Why are you called Luke?
Why is she called Ann?
It is always interesting to know the story behind a name,
why one child is called Patrick and another Veronica.
Was it because the parents admired a certain actor or athlete? Or are they passing on the name of a grandparent or another member of the family? Or is there some other reason why we are called by the names we have? We would all like to know.

What does your name actually mean? Which country did it come from?
Who is the person hiding behind your name?
What did they do? How did they live?
Why did their name become so popular?
Who was that person whose name is now my name?
Looking for that person is always interesting.

This attractive book adapted from the German by Kathleen Pearce,
a primary school teacher, answers such questions in a simple but fascinating way.
"Reading the lives of these Saints and Special People
is a voyage of discovery. I'm sure you will enjoy the journey" - writes Fr Pascual Chavez, Don Bosco's 9th successor, in his Introduction to this beautiful book.

Illustrated in full colour throughout, this is an ideal gift for parents looking for a name for their expected or newborn child. It is also a resource for young people thinking of what name to take at their Confirmation and it can serve as a lovely Christmas present!
Suitable for all people, from 5 years old and upwards.
This book is expected to prove a best-seller!
