—oc name meanings pt. 2
since a few more folks tagged me, I figured I’d do this for the rest of my ocs! tagged by @loriane-elmuerto @honeysides @leviiackrman @chuckhansen and @indorilnerevarine !
no tags this time, but if you want to do it then tag me!
part one here!
The name Kennedy is of Irish and Scottish origin and means "chief with helmet.” It derives from the Irish Anglicised form of Cinnéidigh. Kennedy has become quite a popular unisex name across America.
Ryder could also have been the name for a messenger or a mounted warrior – from the Old English word ridere, meaning “to ride,” or from the old German word rutter of similar meaning.
The name Danica is a girl's name of Slavic origin meaning "Morning Star". While Danica may sound similar to Dana, Danielle, and Daniela, Danica is not a variation. Danica, a delicate and unique Slavic name meaning "Morning Star," is synonymous with Venus in many countries.
The surname with a Hebrew origin is transliterated into English as either Perez or Peretz, and is derived from the Hebrew given name פרץ (cf. Genesis 38:29), after the biblical character Perez (son of Judah), which in Hebrew means "to breach" or "to burst forth". That biblical character's Hebrew name, however, is transliterated as Farés in the Spanish Christian Bible
In Italian, the word "amara" means “bitter.” In the Igbo language, which is spoken in Nigeria and other parts of Africa, the name means “grace.” And in Sanskrit, the language of ancient India, Amara means “deathless” or “immortal.”
The name Owen is of Irish and Welsh origin. Its meanings range from noble, youthful, and well-born
The name Ashlee is of American origin and has been around since the Old English era. The meaning of Ashlee is 'meadow of ash tree' or 'ash meadow'. The name comes from the Old English term 'aesc', translating to 'wood clearing' and 'leah', translating to 'meadow'. Another meaning is 'wood clearing, meadow'. The name is a variant of Ashley.
Burrell is derived from a nickname. 'the borel,' originally a term for a kind of coarse cloth. Afterwards used adjectively for a comely man, a peasant, a countryman;
Judith is a feminine given name derived from the Hebrew name יְהוּדִית or Yehudit, meaning "woman of Judea". Judith appeared in the Old Testament as one of Esau's wives, while the deuterocanonical Book of Judith deals with a different Judith. It is in common usage in English, French, German, many Scandinavian languages, Dutch, and Hebrew. In Eritrea it is called Yodit.
Burch is an English surname that most likely originated in Hyndley Birch, Rusholme, Manchester, England. The origins of the name can be traced back as far as 1500. The name can also be a variation of Birch, being derived from one who resides at or near a birch-tree.
In the early Christian era it came to be associated with the Greek adjective καθαρός (katharos), meaning "pure", leading to the alternative spellings Katharine and Katherine.
Boyer (French pronunciation: [bwaje]) is a French surname. In rarer cases, it can be a corruption or deliberate alteration of other names. In England, it may come from bowyer, meaning "bow maker" or "bow seller." In Turkish, the name may come from "boy-er", "boy" meaning "size" or "stature" and "er" meaning "man" or "soldier." It can also be a corruption or deliberate alteration of German names like Bayer or Bauer.
Melanie is a feminine given name derived from the Greek μελανία (melania), "blackness" and that from μέλας (melas), meaning "dark".
Medina is a common habitational Spanish-Muslim toponymic surname. The surname was derived from several cities and towns of Spain such as Medina del Campo, Medina de Pomar, Medina de Rioseco, Medinaceli, Medina-Sidonia and Medina de las Torres. The use of the term dates back to the Muslim rule of Al Andalus (8th–15th century) and it originates from the Arabic word madīnah (مَدِيْنَة) which means "city".
Spanish and Portuguese: habitational name from Vargas in Santander province, or a topographic name from vargas, plural of varga, a dialect term used in various senses: ‘(thatched) hut’, ‘steep slope’, or ‘fenced pastureland which becomes waterlogged in winter’.
Avery originated in the Middle Ages as a Norman-French pronunciation variation of the Anglo-Saxon name Alfred and the Ancient Germanic name Alberich. The elements aelf, meaning "elf" and ric, meaning "ruler" give Avery its meaning. While Avery is considered by many to be a surname name, it was a given name first. It was used as a patronymic surname when England began to require last names.
Sanford is an English language toponymic surname, deriving from numerous localities named for a sandy ford.

In Italia il riscaldamento globale è già un allarme, ma nessuno sembra accorgersene di DANIELE TEMPERA Una corsa contro il tempo per evitare il baratro. Entro il 2030 la temperatura del Pianeta non deve crescere di 2° rispetto all’era pre-industriale. È questo l’ambizioso obiettivo siglato a Parigi nel 2015, per limitare il surriscaldamento globale del Pianeta. Oltre quella soglia, avvertono gli scienziati, le conseguenze sarebbero irreversibili per tutti noi. Un monito che ha portato ad auspicare l’obiettivo (irrealistico) di limitare l’impatto addirittura a + 1.5°. E se queste sono le premesse, l’Italia sta già perdendo la sfida. Lo confermano i nuovi dati dell’ultimo rapporto Ispra sul clima. In particolare, prendendo come base la media delle temperature comprese tra 1961 e 1990 e quelle del 2018, l’Italia fa registrare un incremento di +1.71°. Siamo quasi un grado sopra il resto del globo dove la temperatura è aumentata poco meno di un grado centigrado (+0.98°). E in molti comuni italiani la situazione è anche peggiore. Lo evidenzia uno studio realizzato dall’European Data Journalism Network che ha tracciato l’evoluzione della temperature in tutti i comuni italiani mettendo in relazione il decennio compreso tra 1960 e 1969 e quello tra 2009 e 2018. In questo intervallo il termometro nelle province italiane è aumentato di + 2.15° dal 1960, mentre ci sono comuni in cui la temperatura è aumentata addirittura di oltre 4°. Sono le aree urbane quelle a soffrire maggiormente, in particolare Roma dove la temperatura è aumentata di +3.65° dal 1960, seguita da Milano (+3.34°) e Bari (+3.05°). Un fenomeno ben conosciuto, che presenta molti rischi: «Si chiama, tecnicamente, effetto ‘isola di calore’ – spiega Edoardo Zanchini- ed è legato essenzialmente a tre fattori. Il primo è l’impermeabilizzazione dei suoli: la cementificazione di strade e palazzi non permette più la traspirazione del suolo. Il secondo è che il cemento assorbe calore. La terza è che in città ci sono auto e soprattutto condizionatori che d’estate buttano aria calda, contribuendo in maniera determinante al surriscaldamento. La somma di questi tre fattori può portare a differenze di temperature anche di 3 o 4 gradi centigradi all’interno della stessa città. È una dinamica che ha anche enormi ripercussioni sociali: se si incrocia il dato climatico con quello socio-economico sulle aree più povere, si ottiene un quadro esatto delle zone dove in estate si riscontrano i tassi di maggiori mortalità, specialmente tra la popolazione anziana. Anche se non se ne parla spesso c’è un aumento della mortalità impressionante legati all’aumento delle ondate di calore». (...) E se queste sono le premesse c’è da registrare, anche in questo campo, la tragica arretratezza del nostro Paese, come sottolinea il vicepresidente di Legambiente: «Il nostro è l’unico paese europeo che non ha ancora un piano nazionale di adattamento al clima. Solo il comune di Bologna e quello di Milano hanno piani urbani di adattamento, ed è un ritardo che non ci possiamo più permettere».

Uyuni Salt Flat, Bolivia: Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat, or playa, at 10,582 square kilometres in area. It is in the Daniel Campos Province in Potosí in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes at an elevation of 3,656 m above sea level. The Salar was formed as a result of transformations between several prehistoric lakes that existed around forty thousand years ago but had all evaporated over time... Following rain, a thin layer of dead calm water transforms the flat into the world's largest mirror, 129 km across. Wikipedia
