“Neferland” is derived from two words: “Nefer” + “land”. Nefer taken from my initials, pronounced as one word (Nefer = NFR = Nina Firstavina Razad). And “Land” is the part of the Earth that is not covered by water.

When we combine the two words, we’ll get this blog. That simple. 🙂

And the picture above is pretty close to the “land” I had in mind.
