People in the community have given me my name, in their culture. I love this very much. Thank you for any additions!

  1. Chinese: 龍之春 (it means “Spring Dragon”, as my last name “Long” means “Dragon” in Chinese)
  2. Japanese: 龙之春
  3. Hindi : जोश (it means “passion”, and sounds _almost_ like “Joosh”!)
  4. Kannada / Kanarese : ಜೆಪ
