Dharma's name

In response to some questions about Dharma's name.
I have to say that I had never considered the name until I became familiar with Dharma Mittra.
you can find a short bio at the following:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dharma_Mittra

Already familiar with most of the meanings I immediately liked the name for our little one, once I saw his little scrunched up face... :-)

The meaning of "Dharma" that reasonates most with us now is the following:

"In both the Buddhist and Jainist tradition dharma is considered to be the underlying moral structure of the universe. Following one's dharma, or duty, is the path to liberation."

As with all of the names of our kids, it is our hope that they eventually teach us their meaning.
