Not too fast, please.
"You are yours."
All of you call me Zena.
Yes, my name is Zena.
When I say my name, many people ask me. "Your name is justlike English name." or "Do you have chinese characters?" "Have you been in America?"
I'm going to tell about my name.
First, I've never been in America.
Second, I don't have chinese characters. Third, my name is Korean word.
When my elder brother was born 12 years ago. My father went to the huge bookstore in Seoul. He picked up several names in the very thick Korean dictionary. My father and mother talked to each other all day long for the best choice. At last my brother have a name, and the others in list was forgot.
Two years later, I was born. Again my parents talked to each other for a long time. Suddenly my mother got a idea. She remembered to have a naming list two years ago.
She found the list, and choosed the one. That is my name, Zena.
What does my name mean?
Zena means, "I as is my own thing" in Korean. You can find the word in Korean dictionary.
My parents said to me, "You are yours. Be a owner in your life like your name." I heard that Zena is in English name, too. There is a TV series titled 'Xena:warrior princess' I like it. Of course I don't want to be a warrior. But I don't want to be a princess either, want to be a powerful woman as a owner in my life.
I thank my father and mother for giving me a good name.
My mom told the joke, when I were inside her, she was waiting to meet me '이제나 저제나'(Yi jena jeojena=all the time). So '이제나 저제나' became '김제나(Kim zena).
Also, she always says to me, "I love Kim zena '언제나'('un jena' which means forever."
Thank you for listening my naming story.
