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.

I'm not sure what I had in mind when I came up with the name, "Mora." It's been a few months and I didn't keep notes. It's possibly derived from the Japanese word "mamoru," which is the verb for "protect." But... It could also have been totally made up.

Samuel da Costa Mendes is a really bad pun.

As a nurse, his first name is a pun with the emergency medical services both on Brazil and France, plus he follows the biblical naming scheme of the rest of the cast -- Gabriela being his sister.

"da Costa" means "of the shore" in Portuguese, a mention to him inhabiting one of the fake islands created by mankind as a safe heaven. It also contrasts his narrative foil, whose surname is Almeida -- a Portuguese corruption of Arabic for "from the plateau/mesa". Thus, we have a character who descends from the sea, and one who descends from a great plateau.

Mendes, similarly to SAMU, is a joke with his status as a nurse/healer -- it sounds similar to "to mend".

Lucifer comes from latin and means exactly the same as Lucas but as a verb, "light bringing" or else as a name "morning star" (referring to venus). That is because the association of light to knowledge, as he was told to be the wisest of all angels, and also to beauty, he was also told to be the prettiest angel of heaven.
I had to look for the meaning of Amèlia cause I only choosed it as it's a common name among old catalan women. Looks like it comes from german: amal means work, or also from greek: amále means sweet, delicate. The work one would have a lot of meaning in my comic, but the sweet............ she is delicate, yes, but not sweet hahahahah

Lucifer Amèlia

Callis Nomene is roughly translated from Viani (The language of the Kingdom) as "A nameless road"

Novus Igneus is roughly translated as "New Fire"

Ryvan is literally a spelling mistake of the name Ryan. He's even aware of it himself

My main character's name is Yosimetea.
She was born near Yosemite national park and her mom doesn't know how to spell (oops).
Yosimetea is also a heavily-fictionalized version of my childhood-self and my name is Tea. The misspelling of her name also includes my name, so win-win I guess lol

Georgia is the main main character of To the Touch. Her name is English in origin and means farmer. But within the story, she was named after Georgia O'Keefe (she has arty parents).

But I'd be amiss not to mention Bevin! It's an Irish name, the anglicised version of 'Bébhinn'. It means fair lady or white lady. I chose this name for Bevin because she is based on the bare bones of the character from the myth 'Pygmalion and Galatea' - Galatea herself. Galatea means she who is milk-white, as the character was known to be very pale. I wanted to keep the meaning of the name while giving it an Irish twist.

Haven't started posting yet but my main character's name is Luona (罗纳), "luo" which can mean "net", and "na" which can mean accept.

My main character's name is Eva Benjamin, and her pilot callsign is Freya

Her real name represents womanhood and ingenuity (Biblical Eve + Benjamin Franklin).
Freya meanwhile is the Norse goddess of wealth, beauty, and fertility.
