I love my name, it has a SPECIAL meaning, was born on her feast day that is 22/09/72.I always knew it is a saint's name,I am prod of them Digna & Emerita.Am thankul that my parents chose such a nice & unique name for me, EMERITA
i'm very much happy and proud now upon knowing accidentally today while on research that my name came from one of many martyred saints, one of the reason why i don't like it since childhood, not only due to long name but sometimes bullied due to unusual name. thanks for an educational information.
