Line 98:
* '''[[Arty Loste]]''' (Kristen's father): A diminutive of Arthur which is derived from the Roman last name "Artorius," which could possibly be derived from the Celtic patronym ''Arto-rīg-ios'' meaning "son of the bear" or "warrior king."
* '''[[Daisy Loste]]''' (Kristen's mother): Derived from the Old English ''dæges ēage'' meaning "day's eye," referring to the fact daisies open in the morning and close at night.
* '''[[Goshem Loste]]''' (Kristen's paternal grandfather): Possibly a curruption of "Goshen" which refers to the "Land of Goshen," the place in Egypt given to the Hebrews by the pharaoh of Joseph
* '''[[Vera Loste]]''' (Kristen's paternal grandmother): Borrowed in the nineteenth century from the Russian virtue name Вера, means 'faith'. Or could mean Very lost
* '''Simnitch''' -- 'Nitch' a common misspelling for 'niche', means 'nest'. So perhaps the name means 'A Sim's Nest'.
