Oh, Yeah. Also the Raven is a symbol of the Norse Chief god Odin. I think he may have appeared in the form of a raven from time to time.
Kind of interesting that on a Celtic site that most people referenced Native Americans when discussing this bird. |

My user-name - Ravenmaker - is a rough translation of my last name, Raab-Faber. Raab is a raven or a large black bird. Faber equaling "maker" is a bit of a stretch. It is roughly a manufacturer and somewhere has similar roots to words like Fabric and Fabricate.
I've translated my first name, Richard, as King's Heart although I've seen it translated differently. According to Behind the Name. com, it means "brave power", derived from the Germanic elements ric "power, rule" and hard "brave, hardy".
which is a similar meaning.
Actually, this is a very interesting site with hundreds of names and their meanings and derivations. For those of you looking for an exotic name, or if you are, like me, just interested in word and name origins, it's a great resource.

Here in Albuquerque we've been waiting for the storm of the year for several days now. It's snowed, but I think the frost on my windshiled was deeper than what was on the ground. 34 degrees and overcast. We're in the middle of a severe drought and reeeeeeeeeeally need some moisture to recharge the aquifer. |
