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
