The meaning of my name

Hello! I am Iwao.

Iwao is a Japanese name and it means `mighty rock`.
Although my mother is Japanese, my name was chosen by my Dutch father. And my second name, Maurits, was chosen by my mother. Isn't that funny?

My father chose Iwao simply because it is a beautiful name. So any resemblance with the names Peter / Petrus / Rocky or other names which also have a similar meaning is purely coincidental. :-)
