StormBorn107 Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 Are certain names and words in Stormlight Archive of Indian origin, eg. Navani, Narak, Shallan, Amaram?
Honorless he/him Posted February 12, 2021 Posted February 12, 2021 (edited) Narak means hell, Navani... could mean 9 voices (oh wow, that's inauspicious), I guess? It also sounds close to Navami, which just means ninth. Amaram... could mean an infantry commander in Tamil, that or revenue. Shallan... I can't think of anything. I think a lot of Rosharan words just sound like a lot of South Asian languages. I don't think Brandon had these meanings in mind, just the sounds maybe, they're likely just happy accidents. Oh, I've got another, Kaladin could mean black day. Edited March 7, 2021 by Honorless
