[Andrew Amundrud <aamundrud AT yahoo.com>]

You are correct, Amundrud is a name from Norway. I don't know anything about 
the 
meaning. I know that there is a farm in Norway with the same name where the 
family is from.

I can see from most of these replies that my initial reaction, that of the 
book 
being fictional, is most likely. I am still intrigued by the story. 

I am also grateful for all the responses and links to more information. 

Thanks,

Andrew

I think the Bible code is about as factual as the Da Vinci Code and Chariot 
of 
the Gods.  I think the best way to help you is to find the dirivation of your 
name and translate it into Hebrew. Andrew is Greek  Ἀνδρέας from ἀνήρ meaning 
a 
"man" or "manly" from which ἄνθρωπος derives. The Hebrew would be אֱנוֹשׁ     
 a 
contraction of  אִישׁ
so the best Hebrew name that is equivalent would be Adam אָדָם  but Amundrud 
sounds like an Old Norse name that may have been altered over the centuries. 
if 
"UNDR" is part of the original, it could mean "triumph"  or "Rinnah" רִנָּה 
but 
more needs to be known about the history of that name.

They did the "Bible Codes" with Moby dick by Herman Melville. But none the
less, it was still fun reading about it.
