and now for my name:

NIR SULLAM (hence nirsul..)

NIR:

Hebrew, pronounced as "near" but obviously without the accent you guys are mumbling right now...:-)

The meaning is agriculture related and means "a cultivated field" - now god has a joke on my account - 'agriculture related' but I am super alergic to everything green - so if you see me walking in a field - you will probably hear me sneezing like a tornado !

Why was I named that way - because it sounds nice and probably sounded nicer when I was born (37 years ago).


SULLAM

Hebrew, Means A LADDER - originated in the bible as in Jacob's Ladder , The name is dated to the time when Spanish jews were evicted from Spain some hundreds of years ago - as far as I know the family arrived at Venice, Italy and from there - to some other places in Europe and Egypt. The family had an emblem - two lions standing on both sides of ... a ladder..


Obviously as a child I was laughed at the surname.
