All politics aside and regardless of who you voted for! As a Linguistics professor, I though you might find it interesting to know that Vice-president elect, Kamala Harris's first name (Kamala) is the Sanskrit word for "Lotus." Sanskrit is the Classical language of India.

Well, that's cool. It's a shame that most of us are well past the age of producing offspring. Otherwise I could see a few forum members with new daughters named Kamala.

Time will tell.......hope not!

@ EuropaTC That acronym "Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious" would apply if she was a Republican but She's a Democrat so it's more like Lots Of Taxes Usually Significant. :)

I wanted to reply to this but was unable to come up with a clever, non-partisan response but I'm glad you all were able to.
Well done!

I agree!

Thanks Literary,
Isn’t Evija Arabic for “the first one”? Gone are the days of coming up with Lotus names in the pub!

@Bodzer The answer to you question is Yes and No! Evija is the Slavic language variant of the feminine name Eva or Eve (As in the "First Woman" Eve created in the Book of Genesis in the Bible). Eva comes from the Hebrew Chava/Hava (Hawa in Arabic) which means "To Breathe" or "Living" because of the Biblical Mythology claim that Eve was created from Adam's rib. Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic are all linguistic variants of the Semitic language family. I guess the metaphor would be that Lotus creating an electric hyper-car is equivalent to God creating the "First Woman." Well at least that seems more thought out than the Elise being named after Elisa Artioli (the grand-daughter of Romano Artioli) the presiding chairman of Lotus at the time the car was conceived.
@Dilkris Before becoming a College Professor, I was a musician who toured in 30+ countries. Hence my fascination with Languages. Actually played on a couple of hits that were big in the UK. The Photo was taken in the London office of Epic Records. I'm the guy kneeling on the floor with a panama hat.
