Your fave Ambiguous Origin/Culture Names?

What are yours? I'm in love with names with unclear origins. Like they could have been taken from somebody who stepped into our world from another and never gave a meaning for their name. Fantasy and sci-fi names.

Please tell me in the comments below. I will add mine when I have the time.
