Throne of Glass Series

Will continue to add names as I read through the series! Currently finished with two of out of six.
  1. Archer
    • Origin:

      English
    • Meaning:

      "bowman"
    • Description:

      Archer is an Anglo-Saxon surname that feels more modern than most because of its on-target occupational and Hunger Games associations. And it's a nice way to bypass the clunky Archibald to get to the cool nickname Archie.
  2. Aedion
    • Aelin
      • Arobynn
        • Asterin
          • Bannon
            • Origin:

              Irish
            • Meaning:

              "descendant of the small white one"
            • Description:

              This two-syllable Irish surname is as appealing as Nolan, Keegan et al, but much less common.
          • Briar
            • Origin:

              English
            • Meaning:

              "a thorny patch"
            • Description:

              Fairy-tale memories of Sleeping Beauty inspire some parents—such as Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen—to call their daughters Briar Rose. But Briar plus a different middle name might work even better. It's one of the newly popular nature-word names, charting in the US for the first time in 2015 for both genders.
          • Clarisse
            • Description:

              Clarisse is a feminine name of French origin derived from the Latin name 'Clara,' meaning 'bright,' 'clear,' or 'famous.' It's the French variation of Clarice, carrying the same elegant and refined qualities. Throughout history, the name has maintained a classic appeal while never becoming overly common. In literature, the name gained some recognition from Ray Bradbury's novel 'Fahrenheit 451,' where Clarisse McClellan is a free-thinking, insightful character. The name has a delicate, sophisticated sound that combines traditional charm with a touch of uniqueness. While not among the most popular names in English-speaking countries, Clarisse continues to be chosen by parents who appreciate its graceful, timeless quality and French flair.

It literally means "of Doris," a Greek district, or "of Doros," referring to the son of Helen of Sparta.

              • Elide
                • Description:

                  Elide is a feminine name with Italian and Greek roots. It likely derives from ancient Greek elements meaning "sun" or "radiant," or may be related to the Greek mythological figure Elidis. In Italian usage, it can be a variation of Elodie or a feminine form of Elidio. The name has remained relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries but has modest usage in Mediterranean regions, particularly Italy. Elide has a delicate, melodic quality with its soft consonants and vowel ending, giving it an elegant and sophisticated character. Those named Elide are sometimes associated with brightness, warmth, and creative expression.
              • Evalin
                • Description:

                  Evalin is a feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Evelyn or Evaline. The name has Germanic origins, derived from the elements "ave" (desired) and "lind" (tender, soft), though it's now associated with the more common Evelyn. This spelling variation gives the name a slightly different visual presentation while maintaining the same melodic quality. Evalin was occasionally used in the late 19th and early 20th centuries but remains uncommon today. The name has a gentle, vintage charm that appeals to parents seeking traditional names with slight modifications. With the resurgence of Evelyn in popularity, Evalin offers a related but more distinctive alternative.
              • Evangeline

                  Greek

                • Description:

                  Evangeline is a romantic old name enjoying a major comeback, thanks to its religious overtones, Eva's popularity, and the star of the TV megahit Lost, Evangeline Lilly. Evangelia and Evangelina — two variants of Evangeline — are sure to tag along for the ride.
              • Faline
                • Origin:

                  Popular culture, Latin
                • Meaning:

                  "catlike"
                • Description:

                  For many, this is a Disneyfied name: Faline was the sweet doe Bambi fell in love with. The name is possibly based on Feline, a Latin name meaning "cat-like", however other sources suggest it comes from the French faon meaning "fawn", combined with the suffix -line. It is pronounced as FUH-LEEN in French and English or as fah-LEE-nuh in German, and was given to 7 girls in the US in 2024.
