Apparently Katarina 's name originates from a Doctor Who character...but I don't like Doctor Who!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katarina_(given_name) But I was joking saying that it originated from Doctor Who (which I think is highly overrated) but it says there's a character in Doctor Who named .

Diana Diana, Roman goddess of the hunt, birth, and primarily the Moon. Etymology as may refer to the shine of the Moon.

In hindsight, a terrible name for a Solarii child.

I know nothing about her lore, but what if she took her name after leaving the Solari?

tau43Nov 20, 20141 votes

I don't think so? Though I wouldn't blame her in the least, for all we know the Solari are the ones who put the mark on her forehead.

Morgana is a common feminine variant of Morgan, a popular Celtic name that often translates to 'Sea Chief' or 'Sea Defender.'

Kayle is an extremely rare variant of 'Kayla,' meaning 'Pure One' or 'Full of Joy' in Greek. However, if we derive it from the same language group as Morgana (IE, a Celtic language, in this case Gaelic) its meaning changes to simply 'Slender and Fair.' Which also fits.
