ArchivesRe: A question regarding elemental names
in reply to a message by Tiki
Unfortunately your options are pretty limited.
Marina is a name used in Russia, of which one of the possible origins is Latin #marinus# meaning "of the sea". A masculine version, Marin, is found in many Slavic languages, but not commonly found in Russia.
Ignacio is a Spanish name that ultimately originates from an alteration of the name Egnatius. The alteration was made so the name would resemble Latin #ignis# meaning "fire". The feminine form is Ignacia.
Some Germanic names contain the Germanic element #land#, which means (surprisingly enough) "land", which could relate to earth, assuming you are the person who was asking about elemental names. Among those used in Germany, albeit not often, are Roland and Lambert. There is another Germanic element, #erd#, which translates better as "earth".
The name George in part derives from a Greek element, #ge# meaning "earth" (the element is present in many English words such as GEography, the study of Earth. The German form is Georg, also its Low German form, Jürgen, is an option.
