Other Code Geass Names..

[elly3981.livejournal.com]

If Lelouch means, clever, crafty, and shady, it suits him really well. Though he has a good heart, I can't help but notice that Lulu's a little arrogant and sometimes over confident as well. ; ) But what about the origins of other characters' names such as Nunnally, Kallen, and Rolo? I've never heard of them anywhere else as well...

Could try some baby names sites, I guess..?

I remember Suzaku means, like, vermillion bird or something (...)

Oh, and I once looked up what Euphemia meant... *looks it up again* "Well-spoken". Origin is Greek, hm.

Nunally... can't find anything for her.

Kallen doesn't get anything, but Karen means "pure" according to the site I'm on.

Rolo... means chocolate candy. I dunno, it doesn't have it. *shrug*

I've always associated Euphemia to "euphemism" for obvious reasons. I don't know how correct or how wrong it is, but the meaning fits her in a way.

Clovis - German, means famous fighter; Clovis was the name of the 5th century king of Franks. He united all the Frankish tribes and was their first Christian king.

Cornelia - Latin, means horn. In Ancient Rome, it was the name given to all female children born in the Corneli family, which was one of the most influential families in Rome.

Euphemia - Greek, means well-spoken, as was already mentioned. It is also the name of a Christian saint who was known as the "virgin martyr" (how fitting :V).

Odysseus - Greek, means angry man. Homer's epics, yadda yadda.

Guinevere - Welsh, means fair. Guinevere was king Arthur's wife in many Arthurian legends.

And of course, many of the knightmare names are references to characters from Arthurian legends.

Rolo, if written "Rollo", could be derived from that guy and the name Rolf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rollo). But it's a little far-fetched theory... ^^;;;

I read somewhere that if Rolo were "Rollo" it would be a British name meaning "Famous in the land" D: ....

I was fairly certain Lelouch was french for "the Ladle" and Nunnally was "the Sheathe".

Nunnally is apparently both a masculine given name and a Finnish surname; there's a Finnish-American author and translator named Tiina Nunnally (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiina_Nunnally) and an American director and screenwriter named Nunnally Johnson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunnally_Johnson).

Rolo is norse for wolf, if I'm not mistaken.

It would certainly fit the whole "little wolf in a lamb/sheep's clothing" statement xD

IDK but I've always believed Rolo's name was chosen to match Lelouch and Nunnally's repeated syllables thing (RORO, RURU, NANA)


Also that way his alter ego from BABA theatre gets the name RO-RO-RO (666) which equals the Devil =D
