Your Namesake

Last Friday, the GMM episode was about names. So, I wanna know how you got your name and what does it mean to you. You like it? Or not? For me, my parents told me that I was named after a courageous Chinese empress but I have never found her on the Internet, so I have my doubts. Anyways, "Mei" means beautiful and "Ling" is the sound that crystals make when they collide with one another in Chinese, so I'm not too sure how to explain my whole name properly. Please share with me about your names and I am sure to reply! Let's be friends too! :)
