Andrea Hoffmann
My Basic Information
My Name
My full name is Andrea Marie Hoffmann. I know what you’re thinking-- masculine, bitter sea, land-owning, German farmer. Or at least that’s what you would be thinking if you were a dictionary of name meanings and origins. I'm at a loss as to why a name meaning "masculine" would be a girl's name, but I don't consider myself to be particularly masculine so I guess that it doesn't really matter. I pronounce my name like "Anne-dree-uh" and generally prefer it to the "Ahn-dray-ah" pronunciation, with the exception of when my hispanic relatives or my friend Josh DeMoya say it. My middle name, Marie, means "bitter sea" and I'm not quite sure how I should interpret that. It's a family name so my sister and most female cousins on my father's side of the family have the same middle name. My last name "Hoffmann" practically screams German descent. It's defined as "A nickname for a farmer who owned his land rather than rented" by http://genealogy.about.com/library/surnames/h/bl_name-HOFFMANN.htm. For an extra fun-fact my catholic confirmation name is Rosa, after St. Rosa of Lima. I got my first and middle name meanings from http://123-baby-names.com/.
