ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Tuba (given name)

Okay, so let's start with the basics! A tuba is a big and heavy musical instrument that makes very low sounds. It's like a giant trumpet that you have to hold up with special straps around your body so you can play it.

Now, a given name is like a name that your parents give you when you are born. It's the name that people use to call you and identify you with.

So, when someone has the given name "Tuba," it means that their parents decided to name them after the musical instrument! It's not a very common name, but it's special because it comes from a unique source.

It's kind of like how some people are named after flowers or animals, except in this case it's a musical instrument. And who knows, maybe someone with the name Tuba will grow up to be an amazing musician who can play the instrument that they share a name with!
