An avatar is the little picture under your screen name as far as the other I am just about as illiterate about this stuff as one can get but i'm learnin:)
 
My avatar WAS a smilie face with flames shooting out of the sides of his head, but I changed it...

I thought it was Latin too, but I couldn't find it in my Latin book. :(
 
Maybe this will help:
