Dear Jiayi, it was so great to get your reply.

Thank you for telling me such an interesting story about your name.

My mom and dad had an equal share in naming me Elizabeth Casas Smith.

My first name, Elizabeth, came from my great grandmother on my father's side, in memory of her.

It's a biblical name which means "God's promise".

Many English names have meanings that come from the Bible, like David and Sarah.

My family usually call me Liz, which is short for Elizabeth.

My middle name, Casas, is my mother's maiden name.

My family name, Smith, is one of the most common English family names.

So one of my ancestors probably worked as a blacksmith a long time ago.

My parents always joke that my name means "God promises me a house made by a blacksmith".

I don't think I want to live in a house made of iron, though.

would you go to a fortune teller for your baby's name?
