Pondering Presidential Names

We had finished watching National Treasure 2 and he had been asking me to identify the President depicted in that movie. Somehow that got him thinking about our current president and this is what he said, "How come the other [presidents] don't have those terrible names like 'Obama'?" After some further thinking, "I wonder if his Mom ever...[pause]...what DOES 'Obama' MEAN?!?"

I explained that we refer to our presidents by their last name but then, that didn't really help much as I reminded him of our current president's first name. :( And he still was just really fixated on wanting to know the meaning of the name OBAMA.

Personally, I would really love to know the rest of that question about his Mom!
