Winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize, a lyrical meditation on family, place, and inheritance Names for Light traverses time and memory to weigh three generations of a family’s history against a painful inheritance of postcolonial violence and racism. In spare, lyric paragraphs framed by white space, Thirii Myo Kyaw Myint explores home, belonging, and identity by revisiting the cities in which her parents and grandparents lived. As she makes inquiries into their stories, she intertwines oral narratives with the official and mythic histories of Myanmar. But while her family’s stories move into the present, her own story—that of a writer seeking to understand who she is—moves into the past, until both converge at the end of the book. Born in Myanmar and raised in Bangkok and San Jose, Myint finds that she does not have typical memories of arriving in the United States; instead, she is haunted by what she cannot remember. By the silences lingering around what is spoken. By a chain of deaths in her family line, especially that of her older brother as a child. For Myint, absence is felt as strongly as presence. And, as she comes to understand, naming those absences, finding words for the unsaid, means discovering how those who have come before have shaped her life. Names for Light is a moving chronicle of the passage of time, of the long shadow of colonialism, and of a writer coming into her own as she reckons with her family’s legacy.

The idea behind this book came from watching countless parents struggle to find the “right” name—something not too common, yet not so unusual that it becomes unrelatable; something meaningful, but also easy to pronounce across cultures and languages; something spiritual, but also timeless and fitting for today’s generation. Choosing a name in the Hindu tradition is often influenced by astrology, religion, family expectations, linguistic beauty, and even numerology. Yet despite so many considerations, what every parent truly seeks is a name that feels “just right”—a name that instantly speaks to the heart. This book is created to support that journey of discovery. We understand that choosing the right name can feel overwhelming at times, but we want to assure you that you’re not alone. Sacred Starts is here to guide you with clarity, warmth, and careful research. Every name in this book has been handpicked with thoughtfulness, and wherever applicable, we’ve included meanings, origins, and contextual references so you can understand the story each name carries. These names are not just labels—they are carriers of tradition, emotion, and identity. We also believe that there's nothing wrong with wanting your child to have a name that stands out. A name can be a quiet whisper of uniqueness, a gentle mark of individuality in a crowd. Originality in naming is not about being odd—it’s about being authentic. And authenticity requires attention, care, and yes, sometimes a little extra research. That’s why this book goes beyond the usual and brings you a carefully curated blend of both classic and contemporary Hindu baby names.

This unique collection of essays, published together for the first time, not only elucidates the complexity of ancient Greek thought, but also reveals Karl Popper's engagement with Presocratic philosophy and the enlightenment he experienced in his reading of Parmenides. As Karl Popper himself states himself in his introduction, he was inspired to write about Presocratic philosophy for two reasons - firstly to illustrate the thesis that all history is the history of problem situations and secondly, to show the greatness of the early Greek philosophers, who gave Europe its philosophy, its science and its humanism.

Inside this book, you will find names for boys, girls, and gender-neutral options. Each name includes its origin, meaning, and helpful pronunciation tips where needed. Some names are inspired by nature—like River, Sky, or Willow. Others come from history and literature, such as Lincoln, Maya, or Juliet. Some names carry deep meanings, like Grace, Justice, or Zion. Many are simply chosen because they sound beautiful or feel just right. We’ve also included tips to help you think about things like how a name sounds with your last name, possible nicknames, initials, and meanings that might matter to you. Maybe you want a name that honors a family member, or perhaps you want something fresh and new. Maybe you love short names, or names with strong meanings, or names that remind you of your favorite place or song. No matter what you're looking for, this book is made to inspire and guide you on your naming journey. Names can carry hopes, dreams, and values. They can honor where we come from or point toward who we hope to become. A name can be gentle or bold, traditional or trendy, simple or full of flair. In America, names are a place where tradition and imagination meet. There’s no one right way to name a child—only the name that feels right to you and your family.
