Kareswynn Random Stuff sweatdrop I was bored so I tried looking up the names of some of our characters:
Fanta - African, meaning “beautiful day” - Short form of Fantasia (Italian, meaning “fantasy”) - Name of a popular drink Elorie - I couldn’t find anything on this name officially, but I found that it’s a popular role playing name, especially for elven characters... Arya - Means "honorable, noble" in Sanskrit (Hindi) - Persian, meaning “Friend” or “Faithful” - Short form of Aryana (Greek, meaning “very holy one”) - Also the name of the elven ambassador/princess from the Inheritance trilogy by Christopher Paolini Sunfax - I failed to find anything on this name either, but it seems to be a counterpart to the name Shadowfax; Gandalf’s great mount in the Lord of the Rings, lord of all horses, and king of the Mearas. Ukiri - African (?), meaning “acceptance” Bonus Malus - Latin, Bonus meaning “good” and Malus meaning “bad,” “wicked,” or “evil” Dux - Latin, meaning “leader,” “guide,” “commander,” “general,” or “duke” Noctus Dies - Latin, Dies meaning “Day” - Couldn’t find Noctus, but I’m pretty sure it means something along the lines of “night” or “darkness” Glace - root, “Ice” as in glacier Aros Ranas Zen - (Aros) Viking settlement, name meaning “estuary” - (Aros) variation on Eros, Greek meaning “God of Love” (Cupid) Xeranus - couldn’t find anything... Nana - Pet form of Ioanna; Greek, feminine form of Ioannes (John) - From a duplication of Japanese "vegetables, greens" - Short form of Nanami (Japanese, “Seven seas”) - Short form of Nanase (Japanese, “Seven currents”) - Short form of Nanako (Japanese, “Child of the greens”) Elphie - short form of Elphaba; a variation of Aelphaba, a saint who disappeared behind a waterfall for hundreds of years to read a book (From the universe of Wicked/Wizard of Oz books). Nicknames include Elphie, Fabala, and Fae Aescwyn - Celtic, male, meaning “Spear Friend” - Old English, female, meaning “Ash Maiden” Stormheart - a name I made up, meaning is obvious xp Ursula - Scandinavian, means "little bear" derived from a diminutive form of the Latin word ursa, "she-bear" Gabriel - From the Hebrew name (Gavri'el) which meant "strong man of God". Gabriel is one of the seven archangels in Hebrew tradition. He appears in both the Old Testament and the New Testament, where he serves as the announcer of the births of John to Zechariah and Jesus to Mary. According to Islamic tradition he was the angel who dictated the Qur'an to Muhammad. - Also translated as “Hero of God” or “God is my might” - First name of the vampire hunter Gabriel Van Helsing Ruby - Simply means "ruby" from the name of the precious stone (which ultimately derives from Latin ruber, "red"), which is the birthstone of July. This name can also be a pet form of Reuben. Ada - Short form of Adelaide (“noble kind” or “of the noble sort”) - Germanic, meaning “noble” or “happy” Jerii - I couldn’t find anything on this on other than it might be a variation on Jerry... sweatdrop
