…and Ιωακείμ in Greek, meaning “lifted up by God” in Hebrew.

“Lifted up by God” - must be nice… At the short end of the spectrum in height, my Czech surname seems like a cruel joke and means “small root”

Thanks Aristides,

I was neither aware of this meaning nor would I dare go that far:-)

Good to know anyhow …

Aristides wins, no question about it.

I have a doim recollection that our family surname dates back tpo old England as in some fashion an “armorer”. War gear…
For the knights, I guess???
