This is the page for the onomatology of Howlgard and its residents.

Howlgard[edit | edit source]

  • Howl - The sound wolves and other such animals make sometimes. Used in this context to represent werewolves.

Vargheim family[edit | edit source]

  • Varg - Swedish for "Wolf".
  • Heim - German/Norwegian for "Home".
  • Anton - The name Anton has several meanings in different languages. In Greek and Swedish, it means "priceless". In Latin it means "worthy of praise; of value" and in English it means "Highly praiseworthy".
  • Deanna - This name is derived from English and Latin. In English it refers to a person from a valley, or it suggests that the person is divine. In Latin it has similar connotations, though it also means "fertile".
  • Elizabeth - Greek, first originating from Hebrew; means "Oath of God".
  • Ryan - A Gaelic name. Means "Little king". Fitting for a child that is meant to eventually take leadership of Howlgard.

  • Reliksonn - Play on the word 'relic'. Unknown how this relates to the family, though.

  • McTalin - "Mc" is the Scottish prefix meaning "Son of". Talin is a variation of the word "Talent", attributing to the skilled jobs held by Malcolm and Tina.
  • Malcolm - A Scottish/English name, meaning "Disciple of Saint Columba".
  • Tina - A name originating from several European languages. Meaning is ambiguous.
  • Nora - Short for Honora, which ultimately came from the Latin name Honorius, which means "Honour".
