What’s In A Name?
My name is David Gene Norton. A name given to me by my parents.
David comes from the Hebrew name meaning “beloved”. David was the second and greatest of the kings of Israel, ruling in the 10th century BC.
David has been used in Britain since the Middle Ages. It has been especially popular in Wales, where it is used in honour of the 5th-century patron saint of Wales , as well as in Scotland, where it was borne by two kings.
Gene- Is the middle name of my father so it has been passed down.
