My given name (Hale) comes from my dad’s middle name. If one traces names back my name is either a first, middle, or last name. No one really knows where it originates from. However there is thought that the names was passed down from Nathan Hale, a famous American spy during the revolutionary war. He gave the revolution a lot of information and was eventually hung by the British.
As for country of origin, I know that my father's side was from Sweden and Germany, but no one is completely sure of when they came over. My mother's side I know came from England and Germany to Pennsylvania. Eventually they moved to Chicago and Winnetka. My family has also always been Christian as long as you trace back my family.

  1. I find it interesting that your name originally came from a last name and how it's thought that your name was passed down from Nathan Hale. My family has always been Christian as well, specifically Catholic.
