[Opinions] Re: Allira?
Thanks for that :) Aquila is Latin for eagle, so it looks like that mother got the wrong story somewhere along the line - they are similar, but not that similar lol. Classic "That's Life" non-facts :DI've heard the same Aboriginal meaning (daughter) and I've also seen a more specific relationship that we would call niece in English. It seems to be the consensus that it's a relationship description in an Aboriginal language anyway!

Yeah I often wonder weather or not Thats Life name section is legit or not. Theres alot of made-up names in it though.I'd consider using it if I knew the meaning was 100% legit.

As an aside, a friend once went on a wild goose chase thinking the name of an ancestor was Aquito. An "expert" on the Romanies whom she consulted through a genealogy magazine assured her that, yes, Aquito quite possibly pointed to a Romany ancestor. Bull****!!! It transpired much later that the modern Mormon Church member who had transcribed the ancestor's name misread it - and it was Aquilo, a masculine version of Aquila.

Aquila is also a masculine name. Aquilia and Aquilina were feminine forms that saw use in ancient Rome. (not saying Aquilo isn't a form just saying that Aquila is also a masculine form)
