I did a search when my Grandson Ezekiel Tyrell was born and found not only the meaning of his first and middle names but also the meaning of my familys last name Loudermilk.

His first name means 'The strength of God, and his middle name means thunders.

MY family's last name is a Bavarian name which was originally spelled lautermilch which means pure milk which relates to perfected nourishment, which of course relates to building up personal strength, so my last name means perfected strength.

My Grandsons name: Ezekiel Tyrell Loudermilk means: The strength of Goed thunders perfected strength!

My own name James Michael Loudermilk Means: Overcomer who is like the Lord Perfected strength.
