avadacadaverda: about verda

I never really know what is the meaning of my name. But the grandfather of my old friend said that Verda Farida means "a primary heaven." So I tried to google to know what's the meaning of my name.

VERDA

The origin of the name verda is believed to be latin or spanish. And it means faith, truth, green, or spring green.

Wikipedia says faith is the confident belief or trust in the truth or trustworthiness of a person, concept or thing. And faith is thought from latin "fidem" or "fidēs", meaning trust.

Aristotle stated about truth:

"To say of what is that it is not, or of what is not that it is, is false, while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true."

And green is a colour. Green is seen as tranquil and refreshing, with a natural balance of cool and warm (blue and yellow). The word green is closely related to the old English verb growan, “to grow”. The colour of leaves, before withering. The colour of rice field before the harvest time. The colour of perlette. The colour of Kermit. The colour of heart chakra that will open to love more, empathise, and feel compassion. The colour of emerald, which is coloured green by its chromium content. The colour of hulk. And there's a variety of green called spring green. A green between cyan and green, coded #00FF7F. And yes, for me, the visualisation of a colour is different to each person. Thus, green is green. It is reminiscent of spring. The colour of a garden which is starting to bloom when spring comes. Fresh like springtime.
