The latin root "Lux, Luc" means "Light" Which makes sense for Lux, who is "The Lady of Luminosity" and whos whole kit revolves around light. Also Lucian who weilds weapons of light, like his passive light slinger. "Luc" meaning light and the suffix "ician" meaning specialist. making Lucian a "Light Specialist"
Now, did you guys notice any more words hidden in champion names? :) post them in the comments!
An ivi a. The ivi is an M. M stands for mana. The bird never has mana.

Singed 
is derived from the root word "Sing" or to "Melodize or harmonize using ones voice". Whenever Singed laughs and dances it's like horrible music being spammed for 30 straight minutes.

In German, quite literally, means "Murder Emperor."
Vayne's deal is kind of like Batman, who is Bruce Wayne. Wayne/Vayne...
Some from my favourite champions:
, not only is it the name of a species of shellfish that's been around for millions of years, Nautilus in the English language is a latin adaptation of a greek word, that word meaning sailor. Nautilus himself was a sailor before his transformation.
Nami is of course Japanese in origin and means wave. Tsunami, her ultimate, would be derived from ami (wave) and Tsu, which is its own character.
Vel'Koz's name is weird. In the lore his name is probably Shuriman in origin like most other Voidborn names, but in the real world Vel and Koz are two words that have a lot of religious connotations. Vel is the name of a divine javelin wielded by a Hindu God named Karthikeya, while Koz refers to Descendants of Judah in the Bible. Apparently.
In almost every language(Greek, Polish, Hungarian, Russian, etc), Katarina means pure. I guess you could use this to explain how she feels about Noxus.
"Never question my loyalty. You will never know what I endure for it."
― Katarina
Garen has French and German roots that means "guard" or "guardian." Pretty appropriate when you consider his role in the game is to tank damage and his role in the lore is the leader of the Dauntless Vanguard.
may or may not be a reference to Nana, one of the Ice Climbers which greatly resembles her/him (still not sure of Nunu's gender).
A friend who didnt play league at the time and i were talking and i told her a champions name was Lux, and she was like "that means light in Latin." and it blew my fuckin mind because i knew lux was a light mage.
Ekans is snake spelled backwards!
Noc is latin for night
Pantheon is the group of ancient Greek gods that live on Mount Olympus
Udyr is an anigram for Rudy, who was a player deemed too small to be able to play college football, keep going, and nothing could stop him. Just like nothing can stop Udyr
Zac stands for Zaun Amorphous Combatant
While his name is german, if the parts are latinized, you get "death Emperor" So he's basically the king of death
, lux(lx) is also the SI unit of illuminance.
i like this posting. always interesting the origin of names
Sion has something hidden. His name starts with the same letter as Shrek. Sion is love, Sion is life!
We've got Light and a Light Specialist - Where's Lucifer? Someone had to bring all this light up in here
- Name of (one of) the Empire's Asassin groups in Malazan Book of the Fallen ~ coincidence?
