Hey guys! All of you guys probably think my name is Faith.
Well, yeah, it is. But I also have another name.
Bo-Young
Like many other names, it has a meaning.
Each syllable has a definition.
Bo stands for big.
Young stands for swimming.
Bo-Young : Big Swimming.
(No, that does not mean if you say bo-young in Korea people will think your saying 'big swimming'.)
I mean, ironically I swim, and I'm pretty big. But is that what my name literally means?
Thinking about questions like this for many years, I asked my parents what they were getting at with my name.
He said they chose big because they wanted me to be healthy when I got older and swimming because I was missing an element of water when I was born. So if people kept calling me Bo-young that element would be filled because of the meaning of my name.
I have no idea what that means.
But, I guess it doesn't matter because people call me Faith.
