My Name

     My first name is very different from normal names but last names on the other hand are quite common. My first name is made up of parts of my grandmas' names. Bri is from my grandma named Brenda, Ma is for my grandma named Maria, and Dy is for my great-grandma named Edelmira. The reason why my parents named me Brimady is because in Latin culture it is common to name your children after their parents or grandparents. My mom didn't want to continue on with that tradition because out of my entire family, my brother and I were the first ones to be born in the United States. So, instead of naming us after them or our grandparents they decided to combine their names and make a new one.
     I have two last names so they have a hyphen between them. The name right after Brimady is from my father's side of the family. There are many in the world with that surname so to different people it means something different. According to Google, my surname originated from Spain and it means "son of Ramiro". My other surname is also very common. It originated from Spain and is common in Spain, Portugal, parts of France, the Americas, and the Philippines. Google doesn't really say what it means though.
