MY NAME IS.................

Recently I met two seafarers with the same name as mine!.......Ernst........Since my name is not very common I looked up the meaning of my name in the dictionary;  "It is often supposed that this means the same as the word
' earnest ' meaning serious ( or even humorless ) - this is a misconception. Ernest is a Germanic name. In modern German it is Ernst derived from the old High German word eornost  which means 'battle to the death' or
' serious business'! " The name is rare nowadays. Maybe the best known one is Ernest  Hemingway, the famous author.

On the pictures you see me with an Ernesto seafarer from The Philippines and with a German Ernst who's last name of all names is de Vries!!
