Yes, I posted this on my main page, but I'll delete it soon...
Persons' Name in the anime | Persons' new name given by me | Pronunciation, if needed | Origin or English equivalent/related names | Nicknames | Last name | Reason |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Saturn | Stanford | STAN-ferd | From Old English meaning "stone ford"; Stan, Stanley | Stan, Lil Bro/Cuz, Cass | Caldecutt | Who names their kid Saturn? I reckon Cyrus named him that. |
Mars | Marie | mah-REE (German pron.) | Czech and French form of Maria or Mary | Maria, otherwise, she has none | Caldecutt, née Regard | Same as above. |
Jupiter | Jade | JAYD | Spanish (piedra de la) ijada meaning "(stone of the) flank" (people thought jade could cure colic); Giada, Jada, Jaida, Jayda or Jayde | Big Sis/Cuz | Abbey | Same |
Looker | Émile | ay-MEEL | French form of Aemilius, which means rival; Emil, Emily (sorta) | Dad, Dakota | Caldecutt | Looker sounds like a nickname someone gave him at his work |
Professor Rowan | Siôr | SHOR | Welsh form of George, which in turn means "farmer", "earthworker"; Georg, Gina, Gigi, Jurgen, etc. | Siôr, 'Rowan' is just a nickname. | Caldecutt | He wasn't given a first name anywhere. I made up the fact that 'Rowan' is just his nickname. |
Charon | Paul (this was before his name was changed) | PAWL (English pron.) | Paulus, which meant "small" or "humble" in Latin; Pablo, Paulie, Pauline, Paulette, Pavel, etc. | Old Man Paul | Claes | Same as everyone else. |
Crasher Wake | Ty | TIE | short form any names that start with "Ty"; Tyler, Tyson, Tyrone, Sid, etc. | Ty | Rose | It sounds like a nickname given, if he was a wrestler. Rose is a popular last name. |
Last names
OK people will definitely kill meh XD
Persons' Name in the anime | Last name | Pronunciation, if needed/Origin | Reason |
---|---|---|---|
Lucian | Victor | English, French, Portuguese, Romanian, Late Roman; Roman name meaning "victor" in Latin. | Lucian is a Romanian name, so I decided to give him a Romanian-looking last name. |
Cynthia | Victor, née Theophilus | Greek name meaning "lover of God" | Cynthia is a Greek name, so I decided to give her a Greek last name. |
Aaron | Beech | Derived from the Greek word phegos, which means "oak" and possible connected to the word "edible". | It's not really a last name (not that I know of), but it's still cool. |
Flint | Theophilus (his adopted name), Abel (his original name) | English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Biblical, Biblical Latin, Biblical Greek; From the Hebrew name הֶבֶל (Hevel) or הָבֶל (Havel) which meant "breath". | He doesn't know his original last name due to being adopted. |
Liza | Beech, née Williams | English; From the Germanic name Willahelm, which was composed of the elements wil "will, desire" and helm "helmet, protection". | Liza looked kind of like a English name, so I gave her an English last name. |
Tate | Williams | See above | See above |
Roxanne | Williams, née Rose | English, French, German, Scottish, Jewish; Means "rose" from the Middle English, Old French and Middle High German rose, also to denote someone with a rosy complexion. | It's a popular last name, distantly related to Crasher Wake (Ty). |
Candice | Theophilus, née Kerr | Scottish; Derived from a place name meaning "rough wet ground" in Old Norse. | I made her part Scottish, and Kerr is a good last name. |
Winona | Watt; née Vogel | German; From Middle High German vogel meaning "bird". | It's a no-brainer. |
Volkner | Watt | English, Scottish; An English and Scottish surname derived from the given name Wat, which in turn, is a medieval English given name, short for Walter. | I thought it would be appropriate, him being related to James Watt (the man whom created the watt) |
Roark | Cobble | Middle English meaning 'paving stone', probably a diminutive of cob (which in turn derives from Old Norse meaning 'something rounded') | I dunno whether it's a last name or not, but it seemed a bit appropriate. |
Maylene | Cobble, née Vogel | see above | see above |
Byron | Cobble | see above | see above |
Lorelei | Cobble, née Vogel | see above | see above |
Fantina | Dabney: née Reed | English, Scottish; variant of Reid; meaning "red faced/haired". | It looked French almost. |
Juan | Dabney | Norman French local; a corruption of D'Aubigne; from Aubigne, a town in the department of Cher, France. | Thought it was appropriate. |
Gardenia | Rose | see above | see above |
Crasher Wake (Ty) | Rose | see above | see above |
Stanford | Caldecutt | corruption of the Welsh surname of Caldecot | I thought it was interesting |
Émile | Caldecutt | see above | see above |
Marie | Caldecutt, née Regard | corruption of Reinard; Teutonic or Saxon From Rein, "pure", and "ard", "nature", "disposition"; "honest", "incorrupt". | Seemed like an interesting name (I can't seem to find any info on the last name of 'Regard', which is odd...) |
Jade | Caldecutt-Abbey | As for Abbey: English; Means "dweller by the abbey" or "worker at the abbey" from the Middle English abbeye, abbaye. | I thought it was an interesting name |
Cyrus | Vogel | see above | Cousin to Winona |
Paul (Charon) | Claes | Flemmish; derived from the German shortened name of Nicholas; From the Greek name Νικολαος (Nikolaos) which meant "victory of the people" from Greek νικη (nike) "victory" and λαος (laos) "people". | I thought it was an interesting last name |
Thorton | -- | I have yet to make a last name for him... | |
Barry | -- | Same as above | |
Buck | -- | Same as above |
I may have more, but I don't remember...
