Ok. I've always known that my name, Ram, was based on Rama/Ramachandra, a character from Hindu mythology. I also knew that my middle name, Lama, translated to mean spiritual teacher. What I've discovered tonight, though, is that rama also supposedly translates from sanskrit as an adjective to mean 'dark' or 'black'.

This means that one potential literal translation of my name might be "dark spiritual teacher".
