Where did the title "For Whom The Bell Tolls" come from, and what does it mean?

Ernest Hemingway Frequently Asked Questions @ lostgeneration...
Hemingway took "For Whom The Bell Tolls" from "Meditation 17" of John Donne's (1572-1631) work Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions. The tolling of the bell refers to the act of ringing a bell (the death knell) at a funeral to indicate that someone has died. Hemingway is drawing a parallel between the death of one person and the consequent affect on everyone, and the loss of Spain to the fascists in the Spanish Civil War. See similar questions...

What does the title The Name of the Rose mean, anyway?

Eco - Frequently Asked Questions
I love this novel -- which is hardly surprising. And the title is certainly one of the mysteries of the book, an open-ended question that everyone deserves a chance to work out on their own. However, since more than a few people write in to seek answers, I can point you to a pair of helpful resources.

Tomobiki-cho, The Urusei Yatsura Web Site
The title "Urusei Yatsura" is a Japanese play on words. There isn't any English equivalent to this complex multi-leveled pun, so we must explain it in detail to understand it.
