The '''onomatology''' (meaning study of the origin of names) of the Sim characters are sometimes hilarious, but always interesting. Many of the names had been intentionally chosen for etymology reasons. Simmers have found out many of the meanings, although a large-enough portion do not mean as much as the onomatology of others. Some of the names came as a shock, other names didn't seem to have an onomatological relation. Not all of the names were intended for the definitions researched, but it is still interesting (and sometimes coincidental) to see what the name meanings are. 
 
==Onomatology==
'''Goth''': Relates either to medieval times or means "an uncivilized person" or "a person without culture". The Goth name in general has some resemblance, as well. The family seems to be the oldest (making it "medieval") Also it can be a word for someone who likes to dress in black or likes the shadows. 
 
'''Gunther Goth''': Variant of Günther, from Old High German "gund" (battle) and "heri" (army).

'''Susan Burb'''-- (John's paternal grandmother) -- Popular name meaning "lily" or "rose"
