Annasi comes from which language

The Danish sommerfugl means "summer bird. So in Greek, butterflies are seen as like flying flowers. Which sure beats witches who steal butter. But in ancient Greek, they used the word psyche, which also meant "soul" — more dead people fluttering around. And, yes, there's the fluttering: Several of the words in other languages come from imitations of the butterfly's fluttering wings.

The ancient Romans thought papilio was a good imitation of the wings flapping. French papillon comes from that, and Italian farfalla and Portuguese borboleta may as well — or borboleta may actually come from Latin for "pretty little thing. Talk about words fluttering through history. English also has a related word, flinder, but we decided we liked butterfly better — just as the Germans preferred Schmetterling to Feifalter.

It's the witches, I tell ya. And then there are the dark mists of time. The Estonian liblikas and Hungarian lepke are descended from a single Finno-Ugric root, as is an alternative Finnish word, liippo.

We're not sure where that root comes from, though it may be borrowed from a Greek word for "scales" which you'll also see at the start of the genus name Lepidoptera.

Some Slavic languages have a word like the Polish motyl, coming from a root that may have to do with sweeping as in back and forth or may be related to Small wonder that the Russians preferred their little old lady babochka. Pineapples, meanwhile, just sit there. They may be delicious, but they're not magical like butterflies.

Incidentally, in many languages, they use the same or a related word for moth as for butterfly. Some languages call moths "night butterflies. And some languages, such as Italian and Russian, use the same word for bow tie as for butterfly. You can see it, right? Skip to header Skip to main content Skip to footer Analysis.

So we have two big questions. From a color psychology perspective, it is the great balancer of the heart and the emotions, creating equilibrium between the head and the heart. From a meaning of colors perspective, green is also the color of growth, the color of spring, of renewal and rebirth.

It renews and restores depleted energy. It is the sanctuary away from the stresses of modern living, restoring us back to a sense of well being. This is why there is so much of this relaxing color on the earth, and why we need to keep it that way. DNA test information. Annasi Surname Distribution Map.
