Bioni - Lords Lecture: Names


No, I'm not going to give the history behind every name used in Bioni-Lords. Some of them were submitted by other people, so I don't know where they came from. But I thought I may as well publish the name origins I remember.

 

Khadaz: It's "Zadakh" backwards, but with the K and H flipped

Amy: I asked people to submit some ideas for female names, and this was the one that I thought seemed best

Kharuun: "Nuurahk" backwards, but with the K and H flipped

Hyohana: I looked up "ice" (hyo) and "flower" (hana) in Japanese, and then combined them

Azara: She, and the other members of the Devil Squad, are all named after flowers. The characters they're based on have the same naming theme, although the names are a bit different.

Zenrei Zokuhen: "zenrei"-precedent, "zokuhen"-sequel; both in Japanese. I think I liked the contrast...

Vakahu: Vakama and Tahu

Lhikahu: Lhikan and Tahu

Onatewka: A mix of Onewa and Hewkii

Hewtu: Hewkii and Pohatu

Onupara: A mix of Onua and Nuparu

Nupenua: Nuparu and Whenua

Kopuju: Kopaka and Nuju

Mataka: I think it's a corruption of Matatu, Nuju's Kanohi

Leanga: I think it's a mix of Lewa and Kongu

Phantau: Phantoka and Matau

Cindy, Jerry, and Kate: Random names picked to continue the theme of using real-world names for Amy's family

Nokali: Nokama and Gali

Avanada: Av and Amanda

Takon: A corruption of Takua/Takanuva

Solenma: Solek and Tanma

Norscu: A corruption of Norse (no clue why I picked that...)

Rien: French for "nothing". I thought it sounded like a good character name...now I realize how cruel it is...

Artakhall: A corruption of Artakha

Tonnira: A corruption of "tonnerre"-thunder (in French)

Zempyst: A mix of Zephyr and tempest

Aile: French for "wing," a play on a dragon's wing

Daxam: A pseudonym used by a friend of mine

Nikari: I'm...really not sure...

Gaizenji: Originally created for a mutant Suukorak who was a master of illusions. It's a corruption of Aizen, the name of a villain in Bleach who uses illusions.

Verasu: "verre" (French) and "garasu" (Japanese), both of which mean glass. Although, I believe verre means glass as in a cup, and garasu is just "glass" with a Japanese accent...

Nigala: I think it's a corruption of "Nile"

Yume: Japanese for "dream"; I believe she has stated this in the story

Stained Glass: Sadly, it doesn't look like stained glass. I picked it because stained glass has multiple colors, and Stained Glass is made up of Orbs of all types, including all Elements, which each have representative colors. And...it sounded cool.

Kytan (whoever he is lol): Not sure...it makes me think "katana," but I may have just pulled it out of thin air

Genakex: A pseudonym I use at times

Xyla: No, not based on "xylophone"--she gets really mad if you call her that. I think I just wanted a name including X and pulled it out of thin air.

Black Tide: All their names are corruptions of the names of the Barraki they use, except Nocturn--I named him "Red" as a pun on the "Red Nocturne" enemy from Kingdom Hearts
