Amisia: I personally like the theory that it is from the name of the famed painter Artemisia Gentileschi, taking elements from her first name.

Barzum and Baizli: Derived from Barnum & Bailey, the now closed circus company.

Chahut: Possibly from French chahut meaning “rumpus,” or the verb chahuter, meaning “heckle.” Over meanings can be: uproar, ruckus, pandemonium, etc. 

Charun: Possibly from Etruscan myth, Charun was a psychopomp of the underworld. The Ancient Greek version was Charon, who was also a psychopomp.

Daraya: I believe it is a reference to the name Daria and the character of Daria, they have those same eyes.

Diemen: Possibly from the name of the town Diemen in the Netherlands, which comes from the name of the river Diem? IDK.

?????? Elwurd: Elwurd doesn’t have a first name, but the surname sounds in English like “L word,” which could either mean the L word: lesbian, or the L word: love.

Folykl: Honestly, just sounds like the English word follicle, but it could be derived from folic acid, which is a B vitamin. B is also the second letter in the English alphabet, possibly relating to yellowbloods and duality.

גאַלעך, meaning “priest,” “clergymen” or “minister.”
