[Facts] Correction: "rapper", & found your meaning...

The name "Shyheim" could be viewed as being a composite name of Germanic origin.

"Shy" forms the first part of many surnames, and comes from "Scheier" or "Scheiee", meaning: "one who came form the forest place".

"Heim" means "home" in German.

So, putting both elements together, the name "Shyheim" could conceivably mean: "one who comes from the home in the forest".

I think you're thinking of Loch (pronounced like lock in languages that don't have a "hard H" sound (as in the name Bach)). It means "lake" in Scottish and I think in Irish Gaelic, too, but that I'm not sure. Have to access my trusty English-Irish dictionary for that.

The Irish version is "lough".

Ups I was a bit too hasty there perhaps :)

I think you are right. I just spoke my mind before thinking I guess.
