In my WIP, Adventures of the Last Aygiff, the names of my characters, depending upon their race, stems from different ancient cultures. Each race is based off a different culture; for instance, the main character is an Aygiff (an animal shape-shifter), and all Aygiff's derive their names from ancient Babylonian names. A flying race get their name from ancient Egypt, a race of empaths get their names from the Native American tribe, Apache.
I love the creativity this allows me, especially since I can base the names off of what the name means in the ancient language (example, one character is named Accalia - a white wolf who becomes a companion to the main character. Her name literally means she-wolf in Latin.) I have been using the website, behind the names .com for the meanings and naming ideas
Ancient Names - Behind the Name
It is a great resource, but for some of the races, I will be running out of good names soon and was wondering if anyone else had a good resource for names, their meanings, and where they came from.
