#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #February16 #BirthdayCohort with @LeVarBurton & #iceT @FinalLevel & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #ElizabethPeratrovichDay | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar mostly explains 'Alaska's celebration of Elizabeth #Peratrovich' in a report linked through 'the hyperlinks' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The surname “Peratrovich (which is probably one of the many spelling-variations of #Petrovich---including #Petrov #Petroff #Petrakov #Petrachkov #Petrashkov #Petrashov #Petrischev #Petryashov #Petrunkin #Petraev #Petichev #Petruichev #Petinov #Petugin #Petyakov #Petyankin)” is built on ancient words that mean "|Descendant of Peter."
They call it "Elizabeth Peratrovich Day," but her premarriage-surname was #Wanamaker
(which might be important, as she's celebrated for her fight for Native Alaskan rights).
The surname "Wanamaker (or #Wannamaker #Wannaker etc.)" is built on an ancient name that means "Tenant of the Land of (Great- or Little) |Tey."
actually no, because a) Wanamaker comes from England & 2) her birth-parents
were unmarried, with surnames Paul & #Paddock.
The surname "Paddock" is built on the name of the Sussex village #Puttock, a name built on ancient words that mean Kite (Bird in the |Hawk family). The noun Paddock is built on either the ancient words that mean |Toad (Frog, |Tortoise) or the ancient words that mean "|Enclosed Space, |Fence" (Park ... especially a Small |Pasture near a Stable).
I sometimes get a little mind-spark from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that spark from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...

My Heart of the Nation calendar (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing) tells us that this day's a day for Green
