Character Name
Sabrina
Sabrina Sabrina is one of the oldest named female figures in British legend — a river goddess murdered and drowned who became the animating spirit of Britain's mightiest river. Milton's Sabrina possesses the particular power of innocence preserved: the guardian who intercedes for the vulnerable against supernatural corruption. The name carries the liminal quality of water itself, the boundary between worlds, and suits characters who move between registers of reality that others experience separately.

It was the name of Pope Sylvester I (314–335 AD), who reigned during the conversion of Emperor Constantine the Great, and Saint Sylvester's feast day on December 31st gives the name its association with New Year's Eve in many European countries.”
Marcellus
“Marcellus is a Latin masculine name, a diminutive of Marcus, ultimately linked to Mars, the Roman god of war — thus "little warrior" or "young follower of Mars." It was a common cognomen in ancient Rome, borne by the general Marcus Claudius Marcellus who conquered Syracuse in 212 BC. In Polish and Slavic contexts the name carries a classical Roman authority.”
Tristano
“The Italian form of Tristan, from the Celtic Drustan (or Drystan), related to the Pictish personal name. The name was later associated by medieval writers with the Latin tristis meaning "sad". Tristano is the Italian form as used in the medieval Italian prose romance Tristano Riccardiano and other Arthurian texts that circulated in Italy during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.”
Toney
“A variant spelling of Tony, itself a diminutive of Anthony/Antonio, from the Latin Antonius, the name of a distinguished Roman gens. The etymology of Antonius is debated — possibly from the Etruscan Antun, or from the Greek anthos (flower). The -ey spelling variant is primarily American, often found in male given names in the American South.”
