Line 99:
* '''[[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. This name in combination with Loste sounds like "Gosh, I'm lost" which is fitting considering he was abducted by aliens.
* '''[[Vera Loste]]''' (Kristen's paternal grandmother): Of Russian or Latin origin. It coincides with the Latin ''verus'' meaning "verity." In Russian, ''vera'' means "faith."
* '''Simnitch''' -- 'Nitch' a common misspelling for 'niche', means 'nest'. So perhaps the name means 'A Sim's Nest'.
* '''[[Leonard Simnitch]]''' (Kristen's maternal grandfather): Derived from the Old High German name "Leonhard," from ''levon'' meaning "lion" and ''hardu'' meaning "brave" or "hardy." It may also be derived from the Latin ''leo'' meaning "lion."
