Jacoba & Adriana: 'names-2'

Jacoba Adriana & Adriana,


The birthnames of my Mom (81) are Jacoba-Adriana,
in short is she's called Co...
And the birthname of my sister (52) is Adriana.

( C) Black-white portraits,by jw-nl)
My mom Co and sister Adriana, both live nearby each other in Leidschendam, wich is very near Voorburg and The Hague. They have both the same kind of interests like: very creatif and therefore "look-a-like". Thy have in comment that they make very well their own/also for others, by theirself sewed and designed clothes. My mother always made our clothes when we were youngh, gosh did I hated that! I wanted 'clotes like everybody else "out of the store". Its reasonable that my mom became very sad after my dad died in december 2003, but she's doing much better now. She started again with sewing clothes and making cards and chains. My sister went further (as my mom) into designing clothes, she followed a study, now she's a professional. Adriana got very recent her 4th (and final) degree in Coupeuse, with that degree she can become a teacher in designing clothes , this study is a very difficult parttime study. She told me once, that she had to design & make proofclothes on scale. (first by drawing after taking the precize body- sizes!) Every week different kinds/styles of clothes. Imagine that she's having a busy family-life too , like a teenager-boy , and her husband is having his own bussines (CD shop in rockstyle in The Hague). But she did it. Anyway both; my mom and sister are very creatif persons.
Of course I looked up the meaning of their both names: A free translation/meaning of Jacoba or Co is;
The cheater, the fooler. (Dutch 'De foppende'). Also was Jacoba van Settesoli, in the same time as Franciscus van Assisi ( from Italy), she followed him and was the first member of the zgn. 3th Orde van Franciscus, also a saint. Jacoba is the female form of Jacob. Than Jacob: out of the bible: Hebr. "ja'aqob", an onsure meaning, but 1 of the 2 sons of Isaak , (Jacob and Esau) in that story the name 'Jacob" means: "took the sole" (Dutch:`hij greep de hiel). Or in other words; Jacob took the 1th birth-rights of his brother Esau. (Dutch:hij verdrong zijn broer, een bedrieger') (Gen. 25). The Greek form of Jacob became " Jakobos' and out of that name came the Latin name" Jacobus", also "Jacomus".

The second name of my mom and my sister is Adriana: Well his name is coming from the male form:" Adrianus". Adriana means "Coming from Adria". I could not find anything more of the name "Adriana" , sorry I would like to find more but couldn't. Perhaps is coming from names like 'Aaltje' , but it goes too far to look that up.

Be continued soon.......
With the name of my "Bert the Sweetest"...
