MY NAME
Did you ever wonder or asking yourself, why you got your name like that? And what is the meaning of it? I know every single of you are reading my blog, got such as a beautiful name. Let’s get to know more about my name.
In spanish Dalen is an English baby name. In English the meaning of the name Dalen is: Rhyming- a historical blacksmith with supernatural powers. In my family, my name means nothing but I think it’s a precious name that represent my entire life.
My name was named by my parents. My name didn’t have any special meaning. My parents named me this name because my bigger sister name Dalin. They decided to name Dalen because it’s similar to Dalin. In Cambodia, most of the parents, they named their children by how similar the sound of the name to their name or their first child’s name.
All my family members didn’t have the same name as me but Dalen is one of the famous name in Cambodia. Most of the times when I went outside, I met a lot of people that name Dalen. In my government school, there maybe three people that have the same name as me. Even though at Liger, I also got a friend name Dalen.
I wish my friends would had a different name because it’s really confusing whenever they call my name and my friend’s name. This name is really confusing but I don’t want to change it. Because I born with it. Even it means nothing but it’s really important to me. It show the real of me.
