Alrighty! That took forever. Anywho, I really like picking names for my charries that have meaning. So, even if you didn’t do it on purpose, let’s share some of the meanings of our charries’ names! Some of mine are totally unrelated to their personality. 😂 I’ll start: (sorry that they are not in order)
Everton — boar town; hardy; brave
Malyk — king
Harlin — noble friend, noble warrior
Asher — happy, blessed
Lukas— brings light
Amidala — beautiful flower
Adalynn — noble, kind
Ruben — behold a son
Destry — war horse
Fynn — fair
Skyler — scholar, sky
Please tag anyone else that might be interested!!

Oh! Cool topic! I like your character’s names. I don’t usually worry too much about the name meaning, but I do have a couple.
Dante- (this one’s kinda obvious) based off of Dante’s inferno, he is a fire proof alien from a volcanic planet
Carmen- means song, she loves singing and dancing
Simon- means listen or God has heard
“Nothing says autumn like slurpin’ apples.” -my uncle
Fun topic!
I like Amidala’s name. So pretty!
Here’s some of mine:
From Overcome:
Ludwika: feminine form of (Ger.) Ludwik, which means famous warrior. ( wow. This is new to me.)
Nataliya: the King’s birthday. (the nativity or Christmas)
Piotr: Ukrainian for Peter which means rock
Lyaksandro: defender of mankind
Michał: Polish for Michael (the angel)
Łucasz: bringing light (hey we both have a Lukas!! Mine’s the Polish form 😀 )
From My Resolve (a WIP I haven’t talked about much. I’m trying to finish it before New Year’s so I’ve been working on it a lot lately.)
Lana: pure sunlight
Henry: leader, ruler
Euphemia (Effie): fair speech
Jonathan: gift of God (Hebrew)
Theodora: gift of God (Greek)
(Funny, Jonathan and Theodora are siblings and their names mean the same thing!)
Malcolm: Prince, chief
Arnë: eagle
He must increase, but I must decrease.
Well, I didn’t really think about the meaning of the name when naming my characters at all. But… this made me want to know what they mean, so…
Milo – soldier
Cammie – helper to the priest
Grant – big, large
Elissa – God is a promise
None of them really make sense with the character 😂 Elissa is definitely my favorite, though!
~Poor Johnny~
🤣 Poor, poor, Johnny… he’s doomed
Funny, Jonathan and Theodora are siblings and their names mean the same thing!)
That’s awesome!! The rest of your character meanings are really cool!!
The meaning for Elissa is my fave too!!
I really like the name Carmen!!

Oh, this is fun!
In A Dream Come True:
Elinor–Old English/Old French: light
Aedan–Irish Gaelic: little fiery one (this fits so perfectly!!)
Durwin–Old English: dear friend (I knew this when I picked the name but I didn’t exactly choose it because of the meaning
In Swallowtail Summer:
Brooke–English/German: uh, brook 😝
Claire–English: bright, clear
Ruby–English: um, ruby LOL
Be brave. Be strong. Be bold.
-Christopher BlakewellThat’s awesome!! The rest of your character meanings are really cool!!
Thanks! I love naming characters. For My Resolve I remember looking through the back of a dictionary and finding old names to use. It was fun. 🙂
He must increase, but I must decrease.
Oo, fun!!
Let’s see how many I can remember:
Christopher: Greek, Christ-bearer
Alexander: Greek, protector and defender of mankind (really fits his personality!)
Briana: Irish, high, noble, exalted
Andrea: womanly
Elena: Spanish, torch, light
Cara: friend
Jade: Um, jade stone?
Michael: Hebrew, who is like God
I don’t think I really have any other important characters 🙂
Dark is the Shadow, and yet my heart rejoices.
The name Andrea is really pretty! What’s she like?
He must increase, but I must decrease.
@esther-c YESSS ME TO!!! I love naming charries just because I can look up names with meaning!!! It’s so fun!!!
So here’s mine!
Arabella: Means Prayerful or yielding to prayer (I actually didn’t know this or choose her name for this, I chose it because it was pretty and princess sounding lol! I thought it meant beautiful, but I love it!!!)
November: Means the word nine, which doesn’t really relate to him….but…ah…my November has a couple secrets. (SPOILER…yea if ur really curious u can go check out the spoiler forum.)
Corvina: Raven-haired
Jocelyn: Happy, Joyful (so fitting)
Nyx: Night, The word Nyx also means nothing, but in my brain I associate it with trickiness, etc. such as Nyxing things.
Grimm: Can mean fierce, stern, severe (I prefer the first one) I also found one place where it said it can mean Mask, etc.
Paxton: Peace town (🥰)
Luna/Dolunay: Full moon/moon
Arthur: Bear, Strong man.

#ProtectSebThanks for the fun topic!
Oh, I really like the name Ruben. And of course, Everton. He’s my favorite from your WIP.
Oh! I like the name Dante.
I like Ellisa’s name, and it’s meaning too! 😀
Have I met Grant yet? 🤔
Oh I like the name Aedan! And little fiery one 😂 that’s funny.
I like the name Elena’s name!
Here are mine:
Tauren: Bull. Not very fitting. 😂 I had no idea. I just thought Tauren Wells had a cool name and I copied it lol.
Lesli: A garden where the holly tree grows.
Layson: Son of Lawrance
Maylee:
Ok so, I just picked this name because I heard the name Marlee, liked it, but thought Maylee would be better. I looked it up, and it’s like a exact description of her! here’s a direct copy of what the website I saw said:
The name Maylee is sometimes used generically to refer to a beautiful girl with dark hair and Asian features, and sometimes more broadly used to refer to any beautiful girl with dark hair.
Like, that’s Maylee! 🤣 I had no idea!
Everly: boar, woodland clearing.
Kaine: spear, little battler. (Also pretty fitting)
and fun fact, my Irl name means Ruler of Elves. My old youth pastor called me Elrondia when he learned that 😂

@esther-c @theloonyone @loopylin @felicity @mineralizedwritings @godlyfantasy12 @starofthenorth @arien
Awww, I love everyone’s charries name meanings!! So, for Matthew and Lyla I did look up a bunch of names and their meanings, and I chose the two that seemed most fitting and I liked the most.
Matthew means: Gift of God.
Lyla means: Island Beauty, Night Beauty, Dark. (I didn’t choose her name because of night and dark tho 😅. Just bc it’s pretty and I liked the sound of Island Beauty.)
Iris means: Rainbow
Asher means: Happy, Blessed.
The last two I didn’t look up the meanings, but Asher’s fits perfectly!! He is always happy. And Iris…well, I don’t know about her being a rainbow 🤷🏻♀️. But she’s happy and caring and gentle.

and fun fact, my Irl name means Ruler of Elves. My old youth pastor called me Elrondia when he learned that 😂
