One Of The Nicest Gifts!

A friend of mine gave me a lovely gift today! They gave me the meaning of my name. I had helped out with something, so this friend of mine knew that blue is my favourite colour and I love dolphins and so not only did they give me the meaning of my name but they had a background with the sea and dolphins added to it and framed!
I am not certain where the information on my name came from but this is what is said on my gift:
" "Catherine"
Origin: Greek
Meaning: Pure Maiden
"With her you feel confident. Speaks words of wisdom. Her kindness is valued. She is a good listener. She's the rainbow in life's storm. One who moves ever forward. A woman of note. A truly astonishing person." "
Now, I don't know how accurate that all is. I have a temper. I am more storm than rainbow, I think. I can't claim wisdom. But I can say that this is one of the nicest gifts I have been given and I will keep it throughout my life! Do you know the meaning of your name? What is one of the nicest gifts you have been given?

@TiarasOceanView , you're welcome, it is good you're feeling a tad bit better today, I hope as the day goes on you feel even better. If I could I would bring you a cuppa and some cake, dear OT, but I can't, so I send you hugs! And I hope you'll have a good day.

My name, Jeff, means "God's peace," and is of old English origin.
So I have a question for you...are you a pure maiden? haha
And I want you to know that I have not felt the wrath of your temper yet here on myLot. But I'm sure it'll happen someday!

That is a lovely meaning .
Why now, Jeff, I never, that is private and confidential information, you know. Haha!
You just missed all the ones where I vented and talked about chewing steele and spitting bullets, is all. 
Oh, yeah, I'm sure it'll happen too!

I had to enlarge your gift to read it, before I read your discussion. I, for one, think it describes you to a tee and is a perfect gift! It is worth treasuring for life. I do know the meaning of my name, but my most precious gifts are my family.

@FayeHazel , same here. Especially when it leads to sleepless nights because people think they can take advantage of that niceness...

That was a very thoughtful item @bluesa
One of the nicest things given to me is a collectors dish from a friend who was entering an assisted living. She did not have room for such items and did not want certain things to go to strangers. It is actually something she purchased on a trip to Ireland and very pretty.
