So, what’s in those names now?
Nimfa or nymph. In the Greek & Roman Mythology , a nymph is any of numerous minor deities represented as beautiful maidens inhabiting and sometimes personifying features of nature such as trees, waters, and mountains. In simple language, a nymph is a beautiful girl. (hmmmm……)
In biology though, a nymph is the larval form of certain insects, such as silverfish and grasshoppers, usually resembling the adult form but smaller and lacking fully developed wings. In this view, I would accept the Greek & Roman Mythology definition. (hahaha….)
Now, it’s time to face reality. At present, I am Dyosefina or Josefina. The name is a variant of Giuseppina (Italian, Hebrew) and Josephine (Hebrew), and the meaning of Josefina is “the Lord adds; Jehovah increases”. Wow!
But wait there’s more… What about the nicknames? Hmm…. people call me Jo which dictionary.com defines as a sweetheart or a beloved one. Closer friends though call me Ningning meaning alight, a shining light, a star.
So by being Nimfa, I am beautiful(hmmm..) and by being dyosefina (aka Josefina), I am being abundantly rich perhaps not in the material things that the world rewards but rich in people and friends who truly cares. I am Jo, a darling of everyone else… at the same time I am Ningning, someone to light your way.
So friends…. allow me to pay tribute to myself… hahaha!
