I have a list of names with interesting meanings. It's been an ongoing project, because I can't (or don't know how to) search for them. I've just added some of Higuma's, though.
Meanings with a beautiful image:
Araceli - altar of the sky
Asherah - she who walks in the sea
Aygül - moon rose
Belinay - reflection of the moon on a lake
Psamathe - sand of the seashore
Badass meanings:
Aella - whirlwind
Angrboða- she who brings grief
Corentin - hurricane
Morana - death, plague
Nausicaa - burner of ships
Unexpected:
Adrastos - not inclined to run away
Calypso - she who conceals
Hitomi - pupil of the eye
Pipaluk - sweet little thing who belongs to me
"Seriously?":
Culhwch - hiding place of the pig
