Name origins

Character names in Navi are themed after weather-related stuff, for some reason. (They still sound like perfectly normal japanese names for the most part though.) Here's what I got with a quick pass through a dictionary:

  • Asano Kasumi: "Asa no kasumi" = Morning mist. When he's mentioned in Medarot 5, it calls him "Shinonome Kasumi", probably by mistake. "Shinonome" = daybreak, so it's the same idea.
  • Koharubi Hiyori: "Koharu-biyori" = Indian summer
  • Murasame Shiden: "Murasame" = A passing shower, "Shiden" = Purple lightning (flash)
  • Niwaka: "Niwaka ame" = Rain shower
  • Rainy: Pretty self-explanatory
  • Fubuki: Snowstorm
  • Mizore: Sleet
  • Gousetsu: Heavy snow
  • Nyuudou: "Nyuudou-gumo" = Towering cumulus cloud
  • Sekiran: "Sekiran un" = Cumulonumbus cloud
  • Smog: Self-explanatory
  • Kirika: "Kiri" = Fog
  • Raiun: Thunder cloud
  • Kazanbai: Volcanic ash
  • Shizuku: Droplets (of rain)
  • Tsumuji: Whirlwind
  • Soyoka: "Soyokaze" = Gentle breeze
  • Kosame: Drizzle
  • Hecto & Pascal: Hectopascal (barometric pressure unit)
  • Raiu: Thunderstorm
  • Harou: Waves
  • Kikou: Climate
  • Kanbatsu: Drought
  • Kyoufuu: Strong wind
  • Arashi: Storm
  • Tensai: Natural disaster
  • Nadare: Avalanche
  • Shinkirou: Mirage
  • Hyouga: Glacier, or "Hyougai" = Hail damage
  • Hiderin: "Hideri" = Dry weather
  • Tsunami: Tidal wave
  • Shinsui: Flood
  • Amaashi: Passing shower
  • Nigemizu: Mirage
  • Fuusetsu: Wind and snow
  • Kouzui: Flood
  • Gou: "Gouu" = Heavy rain
  • Urin: Rain forest

Others:

  • Aozora Middle School: "Aozora" = Blue sky
  • Mistral: Herp derp

These I haven't figured out yet:

  • Sachi
  • Megumi
  • Amamiya
  • Komechuu

We probably don't need these on the character list itself, but it'd be nice to put on their individual pages when we make them. ~ Kimbles 19:59, 23 March 2012 (MDT)
