What does "SAVYASACHI" mean??

many a times i found people around me find it vry difficult to digest my name..although it is one of the most unique and significant name i've ever heard..thanks to my parents for giving me this name.
now the question arises what does my name mean??so friends here i present the meaning of my name to clear all confusions :
"savyasachi" has dictionary meaning "ambidextrous" ....i.e. a person capable of performing a particular job equally by both the hands (although i am not good enough in doing that ;) )..
I do remember when i used to pull up a broomstick from a broom and used to make my bow and arrow from it and used to play with the bow and arrow by my left hand..that was the reason my parents gave me this complicated name..
"savyasachi" was the fifth name of arjuna in mahabharat b'coz he was capable of working with bow by both the hands..there were nearly 10 names of arjuna in mahabharata..those names are described below..just have a look :

Partha -son of Pritha, another name for Kunti
Jishnu-the Irrepressible
Kiriti- Shining Diadem, which was gifted by Indra
Shwethavahana-one of Shining Steeds
Bheebhatsu-the Fair Fighter
Vijaya-the Victorious
Phalguna-one born under the asterism "Uttara Phalguna"
Savyasachi-one capable of working a bow with either hand
Dhananjaya-winner of Great Wealth
Gandeevi-the owner of Gandeeva, his bow
Krishna-the dark-skinned one, named by Pandu out of his admiration of Krishna
Kapidhwaja-With the Monkey banner,as Hanuman sat on his banner. It is mentioned that his banner was of a monkey even before the great war
Gudakesha -conqueror of sleep, given in childhood itself,after he started practising archery skills in the dead of night

i hope there must not be any confusion in your mind now related to my name..
