However, her first name is offensive to me and any other American in their right mind. I do not care whatever its meaning is in her country. Here in most western nations, it represents the agonizing deaths and torture of millions of innocent individuals. Please post your thoughts.

The swastika has an extensive history. It was used at least 5,000 years before Adolf Hitler designed the Nazi flag. The word swastikacomes from the Sanskrit svastika, which means “good fortune” or “well-being." The motif (a hooked cross) appears to have first been used in Neolithic Eurasia, perhaps representing the movement of the sun through the sky. To this day it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. It is a common sight on temples or houses in India or Indonesia. Swastikas also have an ancient history in Europe, appearing on artifacts from pre-Christian European cultures.

Nice! Just wanted to see if anyone caught it.
Op should be forced to change his name because in my country putting seven "2" in a row is considered an insult
