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, and the land from which they later left Egypt at the time of the Exodus. As in " Gosh I'm Lost", considering he got abducted by aliens.
* '''[[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'.
