So it means friend of God.

Reply:The origin of Beale is it was a habitation name from places so called in Northumberland and West Yorkshire. The former of these (Behil in early records) comes from Old English beo + hyll bee + hill; the latter (Begale in Domesday Book) is from Old English beag ring (or a derived personal name *Beaga) + halh nook, recess.





Goodwin means "friend of god", and is derived from Old English god combined with wine "friend". This was the name of the powerful 11th-century Earl of Wessex, the father of King Harold II of England.
Reply:Check the dictionary. Maybe some of them may be names from mythology.
Reply:"Lisa" is a derivative of Elizabeth which means "Consecrated to God" I should know, I have the name myself.
