Character Name
Tiffany
Tiffany Tiffany carries decades of pop-cultural glamour from its 1980s peak — it can evoke superficiality when used by a writer playing on stereotype, or become subversive and interesting when the character turns out to be nothing like the name's shiny exterior promises. Terry Pratchett's Tiffany Aching permanently complicated the name's associations, lending it unexpected depth and grit.

Stephan
“Stephan is the German and Dutch form of Stephen, from the Greek "Stephanos" meaning "crown" or "wreath" — specifically the garland or crown given to victors in athletic or military contests. Saint Stephen was the first Christian martyr (proto-martyr), stoned to death in Jerusalem as recounted in the Acts of the Apostles. The name spread across Europe through the cult of this saint.”
Nikolaus
“Nikolaus is the German form of Nicholas, from the Greek "Nikolaos", composed of "nikē" meaning "victory" and "laos" meaning "people". It thus means "victory of the people". Saint Nicholas of Myra (4th century AD) was a Christian bishop renowned for his generosity, and his legend evolved into the Santa Claus tradition in Germanic and Dutch cultures, where Nikolaus remains the primary name for the gift-giving figure.”
Meda
“Meda is a short form of names such as Medea, Almeda, or Remedia. Medea derives from the Greek, connected to the sorceress Medea of Colchis in Greek mythology, whose name relates to "medesthai" (to ponder, to plan). As a given name Meda has been used in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe as a simplified variant, as well as in some Native American communities. It also appears in the Germanic tradition as a pet form of Mechthild.”
Eulalia
“Eulalia is derived from the Greek "eulalos", composed of "eu" meaning "well, good" and "lalein" meaning "to speak", thus meaning "sweetly-speaking" or "well-spoken". Saint Eulalia of Mérida was a 4th-century Spanish child martyr venerated widely across the Iberian Peninsula, and her name became a beloved hagiographic name in medieval Christian Europe.”
Damion
“Damion is a masculine name, a variant of Damian, derived from the Greek Damianos, possibly from the Greek daman meaning "to tame" or "to subdue," or from the name of the Greek goddess Damia. Saint Damian was a third-century physician martyr venerated alongside his twin Saint Cosmas, whose cult spread throughout the Christian world.”
Helena
“The Latin form of Helen, derived from the Ancient Greek Helenē, probably from helenos meaning "the bright one" or connected to helios, "sun." In Greek mythology Helena was the daughter of Zeus and Leda, whose abduction by Paris sparked the Trojan War. The name was further popularised by Saint Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, who was credited with finding the True Cross.”
