The meaning of Indiana and Maya

I got tag by CHANEL about the meaning of my dds names

INDIANA CHIARA ( Zhang Shen Er)
The girl's name Indiana \i-ndia-na, in-diana\ is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "from India". Also the name of the Middle Western state.


Indiana name didn't even exist before in baby names book. Just recently it was added to it.
We choose it because:
It is unique, It has the same pronunciations in English and Italian or Indonesian.(it will help our parents to say the name correctly and easily )
And it kind of remind us of Indiana Jones LOL , full of adventure. And Indy is adventurous!
It mean that someone come from India (Italian meaning) or The Indiana states in USA.
Other reason is : because it mean for us : INDONESIA ( ME) AND ITALIANA ( HUBBY) = INDIANA

Chiara (KEE- Ya - Ra) means clear, and bright in Italian. We like the name and like the meaning too.

Her Chinese name is Zhang Shen Er. Even tough my hubby is Italian, but I'm Indonesian Chinese, and would love to have my children inherit Chinese name. So she got my Chinese Surname (ZHANG)
Shen= Shen is the other meaning of Shanghai. She was born in Shanghai.
Er= kid. So her Chinese name is quite obvious : Shanghai kid. (born in Shanghai haha)

My second baby is MAYA ANGELA (Zhang Mei Ya)

Maya

Sanskrit: Illusion, fantasy or God's power; also a variant of Maia

My hubby woke up one morning(when I was still pregnant with Maya), and then he said , ok we name our second baby MAYA.
Just like that. Don't ask me why. We had argue for names that we want, I want to name her Dakota( Indiana- Dakota? LOL) but he said nooo way....
So we decided on Maya, i like the meaning too: God's power!
I like it , it sound simple and sweet(just like Maya her self!:D)
Angela = is the name of my hubby grand mother ( she is 84 years old this year) she's been going through a lot and she is an incredible woman and we like to name our daughter after her.

Her Chinese name is
Zhang Mei Ya
Same like Indy she got my Chinese surname,Zhang
Mei is from beautiful
Ya is from YA BI( kota kinabalu in Chinese is YA BI) so I added a woman character beside the YA. So her name is beautiful KK (LOL) as to remember she was born in Kota Kinabalu.
And Mei Ya is Rhyming with MAYA.
Simple
