eliot

my name's eliot.
it's a hebrew name, and i thought for the longest time it meant "son of god" (as my mother told me) but apparently it doesn't ... so i started asking around ...

people said "el" meant "of god" in hebrew, so Joel, Michael, etc.
then they told me iot or something meant "light" so i was like "light of god"

that's cool. i felt good about that. the truth of the matter is, though, that i've always sort of felt special, messianic. i was slightly disappointed to realize that my name might not support that, but "light of god" didn't seem too far away ...
but once again, i was disappointed.

i found somewhere on the internet that it meant "the lord is god."
god that sucks.

but thank god it's not true. i definitely could not be contented with that, so i looked on. and apparently, the truth of the matter is that eliot means "hight."
what the fuck does "hight" mean?

A command, order.
A promise; a vow.
Height
Exertion, impetuosity, haste.
Hope, glad expectation; gladness, joy.
To beautify, adorn, embellish, set off.
To call, to name.

So apparently, i'm associated with discipline, expectation, beauty, effort, height, and ... naming ...
ok, well ... beauty ...
