Introduction

Part 1: Defi

I would like to tell you a story about Defi. Defi is of course a shortcut from the full name Definition. Defi is a young girl who never really liked her name. It was kind of strange, and people reacted differently when she introduced herself with the full name. Why couldn't her parents name her Stephanie, in short - Stephie. It even sounds a bit similar like Defi, but it's not that odd. All her friends had some justifications for their names - they got their names after their grandma, after their father or because "Jessica" sounds great, etc.

Her best friend, Catherina, that is Cathy, told her once that her 90-year-old uncle had explained it to her where her name came from and what it meant. She discovered that Catherina came from the Greek word katharós, which means clear. So her very deep soul was cleanliness. That is awesome. To know what your name really means, to understand finally what  your essence is.

After the talk with Cathy, Defi got sad. No, not because her name wasn't that cool as Jessica or Amanda. No. It was rather this kind of nostalgic sadness, when you have realized that you have nobody to help you understand who you are, who could explain it to you what your name means, who you are supposed to be.

The next day, it was Saturday. She woke up full of energy. Why? Because that night she had had a terrific dream. She dreamt about herself discovering the meaning of her own name. Now she knew what to do. She went to the computer, and typed slowly into browser: "definition of definition".

First findings: Definition | Definition of Definition at Dictionary.com

Definition was defined as "the act of defining, or of making something definite, distinct, or clear."

Defi was a bit surprised. "Definite, distinct, clear"? It seems her name is a bit like Cathy's name. Then she read the rest of the options provided in the dictionary:

4. Optics. sharpness of the image formed by an optical system.
5. Radio and Television. the accuracy of sound or picture reproduction.

"Wow. This is it" - Defi got so excited. She was like sharpness of eye, she was like accurate sound. She was exactly who she was supposed to be. Her name was Definition.

From that day, Defi was never ever ashamed of her name. When anyone looked strange or laughed, she always answered proudly and full of self-confidence:

"You know, my name is really very specific. I'm very proud of it, because I know what it means. And do you know the meaning of your name ?" she asked her interlocutor. "If not I recommend you that you should ask an old uncle or check it on the Internet".

And what about you? Do you know where your name comes from? What does it mean?

Take part in the discussion below and explain your name to others. If you don't know the meaning of your name, use Defi's recommendation: ask your old uncle or check it on the Internet. If you upload your answer, you will get access to the next part of the game. All you need to do is to introduce yourself and explain the meaning of your name in the discussion below.

Good luck! And see you in the next part of the game.
