bewareoftofumonster's Personal Name List

Feminine form of Asterios (see Asterius). In Greek mythology Asteria was a daughter of the Titans Phoebe and Coeus.

Derived from αστερ (aster) meaning "star, starry". It is the name of a star-nymph daughter of the sun-god Helios.

Probably intended to mean "star lover", from Greek ἀστήρ (aster) meaning "star" and φίλος (philos) meaning "lover, friend". This name was first used by the 16th-century poet Philip Sidney in his collection of sonnets Astrophel and Stella.

Means "assumption" in Spanish. This name is given in reference to the assumption of the Virgin Mary into heaven.

Breton name of uncertain origin and meaning.
It is sometimes linked to Breton enor "honor", a theory which goes back to the fact that Saint Azénore is occasionally rendered as Honora in Latin texts. Another theory, however, links this name to Eleanor (via Aenor, which is occasionally considered a contracted form of Azenor. Compare also Aanor), while yet another theory was put forth that Azenor might in fact represent an unknown Celtic name, possibly one containing the theonym Esus.

In Breton legend it is borne by the mother of Saint Budoc, a 6th-century princess of Brest (however, the name Eleanor was not coined until the 12th century). It was used for a character in Paul Le Flem's opera Le Rossignol de Saint-Malo (1938) and also occurred briefly in the French TV series Kaamelott (as Azénor).

The name of a naiad of a well or fountain in the region of Pisa in Elis, Greece. Her name is ultimately derived from δαναίος (danaios) meaning "long lived".

Means "snowdrop (flower)" in Welsh, a compound of eira "snow" and llys "plant".

Latinized form of Greek Γαλάτεια (Galateia), probably derived from γάλα (gala) meaning "milk".

According to some sources, this was also the name of the ivory statue carved by Pygmalion that came to life.

Means "my reward is God" in Hebrew. This name appears in the Old Testament belonging to a son of Pedahzur. It was also borne by a 1st-century Jewish priest and scholar, mentioned in Acts in the New Testament as a teacher of Saint Paul.
