Other Code Geass Names..

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...

Suzaku refers to the phoenix most likely.

From wiki:

The Vermilion bird is one of the Four Symbols of the Chinese constellations. According to Wu Xing, the Taoist five-elemental system, it represents the fire-element, the direction south, and the season summer correspondingly. Thus it is sometimes called the Vermilion bird of the South and it is also known as Suzaku in Japan and Jujak in Korea.

Yep...Suzaku is one of the Four Guardians, together with Genbu - Black Tortoise (yes, that Kururugi Genbu), Byakko - White Tiger and Seiryuu - Azure Dragon. In Japanese myth, Suzaku is a...goddess ._.

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. 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: ....
