On a side note, does anybody know what the Dutch word "Vader" means?
Just wondering.

for Austin Power and Fasser.
Dutch is part of the germanic branch of the indo european language family, or in other words Teutons

a small thought about darth...
in several countries the family name comes first. In relation to this, wasn't Darth Bane's real name Darth Bane?
In that case only the second name needs an explanation.

hey! did you know that Vader means father in several germanic languages? isn't that cool? I bet you'd like to hear it again, just so you remember better! so i'll say it again, Vader means father!
little hint, German, Dutch, and other languages may not exist in this form in the SW canon, so the significance of Vader, Tyranus, Maul, and Sidious might be different. However, based on what Obi-wan calls vader in episode IV, and Darth Bane's name, I still think "Darth" is a proper name

I think the intention is clearly for Darth to be an honorific, not a name.

You all are right... but not exactly
When Sidious gives Anakin the name Vader he will explain to him that HE (Anakin) is the choosen one... The Father... OF THE FORCE
This is Sidious infalting Anakins head and further making him realize that the Jedi were not being truthful to Anakin and were trying to hold him back making Anakin ripe for the turn to the dark side were he will realize his full power
