Origin:
germanic
Name Root:
*hugiz > Hugues > Hugo
Meaning:*
This name derives from the French “Hugues,” which in turn derives from an Old Low Franconian given name based on the Ancient Germanic element “*hugiz,” meaning “mind, bright in mind and spirit, heart, mind, thought, sense, understanding.” The name became widespread in England after the conquest by the Normans. Hugues Capet (Hugh the Great) was the first “King of the Franks” from the eponymous Capetian dynasty, from his election to succeed the Carolingian Louis V in 987 until his death. Hugh of Lincoln (St. Hugh of Avalon), was, at the time of the Reformation, the best-known English saint after Thomas Becket.

Chakra Number: #9
Chakra "Pineal Gland"

The Pineal Gland is about the size of a pea, and is in the center of the brain in a tiny cave behind and above the pituitary gland which lies a little behind the root of the nose. It is located directly behind the eyes, attached to the third ventricle. This chakra is also known as the upper dan tien. The ninth chakra is an interesting chakra in that it is in this chakra that all the Christ abilities lie dormant, waiting to be released and used in the outer and inner worlds. The shift in focus at this time is toward that Christ energy and the accompanying abilities that go along with it. Hence, a great deal of work and energy is now being sent into physical reality to help the individual open up and expand this energy center.

Gold is intimately linked with Divinity and those gods associated with the Sun. It symbolizes wealth and success.
