RONEN

sounds like

RONIN

which in Japanese kanji is written as

浪人

which means 浪 (wave) 人 (man) which sounds like a megaman 2 villian but altogether means

‘Masterless Samurai’

Samurai have skills acquired in a clan, and so can generally only use them operating under clan structure (eg, enforcing the authority of the status quo).

The rare badass occurrence of a Samurai without a master (ala Toshiro Mifune in Akira Kurosawa’s classic Yojimbo) is called a Ronin.

It also sounds like

RONAN

Which in Gaelic means ‘seal baby’, which in french is said

‘phoque bébé’

which sounds like

‘fuck, baby!’

*(thanks S. for the tip-off on this!)

But my name, ‘Ronen’, is hebrew

רונן

and it means

‘a joy so exuberant, it becomes song’.

:)

My surname is

VERBIT

I haven’t found any implicit meaning in it beyond a small village in russia my great grandfather may have escaped from called ‘Verbitsky’.

But to me, it means

VERB IT

To verb something. To take a noun, and verb it— to modify the law of identity.

To take a ‘thing’, and turn it into an Action.

JOY. ACTION.

Ronen Verbit.

When you take the japanese writing of ‘Ronin’ and take the character for ‘man’ and flip it on its head, it looks like this:
