Often words get twisted over a preiod of time and with the movement of people, specially when amalgamation happens with people of other cultures and words take their own journey across generations.
So some of the western names have always intrigued me. And whenever I see the names, I immediately realize the names to be nothing but a corruption of some ancient Indian name.
For a probability of name and meaning being the same, one just has to follow well known rules of Sanskrit and English sounds, and see if there is a connection in the meaning. which often loose there siginificance in the western context but have a deeper significance in the Sanskrit context.
Please see my article on the probability of "syllables being joined together" vs one thinking that any word can be made into another word from Sanskrit by "n" iterations of letter replacements, which is not the case here as we would follow well known substitute sounds and patterns observed and rules.
So here are some of the names:
Camilla, Camila, Kamala - C has many English pronounciations, including "K"
Monica, Monika, Manika - Some times in Engish "a' is pronounced as "a" and sometimes as "e" as "ai", and sometimes as "o" as "au". "c" and "k" in one context are samiliar.
Ramsey, Ramsay, and Rama-isis or Ram-esis or Ram-esys.
Neil, Neel, Suneel, and Su-nil
Leila and Leela
Anita and Aneeta
Sam and Shayam
Tanya and Tanaya
Trisha and Trish

Apocalypsis - Does it mean the same in Sanskrit?
Apocalypsis - The bibilical use of the word to describe the Great Flood, famously called Noah's flood, which has been recorded all over the world by different civilizations. It is also used to connote the end of world event or even the judgement day.
Modern History is now finding submerged cities with the aid of modern imaging and scaning technology, with satellites. Sites have been found near South India, near Mahabalipuram in South India, near Alexenderia, near North West of Israel, in Atlantis, near UK and near Japan.
Even since I taught myself Sanskrit Grammer (with no compromises as an effort to give therapy to my son as stimulation for memory and logic to heal him from 1/3 brain loss from 3 places 11 years back and also to dig out ancient knowledge from ancient books of India), I see the words differently than what I was before it.
The words I see are based on sound syllables and then I try to break into known Sanskrit roots, and create well known sounds following rules, and see if the meaning arrives comes close to the word.
So back to our game of Sanskritizing the word and seeing if the meaning is the same.
Apah-kaal-i-apah or Apah-kaal-i-apas or Apo-Kaal-i-Apas.
As silent "h" or visarga can become one of sibilant sounds "s" and also "o" besides enclitic.
Their is a prefix called "Apa" in sanskrit used in modifying verbs (which are derived from nouns and can also in turn become new nouns and the series can go on for ever) as well as to make adverbs as well as pronoun. To make an adverb, a visarga can be added. So we get Apah.
Kaal means time and also the indicates the great end or death. We all know that time is the biggest killer.
Now Apas means water. See my previous posting Greek English Apsis And Sanskrit Apas on the word.
So the "Sanskritized" word means - Under Death/Time Water - which is what the word really means - the great flood which submerges the world. The compound in Sanskrit has many contexts and basically one has to fill blanks to expand the words into a context. And there are all kinds of compounds, that often grammarians from west get confounded by the sheer enormity of variations and they tend to only talk about the main ones. So it could mean "Water that Brings the World Under".
"i-a" can become "y", where "i" is used sometimes to connect a consant. The last "is" could have comes from "ih" which is basically a singular noun, or if used as "iih", it could be a plural noun.

Greek/English Apsis and Sanskrit Apas or Apah
Skeptics, just please note the differences between English words pronunciation and spelling between English and American English words. Now see how an American or Westerner pronounces "pure sounds" in Sanskrit, and see how it gets corrupted. Now account for the colloquial affect the unlearned mass brings to the classical words. Now add the flow of thousands of years of world history conquering and conquered nations, migration and conjugation of people and cultures, and the mainstream acceptable history, language and culture being re-written by the mighty latest conqueror.
Apsis
In architecture, apsis is a synonym for apse.
In Sanskrit, Apas, Apasu, Apas all mean water.
Let see how the "ancients" may have come to this word from their basic building blocks of their classical language, to which the Vedic and the Classical Sanskrit are very closely related, as well as the Ancient Greek.
"Apa" or "Ap" is a prefix which means "down". And "as" and "s" are sounds for verb which connotes verb of "happening". So something that "down happens". Rain comes down, watern flows down, so one can see their is co-relation. But anyway this was a wildest guessing!
Lets see this line here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periapsis
From the URL:
A diagram of Keplerian orbital elements. F Periaps, H Apoapsis and the red line between them is the line of apsides. In astronomy, an apsis, plural apsides is the point of greatest or least distance of the elliptical orbit of an astronomical object from its center of attraction, which is generally the center of mass of the system. The point of closest approach is called the periapsis or pericentre and the point of farthest excursion is called the apoapsis (Greek από, from, which becomes απ before a vowel, and αφ before rough breathing), apocentre or apapsis (the latter term, although etymologically more correct, is much less used). A straight line drawn through the periapsis and apoapsis is the line of apsides. This is the major axis of the ellipse, the line through the longest part of the ellipse.
Related terms are used to identify the body being orbited. The most common are perigee and apogee, referring to orbits around the Earth, and perihelion and aphelion, referring to orbits around the Sun (Greek ‘ήλιος hēlios sun). During the Apollo program, the terms pericynthion and apocynthion were used when referring to the moon.
Now first lets look at the usage of the word "apas" in terms describing the space. Remember the Milky way is called "Akash River Ganga". The ancients would draw parallels in the space with the world they would see on the earth. They believes that Microcosm was a reflection of Microcosm. The space was nothing but an "ocean of etheral water" or ether. Anyone who has followed Astronomy would know this.
The plural of "apas" or "apah" is "apaas" or "appah". The instrumental plural is "apseh" or "apses". Somehow the word shows some corruption for plural as "apsides". Here "d" could be corrupted "t" and there is a rule in Sanskrit where "ta" in inserted to make the sound between "s" a bit easier to pronouce. So one can see "apses" becoming "apstes" and then "apsdes". There are some optional rules where the sound "i" is also employed to connect an ending to a constant. So it can also become "apsides". People may be wondering this is a wild guess. Just do the probabilities of alphabets in this patterns keeping the sound close to each other with allowance for changing patterns in accents and enunciations and the way sounds are made by different people from different regions.
Now "ap-apsah" or "apoapsis" means "below/down ethereal water space", and "pra-apsah"/"prati-apsah" would mean "across or opposite ethereal water space", since in Sanskrit "pra" means "going across or forth from a point of reference as prefix" and "prati" means "opposite". For some reasons, the corruption has taken place and "pra" has become "peri", which in Sanskrit means the same as English and Greek "Peri".
Now lets look at the words perigee and apogee. In Sanskrit the root for go is "gam" and week form is "gay" and it can become "gae" (Sanskrit Samprasanna rule or vowel degradation and some vowel combination rule which is one way to look at it but common sense in transliteration of the sounds can also be used here too). Not sure why the "geo"for earth came and it could be also connected. So "apogee" and "perigee" are nothing "apagae" and "pragae" corruptions - in terms for looking for root sounds.
Please see this Sanskrit-iz-ed Words with Simple and Compound Siblants
posting for the word Helios, Sheilesh, or Suresh, which stands for Sun, splendor, epitome of richness and everything (remember Sun was epithet being taken by the Kings and dynasties). So the word "apahelios" and "perihelios" would be "apa-sheelesh" and "pra-sheelesh".
Now moon in Sanskrit is called "Chandram". See what the word was used by NASA - pericynthion and apocynthion. One should know the nasal sounds "n" and "m" are interchangeable in Sanskrit and sound "t" and "d" are related.
People who think this as hocus-pocus, are advised to learn the Sanskrit rules and then see if this sounds correct.
The principle is like a building a chemical formula. It is like seeing Oxide, Nitrate, Nitrite, Sulphate, Sulphide, Phosphate, Hydroxide, etc., bases in different chemical compounds, and see the formulas having something common. Then those knowing Chemistry or Biochemistry would know that the same effect of "commonness" in "prefix", "base" and "suffix" goes on among different compounds which seem unrelated. Just go and check on Amino Acids, Sugar/Glucose/Fructose, Lipids/Fats/Cholesterol/Glycerol/Saccharides etc. All these work base on some formulas and the Ancients understood this principle to come up with their words!

Sanskrit "Nirodha" and Western Alchemy "Nigredo"
Are these two words related? You decide for yourself after reading this posting.
In the Eastern traditions there is a catatonic deathlike state called Nirodha "meaning "prior to the arising of ignorance and volitional impulse."
Like deep Samadhi, Nirodha is a very high non-meditative meditative state. During Nirodha there is no time sense, heartbeat and metabolism are slow and practically cease so very little energy is burned, and body temperature drops well below normal. In fact this spiritual catatonia is so deathlike that there is the danger of being mistaken as dead and so buried alive. It is said that Nirodha is a precursor to Ego Death.
Nigredo in Western alchemy is the death-like withdrawl of the soul from the body.
"The Gnani (the Enlightened) continually enjoys uninterrupted, transcendental experience, keeping his inner attention always on the Source, in spite of the apparent existence of the ego, which the ignorant imagine to be real. This apparent ego is harmless; it is like the skeleton of a burnt rope--though it has form, it is of no use to tie anything with." Sri Ramana Maharshi

Quantum Reality
Please also read my postings on Sanskrit World and also on Atom and Atma. So why am I posting videos on Quantum Physics?
Basically in the Vedanta Philosophy, the True Reality or The Brahman is nothing but The All Pervasive Consciousness, the Absolute Summon Bonn um, The First Principle, The Ultimate Sentiment, which encompasses animate and in-animate, sentient and in-sentient, is beyond 4-D Time and Space. And what we see in 4-D Time and Space is nothing but an Illusion - or a Relative Reality, or Maya.
In Shaivism and Tantra, basically the Shiva Principle is Brahman and the Shakti Principle is the Maya Principle or the Pra-Krat-I, e.g. Nature. From Tantra and Shaivism, Buddhism and Yoga Science have borrowed a lot.
So in the Vedanta and the Yoga Philosophy, they say that the Body, Senses, Mind, Memory, Intellect and Ego Principles are part of an Individual Microcosm, which is part of the Universal Macrocosm. So the objective of all Seekers of the Truth, is to transcend the Body, Mind, Memory, Intellect and Ego Principles, and one way is through Meditative Practices.
What I say this is like this: "When one voids the individual self - Sefishness and Ego, the Super Self or Divinity fills in", or "Infinite-ness through Void-ness", which Buddhist people call it Nihilism.
But this is mistaken by many people as denial of the Divine Principle by the Buddhists. But what it means is that instead of chasing Divinity outside self, one should seek Divinity inside by reducing one self to a void - transcend the Body, Senses, Mind, Memory and Intellect Principles and knowing that one is not all that. Buddha realized the weakness of individuals of off loading this responsibility to other outside agencies like Brahmins, Idols, Worship, Sacrifices, and "some one in sky", and so stressed on "Nihilism".
The transactional world is nothing but a relative reality but which can not be ignored. But one should not focus both eyes on this relative reality and get stuck but have at least another eye or third eye focus on the Absolute Reality! Today Physicists admit that the Ultimate Reality is made of 11 or 16 dimensions, depending on whom you hear from!
So from discreetness of Individual Selves, one goes into continuation model of the Absolute Reality - that means we are all interconnected and part and parcel of the same Absolute Divine Reality!
This duality is what one can also see in, "Wave vs Particle Theory", "Mind over Body", "Mind over Matter" - or Divinity exhibiting "Total Mind vs "Total Body". The World of Reality is nothing but self replicating Fractals!
One proof is this experiment in the video. How does the Electron, suppose to be acting like a particle, is found to be acting like a wave - through an indirect observation, but acts like a particle - through a direct observation of a " discreet witnessing agent". So as if the electron becomes aware of the observer, like a child changing his or her behavior, from being naughty to expected behavior, as soon as disciplining parent appears and is perceived by the child! Or as if the observer emanates its presence through a field radiated which electron detects! But this field is not known to us like Electro Magnetic Field or Gravitational Field. Or as if there is a 3rd All Pervading Conscious Entity which interconnects the Observer and the Observant!
Modern Quantum Mechanics now admits that the reality we perceive is nothing but an instantiation of the countless possibilities - wave becoming particle - made possible by our "individual self will power or observation that we want to see! So we can create the world outside by the world we want! This has been substantiated by some studies of Mass Prayers and Positive Thinking exercises.
