It might help to know how you got your true name Pailani. How did you find out it was Sumarian / Samarian?

Pailani struck me as being Hawai'ian. don't know why, it just did. a search at alltheweb.com confirmed both the Indian and Hawai'ian usages.

Capfka,
I stand corrected. I was not aware that India was never a part of the Sumerian empire. The information that I have consists of the following where in during the 5th millennium B.C. people known as the Ubaidians established settlements in the region known later as Sumer; these settlements gradually developed into the chief Sumerian cities, namely Adab, Eridu, Isin, Kish, Kullab, Lagash, Larsa, Nippur, and Ur. Several centuries later, as the Ubaidian settlers prospered, Semites from Syrian and Arabian deserts began to infiltrate, both as peaceful immigrants and as raiders in a quest of booty. After about 3250 B.C., another people migrated from its homeland, located probably northeast of Mesopotamia, and began to intermarry with the native population. The newcomers, who became known as Sumerians, spoke an agglutinative language unrelated apparently to any other known language.
The information I had concerning India being a part of the empire was supplied to my via a professor of ancient history up at the local university. I do believe I will give him a call and have a discussion with him concerning this, hopefully I will leave with an understanding as to what his reasons behind his belief are.

This is what occurs when one attempts to catenate anything after being awake for almost 24 hours. Yes, my intention was to write Sumerian and not Samarian.
I appreciate your pointing that out to me.

My father was a historian as well as a scholar, it was he who named me and prior to his death he explained that it was the combination of two Sumerian words. Unfortunately I was entirely way too young to remember them, and I now have no way of asking him for he died in 1980 from a head injury. Thus, I find myself forging ahead blindly attempting to ascertain the meaning of it on my own. I have attempted to do this for some years, to no avail. Thus I find myself asking for any advice or assistance that may be given from the members of AWAD.

Etaoin,
I would love to be able to say that my name is Polynesian, more precisely originating from the Hawaiian islands,; unfortunately the correct spelling of the name in their language is Paloni with the meaning of Goddess of the Sea or Ocean. Thus, as you can see, it is not the same name.
Another distinguishing feature of my name is the vowel make up. It has a very distinct linguistic pronunciation, also making it difficult to locate the exact meaning or root(s) there of.
As for my name originating in India or there being a town in India with my name; the internet is notorious for having misspelt words. If you do a search on my name “pailani” it brings up a supposed city with my name, unfortunately the actual spelling of that city is “Pilani” which as you can see is not the same.
So in closing you can see that it would be easy to assume that it is of either language or origin.
