      I'm sincerely sorry, I meant "having *been* taught", I'm definatly not a teacher...
      With that out of the way, in Greece we use the modern pronunciation while learning acnient greek, so it makes it somewhat more familiar for us, but sometimes a bit comfusing as the sounds of some letters are identical in modern greek.
      By the way, your prounciation of my surname wasn't perfect but good nonetheless, latinisation sometimes can be tricky.

    And now we have the fictional Chelsea van der Zee, antagonist of DreamWorks's latest film, _Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken,_ who, naturally, is exactly the kind of uppity snobby popular girl the name was previously associated with. And of top of that, being a mermaid, her name is a pun on the word "sea".
    (Also, her last name means "from the sea" in archaic Dutch.)

    As an American born in the late 80s, I've never associated wealth with the name Chelsea, actually the opposite. I'd put it more in the range of poor/working class to "new money". Idk that Chelsea Clinton had that much to do with the decline in popularity; more that Bill's campaign may have helped push a surge in 92. I think it just got too popular in the mid 80s- mid 90s, making it feel very much like a trend that has gone out of style. Chelsea is associated with names like Ashley, Brittany, Jessica, and Tiffany. All were extremely popular in mid/late 80s- early 90s, then relatively rare by the mid-late 90s. I went to a small rural low-income public school in the Midwest (~50 kids per grade level); there were 2-4 girls for each of those names in just my year

    It was weird hearing the New York Chelsea described as posh, because I grew up reading Spider-Man. Peter Parker lived in Chelsea mid-70s to mid-80s, and at that time it was a lower-class area, or at least the part he lived in. But I just looked it up and it does seem pretty wealthy nowadays.

    Canada has a fancy Chelsea as well - but I'm not sure one would call it posh. Ottawa, our capital city, is on the border with Gatineau in Québec. Head further north into the 'Gatineau Hills' and you'll find the small town of Chelsea. That's where so many of our ex-Ministers and business people live, and features giant high-end houses - mixed in with multi-million dollar log cabins. It's definitely marketed as a 'mountain getaway' from the city, but for those who can live there - it's just as fancy as the Chelsea in London or New York.

    Adam is etymologically related to the Hebrew word adom (ah-Dome), which means red, and also earth or soil. The soil in Israel is red because of the high amount of iron oxide. So the connotation of the name is "man of red earth".

    • @SamAronow
      @SamAronow Před 2 lety +2

      I suspect that adom comes from dam (blood). Most of the _really_ basic words are biliteral roots instead of triliteral, suggesting they go all the way back to Proto-Afroasiatic.
