This is complicated for me. My first name is Tina, just plain and simple, but for finding meanings, I usually have to use the extented version which isn't my birth name. Go figure, huh?

Tina is Latin for little one. Whereas Christina (the name I normally look up for these kind of things) means christian or follower of christ.

Mae is ancient greek for pearl. But it can also be a varient of May, derived from the name of the month of May, which derives from Maia, the name of a Roman goddess. May is also another name of the hawthorn flower. From Mavis, the name of the type of bird, also called the song thrush, ultimately derived from Old French. In the spring it migrates to Scotland where it is said to be the harbinger of spring. From Mabel, which means Loveable or just another female varient for Matthew which means Gift of God.

Young is interpeted two different ways. In Korean it means Forever or Prosperity. In English it means the opposite of old.

When put together, my name can mean literally Little pearl of prosperity or young little pearl. However, I've always been told my full name means a loveable young christian. frankly I like both. Although if you ask my mom, she says that mae is from her name Mary and that my name should mean a bitter young christian. she thinks it's a good joke. i'm never going to live down my mood swings as a teenager.

GREGORIO: Italian and Spanish form of GREGORY

I would have to go with the Spanish side, since the Spaniards used to rule the Philippines, and I'm Filipino

GREGORY: From the Latin Gregorius, which was from the late Greek name Γρηγοριος (Gregorios), which was derived from γρηγορος (gregoros) meaning "watchful, alert". This was the name of several saints including three Fathers of the Church: Saint Gregory Thaumaturgus (3rd century), Saint Gregory of Nyssa, and Saint Gregory of Nazianzus (both 4th century). This was also the name of 16 popes, including Gregory I, who was known as Gregory the Great.

I tend to make sure that everything is correct
"After all these years, you know it's not about control. It's about trying to do everything I can. And for you, it's about setting an example. Everyone looks up to you. They listen to you. If you tell them to fight, they'll fight. But they need to be inspired, and let's face it, 'Superman'...the last time you really inspired anyone... was when you were dead." -- Batman, to Superman, Infinite Crisis, issue 1

For Qualyn, all I'm finding is that it's a suffix to a name that means ally, caller, and/or kin.
