The name suggests "the nature of all things" or "she in whom all things are present" — a name for a character of unusual completeness, as if they contain multitudes in their compact form.

Ravilwyn

An invented dark-fantasy name fusing "Ravi-" (from the raven root "hrafn" via Old Norse, or Sanskrit "ravi" meaning sun) with "-wyn," a Welsh suffix meaning "white, fair, blessed." The tension between the raven's dark omen and "-wyn's" brightness suggests a character caught between shadow and light.

Aelyren
