My name

My name is Joshua Michael Minick.  My names is quite interesting especially when you look up its meaning.  When I discovered my names meaning it was like bam my name is awesome. Joshua means "yahweh is salvation" which is pretty interesting. Joshua is derived from ancient Hebrew it is most notably found in the bible. Also Joshua's correct spelling is Yehoshua. Joshua is usually associated with religion. Joshua is most popular in Australia. Now on to my middle name Michael which is like the perfect middle name because it coencides with Joshua. Michaels meaning is "who is like god? Or of god". Michael originated in Hebrew,  also it is found in the bible. Michael is a very popular name in a number of countries. Now for the grand finale my last name Minick which is quite interesting,  but at the same time boring. Minick is an old German suraname.  Minick means carpenter,  which means whoever came up with the name was likely a carpenter.  So you can picture some guy shaping and crafting wood into different objects thinking hum Minick sounds like a good last name since I am a carpenter. Now that is why Joshua Michael Minick is like the best name ever.

    I liked the second to last sentence where you can picture a carpenter having your last name.
