ArchivesLooking for a name that combines the elements
Does anyone know of any name, in any language, the literal meaning of which is the combination of all four of the classical elements, earth, air, water and fire?
Terraventahydropyr fits the bill, but seems ... a bit much, y'think? ;p Especially since I just made it up.
And I don't want something like Totalis or Universalis, that's just cheating.
Seriously, I really am interested. This is like the holy grail of names for me.
Anyone?

"Errita Fairweather" is an anagram of "earth, air, water, fire"

lawl, y'all
I'm making a mental note of that; that actually could come in quite handy someday. Thank you, dear. :-)

No answer here: but in many philosophies (including, at least, a lot of post-Aristotelian Greek thinking), the `classical' elements is five. You need a quintessence: space or aether or something like that (something stellar in greek, but more mundane in most other schools) in the mix to make it really complete.
But then beware, hold that name tightly lest it fall apart :-) In Sanskrit reaching the state of five (पञ्चत्व) is disintegration in so many words, and, today in some languages, a slightly jocular euphemism for death.
