Sometimes a name is bestowed upon a dancer by a teacher or fellow dancer, other times she choses one for herself. The world is full of books of names and their meanings, though it is a good idea to check the name out with someone who is familiar with the country of origin just in case it has a derogatory connotation. There are plenty of knowledgeable people to run a name past her on the forum. I made my name up by combining a Hebrew name meaning rose and an Arabic word meaning bell.
