Religion project story and link to exciting name-meanings

For my Religion project, I'm writing a short story about a Bible story.  The one I picked is the story of Jesus resurrecting Jairus's daughter.  She's one of four people he resurrected, including himself (the others are Lazarus, the widow's son, and Jairus's daughter).  I'm thinking of putting the story up on fanfiction.net when I finish and polish it.

The focus is the servant girl, Bina.  She's eighteen years old and works in Jairus's house - has for four years, since her previous family moved to Rome and kicked her out.  I'm trying to make it as authentic as possible.  Well, hopefully Pastor Williams won't notice all my names are about 2000 years off. [winky]  I took them from very minor characters mentioned in The Red Tent - which I'm making my mother read, by the way.

Anyway, Jairus's daughter is named Elisheva, though after she's resurrected her name will be changed to Serah Imnah.  Just because I like that name.  She has a brother named Eliphaz, and her mother is Hesia.  Bina has a crush on nineteen-year-old Jalam, who's a potter's apprentice, but she's afraid he'll never like her because she has acne.  Back to Elisheva/Serah Imnah - she's always been sick with this sort of cough, and then she comes down with a fever.  Jairus goes for Jesus, who brings along Peter, James, and John, as Mark said.  The scene I've been focused on since I started plotting the story out is when Jesus arrives at the house, and Bina’s watching, wondering which one’s Jesus – I think I’ll have her mistake James for him, because James has straighter hair and looks gentler.  And she’ll be all surprised when Jesus is pointed out, because he looks so ordinary and has scars and things from being a carpenter.  So Jesus does his thing, Elisheva comes back to life, and after he leaves Bina runs after him to think him - he touches her cheeks with his fingers, and poof!  Acne is gone.

Excellent link for looking up names and what they mean: Behind the Name.  I was astonished and delighted to read Elisheva is a form of Elizabeth.  Never would have guessed otherwise.

Sirius actually means "burning."  ...I love Ms. Rowling.  Bellatrix is "female warrior."  Andromeda = "to think of a man."  Narcissa actually means "sleep, numbness."  Regulus and Severus can't be found.  Lily is a symbol of purity.  Draco means nothing besides "dragon, serpent."  Hermione is derived from Hermes, who was the patron of travellers, writers, athletes, merchants, thieves and orators.  In Greek myth Hermione was the daughter of Menelaus and Helen. This was also the name of the wife of Leontes in Shakespeare's play 'The Winter's Tale'.

Lavinia: Meaning unknown, probably of Etruscan origin. In Roman legend Lavinia was the daughter of King Latinus, the wife of Aeneas, and the ancestor of the Roman people. According to the legend Aeneas named the town of Lavinium in honour of his wife.

Lovely site.
