Essays About Your Name: Top 5 Examples and 6 Prompts

Every person’s name is special. Read the following essays about your name for examples and prompts to discover how you can create a thoughtful and personal piece.

Whether given or chosen, names have a powerful hold over each person. They can be curious mysteries, reminders of painful pasts, fond monikers, or personal treasures. Like our faintest scars and mental states, they also have deep histories ingrained into our very being. They can become means by which we trace our ancestors, create opportunities, or cherish our present situations. Your name is more than a means of calling your attention. It can convey an abstract idea of your personhood, experiences, and beliefs.

For example, what comes to mind when you hear the name Marilyn Monroe ? Most people think of the iconic blond bombshell from the 1950s to the early 1960s. Depending on how much you know about her, you may know her as a bright and determined woman or a sweet but ditzy character, which she often played in TV and film roles. Her name alone indicates her accolades, skills, and perceived personality.

5 Essay Examples

1. long essay on what’s in a name by prasanna, 2. the story of my name by rong xiaoqing, 3. the mystery of carl miller by sarah miller, 4. name and identity by jennifer wang, 5. call you by your name by roxanne krystalli, 1. the power of nicknames, 2. my unique and interesting name, 3. what it’s like being named after popular people, 4. why i chose this nickname, 5. cultural names and their meanings, 6. my name if i were from a different place.

“In a deep sense what creates the true meaning and power of a name is the worth of the individual or thing as reflected in the outer world.”

Prasanna divides her essay into three parts, explaining how people receive their names, how these monikers affect their identities, and how powerful names can be. The essay title was lifted from William Shakespeare’s “ Romeo and Juliet ,” reiterating Juliet’s profound line, “What’s in a name? What we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” This script refers to the reality that names’ importance is directly related to the unique qualities someone possesses.

“Those who read my name did not know how to pronounce it, and those who heard it did not know how to write it.”

Rong shares her struggles of being a Chinese American and the complications of her name. Her name contains two of the most complicated Chinese characters that she found difficult to write when she was young, plus it was hard to pronounce in English. However, when Rong learned the meaning of her name, she fell in love with it.

In the next section of her essay, she talks about instances where names are more than names, referring to cases such as a parent losing custody of their children for giving them Nazi names. Rong also includes relevant studies that connect names and race and the times people deliberately mispronounced her name to be cruel. She concludes that she’s still growing and has all the time in the world to learn more about herself.

“The last name Miller says nothing about me, but if pressed I would say I appreciate the way it evokes a beautiful neutrality, and the way it reminds me that all of us could so easily have been someone else.”

The author, Sarah Miller, only knows part of the story behind her ancestors. In her essay, she shares a few facts about her father’s birth and what she knew of her grandmother, then she recalls how she often asked about her grandfather, Carl Miller. The essay focuses on the author’s curiosity about Carl Miller and her emotional journey about accepting that she might never learn more about him.

“No others show me being stretched between two very different cultures and places—the ‘Jennifer’ clashing with the ‘Wang,’ the ‘Wang’ fighting with the ‘Jennifer.’”

In this short essay, Wang describes her internal confusion between her two cultures, disclosing how she struggles to be in the United States as a Chinese woman. She remembers how she wandered toy aisles looking for dolls with the same skin tone as hers and how she turned to shun her Asian heritage because she didn’t understand it. While the essay centers around Wang trying to introduce herself, her writing echoes the dilemma many young immigrants still face today.

“By the time I went to college, Roxani had been left behind. I was fully Roxanne by then, until one day my roommate beckoned: “Rooooox, do you want to watch an episode of something with me?” My father had an aversion to nicknames and never called me anything short of my full name: Roxani.”

Krystalli talks about how her name transitioned from the Greek Roxani to Roxanne to several other variations and then back again. She shares her life experiences and thoughts about these names as she grew up and gained new monikers. By the end of her essay, Krystalli tells the reader how she yearns to become Roxani again and reconnect with her Greek roots.

6 Prompts for Writing Essays About Your Name

Your nickname has a history that is as unique as yours. Nicknames are unpredictable and can sometimes be challenging to accept. For example, some children often pick nicknames based on their peer’s appearance, particularly if something stands out to them. However, nicknames can often be a sign of affection; naming someone with a nickname can be a way to show your friendship and close bond.

With this prompt, share how you dealt with any given nicknames you didn’t like. You can also speak about a short backstory of how others chose these nicknames. Explain your thoughts when you felt like you had no choice but to take other people’s nicknames for you. 

Whether your parents got creative in naming you or you chose a one-of-a-kind name for yourself, those with unique names share distinct experiences. For example, people may rarely pronounce or read it correctly. Others may have difficulty spelling your name when they need to write it down. 

In this prompt, share your experiences that connect to your unique name. Talk about the most interesting and memorable instances you remember and if you expect them to happen again.

If your parents are die-hard fans and decided to name you after their favorite book character, musician, or public figure, your name can feel like a borrowed one. Although some enjoy sharing names with well-known people, others would rather have a unique name. 

Delve into people’s reactions when they learn your name in your essay. Discuss how you’ve handled their jokes, or share the questions you already anticipate once they realize where your name came from.

Your name can change people’s perception of you, and choosing a nickname gives you control over that. This prompt is excellent if you have a nickname that has no connection with your given name. It’s also a great conversation starter. In your essay, explain why you chose that moniker and what it means to you. 

You can also add how people reacted before and after they learned the history of it. Your nickname doesn’t have to have a deep history. It can be as simple as earning the nickname “Cookie” because you like to eat cookies.

In some cultures, people still practice giving traditional names or nicknames to children, and you may belong to a culture that does the same. If you want to share this experience with your readers, discuss your name in this essay. Explain the language your name comes from, what it means, and why you received it. You can also give other examples, like the nicknames of your siblings, cousins, or ancestors.

Appreciation of another culture can push us to ponder what we’ll be called if we were from that group. If you’ve had an intense interest and appreciation for another culture or country, you may have already thought about how you want to be addressed. Share the name you chose, its meaning, and why you picked it. This also extends to fictional or fantasy worlds or cultures.

Present with purpose: How Prezi’s presentations activate and inspire audiences

Get your team on prezi – watch this on demand video.

Naba Ahmed July 20, 2023

We’ve all been there — someone starts to present and pulls up a linear slide deck full of bullet points. And we’ve all thought the same thing as a result: “Here’s another boring presentation that I have to sit through.” 

But with Prezi’s open canvas structure, you have endless possibilities for how you can share your message and inspire your audience. Prezi provides you with the creative freedom to create interactive, personalized presentations that enable you to bring yourself and your content to the stage. Learn how a few of our users have activated their audiences through Prezi presentations.

How to attract people using Prezi 

Jesus Zabaleta splits his time as an accountant with being the pastor of a small church in Montreal, with congregations from Colombia, Nicaragua, Honduras, Venezuela, and more. 

His team uses Prezi Video to primarily train people about the church’s vision and mission.

“People love Prezi here on our team because it’s so interactive,” Jesus said. “​​And Prezi has been really a blessing for us because people love the design, the color, the direction — everything about that.” 

Additionally, they use Prezi and Ecamm to stream on video conferencing platforms.

“It’s very, very, very important that people can see our faces while we are teaching,” Jesus said. “It’s so difficult to find another platform that gives us the opportunity to let people see who we are and see our content.”

Prezi — a time-saving presentation maker

Mi-Chelle Leong , who is currently the Head of the School of Communication and Languages at UOW Malaysia, uses Prezi to train other teachers, lecturers, and corporations, as well as to teach English to pre-university students.

Mi-Chelle used Prezi in 2017, then revisited Prezi during the pandemic and found Prezi Video, which has been very helpful for running her training and lessons, especially online. 

“When I first started using Prezi Video, my audience was very impressed with the way the presentation is done and how professional it looks,” Mi-Chelle said. “I can seamlessly integrate visuals into my presentation. I can easily captivate my audience with engaging content while maintaining a strong connection through face-to-face communication. With Prezi Video, my ideas are brought to life, and the lasting impact of my presentations ensures that my message will be remembered.”

For Mi-Chelle, the purpose of presenting is to send a message across. What you need to do first is capture your audience’s attention. The worst thing that could happen is for your audience to say, “Ah, just another boring presentation.” 

She shifted to Prezi because she wanted to be different, and she doesn’t need to take a lot of time to make a Prezi presentation that screams, “Wow, this is so great!” 

“Instead, I can put more time and thought into developing my content,” Mi-Chelle stated. “And I let Prezi do the rest of the magic.” 

When she uses Prezi, her students are more interested in what she’s trying to teach because she believes “one of Prezi’s principles is about storytelling and about using visuals to tell the story. My students will focus on me sharing my ideas rather than just reading the words on the slide.” 

For one professional development and leadership course, Mi-Chelle assigned students to use Prezi, either Video or Present, for their final project. 

“As the interface is user-friendly, my students could easily create interactive and dynamic presentations. When they presented their final project, they were able to elevate their speaking engagements with the audience. And that itself has helped my students to achieve one of the learning outcomes of the course.”

Bringing clinical research to life 

Based in South Africa, Charlé Steyl is a clinical researcher and anesthesiologist who began using Prezi Present in 2017 to share her research. 

During a lecture for her master’s program, she came across the tool and was so impressed that she decided to learn more because the storytelling aspect appealed to her. She’s found that Prezi is a much nicer way to tell a story, even if it’s a “boring academic story.”

Charlé is also involved in research projects where she looks at patient-reported outcomes after surgery and anesthesia, then presents them at National Congresses and research meetings.

“It just always looks good, flows nicely, and it’s a lot more intuitive for me as a presenter than something like PowerPoint.” 

For example, she created a presentation highlighting data about pregnant women and female researchers. Since it’s an academic story, she needs to show how important the data is, which Prezi enables because “it’s beautiful, it’s part of the storytelling, and it’s far more satisfying.” 

Charlé said that people have come up to her many a time after a presentation to ask how she made her slides because “it was so striking.” As an audience member, she said she also enjoys Prezi more than traditional PowerPoint presentations. 

How Prezi is the “purple cow,” or the most remarkable technology in presentation software 

In 2011, Dr. Vishal Marwah was invited to give a talk on design thinking. It was the night before his talk, and he had completed his 110-slide presentation. However, he wasn’t satisfied with it. 

At 9 p.m., he turned to Google and searched “How do you make your presentations more creative?” and that’s when he found Prezi. 

“It was such a simple tool that allowed me to zoom in and out, and create these cool effects,” Vishal said. “I was so impressed that I sat through the night and completely redid my presentation in Prezi.” 

“Prezi is like a purple cow. I feel like Prezi gives me that edge where I’m able to not just educate the audience, but entertain them and provide an immersive experience.” 

Vishal is a physician, entrepreneur, and startup coach, and has run an organization called the Nutritionist Entrepreneurship Program for the last seven years. They’ve trained close to 3K+ nutritionists to help them start their own businesses to become financially independent. 

Vishal was a physician and then worked in global health at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. There, he was experimenting with the model of health promotion and disease prevention, and he figured out that other doctors and nutritionists struggled with business skills, leading him to create the program. 

In 2020, he rediscovered Prezi, specifically Prezi Video, which he uses regularly for sales webinars and meetings. And above all, he loves that he can create a connection with his audience — “the feature where I can insert myself in the presentation is magical!”
