So that's what those things are called...

I was curious what my lastname meant, so I asked help from our ever trustworthy friend - google, which directed me to wikipedia:

Lorica is a Latin word literally meaning body armour and may refer to one of the following:



Cool! I never knew those armors were called loricas. Ironically, I dislike (hate is such a strong word) watching movies with Roman warriors and such. Well... I dislike war movies. Period.

I also checked out the meaning of my real name. Surprisingly, it means "beloved" or "loved one" in French. I wonder if my parents knew that, or they just picked out a name that matches my sister's? My sister's name obviously means love. I never thought mine did, too.

Funny I've had this name for 23 years now, and I never knew its meaning (well... until now, thanks to my curiosity and google).
