Uniqueness and Significance of My Name in My Life

How is your name pronounced? My name is pronounced (sue-ree-yaa). People in high school called me Sure ya because that’s how it’s spelled and that nickname has been stuck with me for four to five years now. What is the true meaning of your name? The website, “Names List”, states, “Sureya has the potential to attain power and authority in their life”. I learn new things every day and this was one of them. The name Sureya Feyzul comes from Turkey and Russia and is unique and meaningful.

My background has influenced my name and created the person I am to this day. Did you know Sureya in some other languages means god, goddess, and, also a star? Till this day I’m learning more and more about my culture and where my name came from. Sureya, is originally from Turkey and mostly used there but in some of the research I’ve been doing says that the name Sureya is also from Australia. I was born in Russia that’s why I have a Russian last name because some of my ancestors are Russian and Feyzul which got carried to my dad but my whole family is Turkish. People think my background and where I got my name is weird but I think it’s pretty cool and interesting that I have both a Turkish and Russian name. I’ve never been ashamed of who I am and where I came from. Nothing will change that fact. I’m proud to be Sureya Feyzul.

There are some interesting facts about Sureya. For example, Most Sureya’s are very skilled and efficient. Also, they enjoy working hard and completing their goals. Something I found funny was that most Sureya’s are very stubborn and that’s pretty accurate in my situation. My zodiac sign is Aquarius. What that tells about me is that Aquarius’s loves power and leadership. I am more compatible with Libra, Sagittarius, Gemini, and Aries. Sureya’s are the most loyal and they dislike changes. The name Sureya is also used for males but it is actually a feminine name and its mostly used by females. The website, “Babynology”, states, “People with the name Sureya are bold and materialistic but rigid too. They are religious, efficient, trustworthy, and compassionate.” You can trust me with anything and rely on me and I will never judge you for anything. I love to be bold and straight up with people and that’s one thing I really like about myself.

My name, Sureya completes who I am. I am just a random girl that has been living in America for 14 plus years. I came from Russia, but I am originally Turkish. Many people already know I’m foreign by the way I look and the way my accent slips out at some points. I am more of an Americanized Sureya. My personality and looks fits into what a Sureya looks like. I can’t imagine myself being and looking different than right now. I suit and define myself from the way I speak and look. Sahra, did you know that name was my mom’s second choice? I do not see myself as a Sahra. Most Sahras are the exact opposite of me. Good thing they went with their first choice. Sureya’s are easily able to make friends. Most of Sureya’s are not shy. We tend to like to work independently because we think we can do better if we’re alone. The Website “Babynology”, says, “People with the name Sureya can be quite ambitious, self-confident, determined, and self-reliant and have a strong unyielding willpower and the courage of their convictions.” If you’re going to depend on someone come to me because I won’t ever let you down. I am Sureya and my name completes me perfectly.

My last name has an interesting meaning as well. Some of Feyzul’s abilities are that it has power of concentration and excellent memory. I know everyone loves freedom, but Feyzul has extra love for it. If you try to limit Feyzul’s independence they will get kicked out of his/her life. Also, in some countries Feyzul is actually used as a first name, but in my case it’s my last name. Marcia Layton and Robbi Hess, the authors of The Complete Idiots Guide, said, “An ironic feature of our name is that it says more about our parents and the period when we were born than it does about us”. I agree because Feyzul isn’t a common name in United States. Do you know how old Feyzul is? Feyzul was first used 6832 Years ago. The name Feyzul is most relevant in Russia and Turkey. Its highest destiny is in Bulgaria.

To conclude the essay, the name Sureya Feyzul comes from Turkey and Russia and is unique and meaningful. I’ve learned so much about my name that I didn’t even know about. Who knew Sureya was also an Austrialian name? I didn’t. Clara Moskowitz, the author of “Baby Names Reveal More About Parents Than Ever Before”, stated, “Statistics show the diversification of baby names began in 1960s, at the same time that Americans started placing more emphasis on individuality and less on collectivity and fitting in”. Isn’t it weird how we fit into our names and let our name just represent who we are? We are who we want to be and I want to be Sureya Feyzul and I wouldn’t change that for anything.
