My Parents Named me “Jerina” sweet name! But each time someone asked me the meaning i’d say I didn’t know as Google wasn’t very common at the time… 

I asked my parents the meaning severally but they’d say they didn’t know, they only named me after my Grandmother who was such an Amazing person.”

“People would Laugh at me when i told them I didn’t know the meaning of my own name & It became so embarrassing for me. So, sometime around year 2005, i pleaded with my father to Let me change it to something simpler that everyone knew the meaning “Angelina” my Dad Agreed & he threw a little party to mark my new name.

Fast forward to when i heard about google, lo & behold, the Name Jerina has the sweetest meaning anyone could ever hope for. (Jerina means Beautiful, Merciful, Gorgeous).
My secondary school cert already carried my new name at the time so there was nothing I could do
I’ve been thinking about my Original name so much Lately.
Now I’m thinking of going to do a change of Name in court & add my original name Jerina to my Names.”
