    I found this site that if you type in your name, you could find its origin and/or origin.

    http://www.behindthename.com/

    for me: Oswaldo: Derived from the Old English elements os "god" and weald "rule". Saint Oswald was a king of Northumbria who introduced Christianity to northeast England in the 7th century before being killed in battle. The name was occasionally used after the Norman conquest

    Joshua - From the Hebrew name יְהוֹשֻׁעַ (Yehoshu'a) which meant "YAHWEH is salvation". Joshua was one of the twelve spies sent into Canaan by Moses in the Old Testament. After Moses died Joshua succeeded him as leader of the Israelites. The name Jesus is derived from this name.

    Usage: English, French, Slovene, Polish, Russian, Dutch

    Other Scripts: Альберт (Russian)

    Pronounced: AL-burt (English), al-BER (French), AHL-bert (Polish) [key]
    From the Germanic name Adalbrecht which meant "bright nobility", composed of the elements adal "noble" and beraht "bright". It was introduced by the Normans to England, where it replaced the Old English cognate Æðelbeorht.

    This name, in its various forms, has belonged to kings of Belgium and Germany, as well as others among European royalty. Other famous bearers include the physicist Albert Einstein, creator of the theory of relativity, and Albert Camus, a French-Algerian writer and philosopher.
