We've had many people ask where we got the name Karsten.
Several years ago some friends of ours were trying to come up with a boy's name for a child they were expecting. They asked us if we knew any good names. Well Brian and I love to research things like that so we started researching and Brian checked out German names. Karsten was one of the names---the name we both loved and agreed on.
Karsten is Greek or German in origin and means Annointed One, Blessed One---it's kind of like naming the baby Christian. WE LOVE IT...
Edward means guardian of prosperity. My grandfather's name was Edward and Brian's fathers', grandfather's, and great grandfather's middle name was Edward.
YES! I was one of the ones wondering but had not asked yet. Love the meaning behind the names, thank you.
