[split] What does the name "Farseer" really mean? SPOILERS ALL BOOKS

[Farseer]

I am so excited, I can hardly contain myself!!!

I'm heading back to our discussion on the significance of the number twelve and the Skill-pillars being represented or even actually present during Fitz' [[Naming Ceremony]] (a little of the conversation which is below)...bearing in mind also that the [[Witness Stones]] in Buck are used to judge those within the Six Duchies...

It says in AA, "It requires a Man to sponsor and name the candidate, and he must find a dozen other Men who concede the boy is worthy and ready" so, yes, it does seem that it requires thirteen, including the sponsor. Maybe Fool was the sponsor, naming him as Changer (puts a spin on the gender debate !), and the twelve were the Pillars? Going with the Pillars being the actual Skill-pillars, the Witness Stones (as an example) do deem ones who go there as either worthy or unworthy...

...it has just occurred to me that a jury consists of usually twelve jurors and also a judge, making a total of thirteen people present to return a verdict - the same number required for the Naming Ceremony to take place and the person being named to be deemed worthy!! That can't be a coincidence...can it?!
