OC Name Meanings Tag

Thank you @druidx for tagging me! ♥️

Rules: Search for and post the meaning of your OCs’ names (if you made their name up or they go by a nickname, post an explanation of how it came to you!) Bonus if you can find something for the last name too.

Guinevere / Margaret Elyse Iuscora: Guinevere is the name she was given in her origin life, while the second one is what she was given in her second life. Guinevere means “fair, white, blessed.” This name comes from Arthurian Legend, which is an inspiration for the wos universe. Margaret means “pearl.” Elyse, her mother’s name, means “God is my oath.” Her surname Iuscora is made up by me, but it signifies her family’s archangel ancestry.

Theodore James Grayson: Theodore means “gift of God,” which works out perfectly for his origin; his adopted mother believed he was left behind by one of the angels and therefore was meant as a gift to her since she was unable to bear her own children. James means “supplanter.” Not quite sure if that fits anywhere into his story. His surname Grayson means “son of the reeve” (a local official, in particular the chief magistrate of a town or district).

Elizabeth “Ella” Ann Hart: This isn’t her birth name, but rather one she chose when going into hiding. Elizabeth means “God’s promise or God is my oath,” though she has a complicated relationship with her religion. Ann means “grace, He has favored me” and it’s also accepted as a religious name. Her chosen surname is Hart, which means “stag.”

Alexander “Alex” Louise Ryder: Alexander means “man’s defender, warrior.” His first name was a placeholder until I liked it so much that it kinda stuck, but it’s surprisingly rather fitting. Louise means “renowned warrior,” and I just so happened to choose it because I thought it sounded great with the name Alexander. His surname, Ryder, is a variant of Rider so it literally means horseman or horse rider.

Penemu Zilyana Nightingale: I came up with the name Penemu years ago, but upon looking it up, it turns out that there’s actually a being in Enochian lore named Penemue and he’s “a curer of stupidity in man” (according to Wikipedia). Since she has the nicknames Pen and Penny, I decided her name was a variation of the name Penelope, which means “weaver.” Zilyana is also a made up name, but the closest match I could find was Zilya, which means “hunter, harvester, guardian.” The surname Nightingale means “someone with a good voice,” as this species of bird is known for its beautiful song.

Elisven Luina Skylark: The name Elisven was also made up by me, but it’s a variation of Elizabeth which means “God’s promise or God is my oath.” Luina is the name Luna (with an i) which means “moon.” This was also her paternal grandmother’s middle name, and Luina is the name of the moon goddess in Aetherian mythology. The surname Skylark possibly comes from a type of European lark, a bird renowned for its ability to fly vertically up into the air.

A, F, Z, and E for the OC alphabet soup ask game.

( @angsty-prompt-hole )

Thanks for the ask, @angsty-prompt-hole! ♥️ Since I don't have an OC whose name begins with an F, I chose the letter that follows it.

ARLEN IUSCORA

He is the son of King Kyllen and Princess (consort) Avalynn and the younger sibling of Rosalie, but he never got to meet his family since his kingdom was taken over by another, leading to the deaths of his father and sister. He was separated from his mother for his safety, but she died before the two could reunite.

Arlen became a ward of House Garnett, where he met his best friend Isladine, and his identity was kept a secret until he was of age.

He has an undiagnosed heart condition that didn't cause him issues until he was older. In the history books, he has the shortest reign and lifespan of any king, dying at the age of twenty-four to a heart attack about six years after he reclaimed the throne.

ELISVEN SKYLARK

She is the last of six children total born to King Talieisin and Queen Vietna, and she is the twin sister of Aeris. Being born a woman, she was excluded from the line of succession and therefore was never expected to become the monarch.

Elisven is curious by nature and yearns to learn what her brothers are taught, but growing up she was only educated in "accomplishments" such as singing and playing instruments. Her brother Aeris luckily let her in on what he was learning, and she even got a seat in his classes for a time, taking notes for him when his arm was broken.

She becomes the first queen regnant in her kingdom's history, but this doesn't come to her easy.

GARETH ASTRA

He is the oldest brother of Kaylien (Radan's mother). Although he's more of a minor character in the story, he's one of my favorites.

Gareth was dutiful, and he was also loving and devoted towards his family, especially his younger siblings. He was rather protective of them, but never in an overbearing sort of way.

He was the rock of the family, and Kaylien's biggest supporter and confidant. She was utterly distraught upon learning of his death.

ZENOBIA

She was one of the archangels originating from either the first or second age (not quite sure yet, but she's older than most of those around during Guinevere's origin life).

One of the greatest archangels in history, she surpassed nearly all others in terms of power and beauty. She was an exemplary fighter, though this did not come to her naturally.

She is one of the few archangels to ever consider having a romantic relationship with a mortal, and she had many lovers throughout her lifetime, including the founder of the ancient House Harper.

Send me a letter of the alphabet A-Z, and if I have an OC starting with that letter, I’ll tell about them.
