    Emma

    Charles

    Lebron

    Once upon a time…this name came to be. These personalized art prints celebrate the singular stories of the names’ remarkable journey through history, featuring a detailed account of the names’ origin, meaning and how they managed to survive the test of time. The descriptive words at the bottom of the name’s print reflect the spirit and energy of its “Destiny Number” according to numerology.

    Whether this name is a newborn, teen, or grown-up, a family member, friend, teacher, co-worker or any special someone, each story is an inspirational reminder of him or her core identity: the name, that one wonderful word by which he or she is known.

    As a gift or keepsake to honor and inspire the person in your life, Name Stories art print makes for smart, engaging and distinctive décor. Combining typography with artistic expression, the original content is a result of years of rigorous research and carefully curated pieces of history. Every story they tell, they tell with love.

    Framed and unframed artwork is made to order in Name Stories California and Oregon facilities. Art prints are professionally printed on heavyweight fine art paper with archival inks for vibrant long-lasting color, clear text and crisp imagery.

    Each solid wood frame is handcrafted and available in smooth matte black and soft matte white painted finishes. With a buffered acid-free mat and backing to beautifully showcase your art, framing-grade acrylic glazing filters UV rays for protection and longevity. Frame is finished with a dust cover, wall bumpers and wire ready for hanging!

    Your story starts with your name, and your name belongs to you in more ways than you know. We have made it our mission @ namestories to spread the meaning and magic contained in that one curious word by which you are known: your name.

    Your name, even when shared by scores of others, is your own private one-word poem. It contains multitudes, and it cannot be defined by its meaning alone, but by the spirit it gains through its historic evolution.

    Name Stories mine and explore the essence of names through rigorous research that traces their linguistic origins, meanings, context and relevancy through time. Part science, part art, their process is intense, scholarly, and driven by their insatiable passion for the curious words human beings call themselves. After all, every name is full of life. Telling its story keeps it alive, and helps them learn not just about each other, but ourselves.

    Name Stories products celebrate the essence of the identities by showcasing namely narratives in a beautiful, artistic rendering that’s worthy of being treasured for generations. Each represents years of study and countless travels through history as Name Stories trace names that span time and geography, from Judeo-Christian narratives in the Old and New Testaments, to the incredible survival of Celtic and Slavic names, to the spread of Germanic names and the historical context of names of Arabic and Sanskrit origins. The work has taught that nothing about a name is accidental. Their significance and survival through history is fascinating. When we pay close attention, we discover a story of beauty.
