Whats the meaning of your main character's name and share your comic/novel

Aerith:
Aerith's name doesn't have a meaning as far as I know, but there's a final fantasy character called Aerith, so that's cool XD

Luci:
The name Luci gave off the same vibes to me as her character, but there's also the juxtaposition of her kind and childish yet mature personality and the fact that "Luci" can be short for "Lucifer", another name for the devil.

Hanako:
Hanako was actually my nickname for a while, it's a long story. Basically, when we were younger, my friends and I were obsessed with Warriors (that book series by Erin Hunter about cats) and we created our own clan and crap. My warrior name was something like Blossomwind, and Blossom roughly translates to "Kohana" or "Hanako" in Japanese. Hanako just sounded cool I guess XD. When I was looking for names for the characters, I immediately thought of Hanako because Hanako herself is partially a cat.

Hyacinth:
Hyacinth originally started as a character I played in a musical once, bur her character had changed so much in the development of the story that I decided that it would be fine to keep her name.

The villain's name actually has a story behind it but that would be spoilerssss

here's the comic!

My MC name is Dragen, he has that name because he has no true identity other than the fact that he's a dragon. So as a young child he was given the name Dragen by his two childhood friends who watched him hatch. So until he has a true identity, Dragen is who he shall be

My MC is Aniro. Since the story is suppose to be a battle shonen novel based off of anime I played around with some words and got Aniro as a result. I took the words "Anime Protagonist" and shortened them together into one word.

We got 3 main OCs in mines:

Moriarty is a surname of Irish Origin and means 'Navigator' and 'sea worthy'. The story is shaped by their actions, they come from a fishing town. They have British & Irish ancestry.

Evan is of Welch origin and means 'young warrior'- fits his mischievous, boyish nature. Funny it also means 'right-handed' in Scots, while Evan is 'left handed'.

Owen is also of Welch origin and means 'young warrior' but also 'noble' and 'well-born'. He's a 13 year old & evolves into a hero with grand purpose.

Xún is a Mandarin Chinese Surname means 'to inquire', also saw it means 'swift'. Xun always takes an analytical approach. As the brothers' mentor he trains them to become observant. He's very swift in combat.

My main character's name is Pitch for three reasons.

When I was coming up with his name, I was thinking about how I would "pitch it" to people to make his story into a tv show.
In the book, his mother gave him that name because she thought he would be a singer
I settled on Pitch because it's a dark-sounding name, which fits because his story can be dark at times.

Two of my main character, because they are twins, Perfida came from a telanovela that I used to watch few years ago and Perdita was from 101 Dalmation movie.

Perfida came from the word Perfidious which means deceitful but she's not.

Perdita is a Latin origin means Lost

Some of the characters names are Geek origin because of the space-age idea and the others are just made up.

My MC is called Genii (Gen-eye) which I stole from Khmer mythology. They were magical winged beings/sprites that fought off evil spirits. You can find them carved into the temples in Cambodia.

Maor is my 'romanization' of 毛兒 (Mao Er), the chinese version of protagonist's name. To translate word-by-word it will be 'Fur Child'.

The 兒 'Er' is usually an honorific for kids, used by chinese parents. (it originates from China, but it's an old-school thing now) They usually have single names (not counting surnames) and they include 'er' after the name to sound intimate to the child. Not just for kids, Sometimes they even use to people they're very intimate with. If you watch Wuxia shows or ancient chinese dramas you'll know 龍兒，過兒，靖兒 (it's like how Japaneses include '-chan', '-san' , '-kun' after the name of people they talk with in a more comfortable intimate way)

Coincidentally, MAOR also means 'light' or 'luminary' in Hebrew.

I always thought the pronounciation of Gen's name was Gen-ee

My main character's last name is Dimayuga in Tagalog it means unshakable but I didn't think about the meaning of her first name when I chose it.

1) Era's last name is Vanaura which is a small nod to the late great artist Vincent Van Gogh.

2) Karo's last name, Caelus, is in reference to the Greek god of the sky of the same name

3) Cawdigon's name comes from how my parents said I use to say the word "Cardigan" as a toddler.
I found it funny so it stuck

I've always really loved the name Julian, so I sort of picked it on a whim. I like the idea that it means 'Youthful' although that's a bit antithetical to Julian's personality.

As for his last name; Rhydderch is a Welsh name meaning 'reddish-brown'. It's pronounced closer to 'Rutherkh', hence why he says people get his name wrong all the time.

this is fun because most of the time i kind of pulled words out of the air to fit . which are based on their powers and method of fighting but my main villain apocolys that's my play on the word apocalypses which is kind of what happens every time he visits another planet

I have two main characters. First is a Red Cardinal named Random because he is simply random. Next is Norton who has a fancy name as he is the fanciest ostrich.

Stellar's name is fairly simple once you learn she's, well... an astronomer! I have always loved the idea of Stellar as a name and jumped at the chance to use it when I created her character.

Beshadu means 'Helper'. The name is popular in Ethiopia.
Her yellow cape/robe is also inspired by Ethiopian rock-hewn priests.
