I love names that have meaning. My chosen forename is my goal and my affirmation; my name is my identity, my purpose, my history, it is an expression of self definition, it is spoken blessings and is also reflective of prophetic wisdom. I believe that surnames should explain your family history, your spiritual goal and bloodline. My full name used to be my chosen mantra when I was Theravada Buddhist, Zen Buddhist and Hindu. Although then an Atheist I chose my name because I wanted “A Peaceful Spiritual union with the Holy Spirit” and that is the full meaning of my name! My name is an affirmation of peace. My name means “Heaven’s Peace” “I inherit peace” “I affirm and believe in Peace” “I affirm peace, patient enduring forgiveness, Spirit of peace, essence of peace ”  “True genuine peace, justice and discipline. Holy Peace, Holy Truth and Holy Love.” True Saint, True Love, Saint of Love and True Peace.

Christianity gives you True Peace of Mind and Spirit.

The History Of My Name Manashantii  Friday 7th June 2013. Manashantii

In late 1991 until the late period of the year of 1993 I Manashantii meditated (without facing idols) for a new name. I wanted a name that I can Spiritually and Psychologically grow into, and the name had to affirm my being, my goals and my purpose, renewing names. In late 1992 I chose to use the words Manashantii as my forename and started to use the name Manashantii.  In June 1995 I officially changed my name by Deed poll to Manashantii. I created the name Manashantii which are two words after personally studying some Sanskrit and Hindi. I chose the name because of the meanings and also because it could have been a Ghanaian Ashanti name. I happen to be part Ghanaian.

In India they have the name Shanti for a girl which means Holy, Saint, Patience, Peace, quiet and silence. Manashantii’s name is not Manshant, Manshanti, Manashanthi, Manassanthi, Manahshanti, although it is the same meaning as Manashantii.

Neither is my name Shanto, Shantu,  Santu, Shanti, Shanthi, Shantee, Santee, Santi, Santhi, Shant, Shanta or Santa although it is the same meaning as Shantii.

Manashantii recently discovered that Manashanti is a popular girls name in Kerala which is in the South West of India. She is also aware that there was an Indian film called Manashanthi made in 1969, she has never seen the film.

In Ghana they have the name Nana Ashanti or Nana Asante, Nana which means Prince or Princess of Ashanti tribe, but this is not Manashantii’s name. In Ghana they have the name Mana Ashanti, Mana Asante in Ghana Mana means fourth born girl child and Ashanti is a Ghanaian tribe and is used as a name but neither of these are her name or the meaning of Manashantii. Manashantii is first born and the only child created together by her mother and father. Manashantii does have sixteen paternal half siblings and one maternal half-sibling.

Manashantii really loves Asian culture as she believes that there are similarities in African and Asian cultures. Manashantii used to be a mantra that she made up which she used to chant when meditating without idols facing a blank wall; to connect with her true core being (her oneness of self) and to be in union with God.

Thank you for reading this.
