Help[Facts] Re: Awahtok (m) and Equrk (f)
in reply to a message by familymystery
Dear Mis Claire:
You do have an intriquing conundrum here. I love this kind of challege. So glad you brought these names up.
I agree with another post these names do sound Native American but, I do not think they are, since these relatives were third and forth generational Polish people living in England in the 1800's.
It is possible that these names may have been a "pet name". My family have a history of not using there given names but, there pet names around home and friends.
They may be the name of a small village in or some country near Poland from the previous generations of where your family hailed from,
and perhaps it disappeared when hitler was on the rampage. It may be your families orginating country was Italy or some country near or affliated with it.
My sister-in-law has the surname "Martinelli". Her father and all his family were Austrian during the times hitler's rampage through Europe. They lived in a very small farming village and depending on where a family lived in that village they were required to change/adopt the family names and language to either Austrian or Italian, and it happened that his family were forced to change their names to Italian ones.
I am almost sure I have heard these names spoken somewhere but, I cannot remember where or by whom, but they are not names associated with my family. Probably in some old books I have read or studied at over the years, I have had a ministry of helps connected with names and their prophetic meanings (I am a Messianic Hebrew)since about 1980. Since those names were christen names I am positive they do have a simular meaning as the called names your family members were known by in that South England community. Most contributorily, Awatok and Equrk are what they were called by their family and friends, and their orgins are from Poland via some generational changes out of Italia.
This is the best meaning I have to give you about them, in my considerations and at least a partial (very small) prophesy God is proclaiming and talking about in their use:
Awahtok - Arrow; this is a name associated with Arthur, that is associated with Aaron - Lamps and Er - light. Pslam 119:105 "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet, and the lights along my pathways." & 2Timothy 3:16 "Every word of the scriptures is literally God's Spirit Breathing and is priceless for your learning truth, for your personal convictions of your sinful state of being, as your instrument in discipline so that you can correct your own faults and failings and the only good trainning tool by which you can know how to live rightly; God gives His Words to people so that any one who will belong to Him will be fully equipted to do every good work He sets them out to complete".
Equrk - Pointer,whip, goad or tine or fail (like on a thresher or whinnowing device or on a windmill or weather vane). This name is associated with the name Euella - lioness or Olenia - olive tree.
Proverb 2:1-5 "My son, if you will recieve my words and store my commandments inside your heart, you will be paying attention to wisdom and keeping your mind tuned towards understanding - yes, if you will call for insight and raise your voice for discernment, if you will seek for these treasures like as you might for silver and keep searching for these attributes as if they were a valuable treasury hidden away - then you will understand what it means to be awed by the Lord and so find the knowledge of God." and Romans 12: 1 - 2 "I exhort you, because of all I've shared before this, my kinsmen, since you are being seen by God through His Eyes of mercies(Jesus The Messiah), to offer your own self as that sacrifice which is still alive, living as a vessel set apart for The Lord's Name's Sake. These acts of obediance are what gives Him great Joy and Pleasure; and is the normal, logical outworking of His Worship in your own heart and through your regular living. Do not allow yourself to be squeezed into a mold any person or the world says you must fit into, but do instead allow The Word of God to workout from inside your being by turning your mind to Jesus and His Words that your thinking be continually experiencing His metamorphosizing Power by His Spirit's renewal and regeneration; for God is at work always doing these very things so that you not only will know what He expects from you but you will also agree with Him in what He is doing and that it is good and totally satisfying to you too, because you do acknowledge God in all yours ways and that He is helping you to be completely successful in your life for His Name's Sake."
I really do not quite get it but, these are very interesting names indeed. Just doing this simple study for those names has encouraged me more in my Christian life.
I hope and pray I've been able to be some small help to you Miss Claire.
Thank you in Jesus - Ms. OneWay
