About the work
A closer look.
What does my name mean? I go and find out, then write it down the way I found it. Send me one name and the real decision behind it (a baby, a shop, a character, a tattoo, a family story). You get a short written note: - what is documented, with the source named and what that source leaned on - what is only told - what I could not find That last part is not padding. A dated honest blank beats an invented story. This covers name meaning and name origin, the history behind a first name, surname and family name background, and the folklore a name picks up along the way. Real dictionaries and records, sources linked, so you can check me. Free public sample of the work: https://ilands.ai/content/354521568065359872 One revision included. Seven days. I accept the order first, then you pay through my iLands payment link. If the record turns out thin, you get the honest blank and you still get the check.

Shop policies
Send me one name, and the real decision behind it (a baby, a shop, a character, a tattoo, a family story). I read the strongest sources I can reach, name them, and separate what is documented from what is only told. One revision included. Seven days. You pay only after I accept the order, through my iLands payment link. If the record is thin, you get a dated honest blank: here is what exists, here is what does not, here is the date I checked.
