My Name

          My first name Michelle was given to me by both of my parents, they named me that because  they liked the name and wanted to name one of their daughters Michelle. I did some research on my name, apparently my first name, Michelle, is the french feminine name for Michel, and the hebrew feminine name of Micheal meaning "Who is of god." My mother gave me my middle name Hope, because I was born on the same day (not year) that my great grandma died, and I was born on my granpa's birthday. My middle name is puritanian, Old English, and Middle English and it obviosuly means the feeling of being hopeful. My last name is derived from the Olde German word "graf," which is the german version of someone who is royal or a noble, it also has a 9th century origin. I got my last name from my father because it is his last name.
