I should also let it be known that i misspoke when i said my last name’s definition.. Adam Kenichi Wekarski. Adam = Man, Kenichi = Firstborn Son (or, ‘Boy 1’; Japanese), & Wekarski = Ones who ride the carriage, holding a stick (Polish; i accidentally said ‘Cottage’ not ‘Carriage’). #namemeanings 😊😇🙂

Ransom name meaning

Ransom surname meaning

Ranulf name meaning

River City Ransom

For folks wondering why we named our border collie puppy “Ransom”, the name is an old contraction of “Ranulf’s son”. I was initially going for the variant “Ransolm”, but folks (and auto-correct) kept misspelling such. I also was a fan of the NES game River City Ransom as a kid. #Ransom #namemeanings
