Behind My Name: Mateen

Before I started this assignment, I thought my name was Quick and Fast, because As a child i have always been hyper and i thought my name represented me, turns out i was wrong.
I think my parents chose this name for me because my sisters name begins with a M and my dogs name also begins with an M, I think my parents like the letter M!

After searching on Behind the Name I learned that my name means Powerful in arabic and Calm in persian ( I am persian ).

Some other interesting things I learned are that there is a basketball player named after me! His name is Mateen Cleaves Here is a picture:



Though he looks nothing like me, he has the same name

Also there are alot of companies using my name:


www.MateenAppstore.com
http://mateengreenway.com/
http://www.mateenexpress.com/
http://www.mateenent.com/


And Alot more!
I think my name does  suit me because Mateen is a quick and easy name to say (im guessing) I like how it sounds and it sort of sounds calming.

If I could give myself a new name, it would be Shady Swagga , because Slim Shady (Eminem/Marshal Mathers) Is the best rapper alive!

Hi Mateen,

This is a great post! I think it's funny that your parents are such big fans of "M" names.

Make sure that you are capitalizing "I" when writing about yourself, as it is a proper noun.
