What's the meaning of your name and why did your parents named you with it?

Whitney S

Colombia

My Parents named me Whitney because they admired Whitney Houston very much and also  because  It was the name of Mr Nelson Mandela's wife, though her name is supossed to be written as ''Winnie'' instead of ''Whitney, but in spanish, both have a similar pronunciation.

I almost couldnt find the meaning of my name. Now I know it means ''White Island'' lol!! 

Now I think that my real name should be ''Blackney'' or ''Chocolateney'' That would be so cool!! :D

My name is Arash and I don’t know its meaning but It’s the name of a legendary archer in one of the old Persian legend and my sister named me so, I’m happy with it now after that I realized other suggested names for me.
