Sky Armor Names

[Olo]

I was telling my fiance about this game, and I mentioned the names of the Sky Armors, and we started talking about where the names come from. I was wondering if anyone else had any insight. Here are the ones we know...

- Merlin is from King Arthur, of course.
- Kerberos is another way to spell Cerberus, from Greek/Roman mythology.
- Agamemnon & Paris are both from The Illiad / The Battle of Troy.
- And Balthasar, Caspar, & Melchior, the three Seraph armors mentioned in the lore, are named after the three magi who visited Jesus when he was born. (I also saw someone else on her say that there are three characters from Chrono Trigger with the same names. So maybe Chrono got them from the Bible and this game gets them from Chrono.)

But I'm not sure about Ovelia & Dayajir.

The only Ovelia I know of is the princess from the original Final Fantasy Tactics.

And a Google search for Dayajir only gives me results about Chained Echoes.

Anybody else have any ideas about those two?

Ovelia is also a variant of Ophelia, which is a character from Shakespeare's Hamlet and a minor villain in the anime Claymore. Might be something of a cross-section of all of those - it's obvious the dev took some inspirations from FFT in other places, there's cheeky references to Shakespeare in the game through Victor, and Claymore's Ophelia looks like a loose visual inspiration for the armor[static.wikia.nocookie.net], being a cape-wearing sword-lady.

Dayajir, I have no idea. I can't find any connection to Anubis, Egypt, or jackals through the name. Plugging it into Google translate detects it as the African Hausa language, "daya jir" meaning "one day", or Somali, "dayaj ir" meaning "be careful", both of which seem like a stretch. Probably just a name he used personally for a D&D character or came up with on the fly.

Paris is also probably a reference to Romeo and Juliet. Paris is the name of the suitor Juliet’s parents pressure her to marry, similar to Van in this story. Paris is the frame Glenn is given by default.

The black sky armor pilot’s name being Endahrt is also interesting, because the word “endart” is also used in Romeo and Juliet when Juliet essentially tells her parents I’ll only flirt with Paris if I like him. I suspect Endahrt could be Timothy.
