ArchivesRe: unsure on these- any info
in reply to a message by elbowin
Oculi is the plural form of oculus which means “eye” in Latin. It’s also the name of the third Sunday in Lent.
Doctrove- from what I could glean from the internet, Doctrove comes from a surname, possibly of Dominican origin
Androche- aside from finding it mentioned briefly as the name of place in France (and the name of a character in The Elder Scrolls), I couldn’t find anything. It’s possible that it might be the French form of a Greek name- the first part of the name Andro- reminds me of the Greek element andros- (man, manly), and names such as Andromeda and Andromache. It’s also possible that Androche was created solely for the game, based on the Greek element andros, but that’s guesswork on my part.
Klebert- Klebert seems to come from a surname. It could be a French form of Kleber (like elbowin suggested), meaning “to stick or bind”, an occupational name for someone who applied clay daub or whitewash to buildings. However, the -bert ending reminds me of names like Robert and Albert; the second element -bert comes from a Germanic element meaning “bright, famous”, so it’s possible that the first part of the name also comes from a Germanic element, but I don’t know for certain.
Hope this helps.
