Aww no Zannah on that list 🙁 But she has the best name meaning of all the Sith.

Woah woah, are you saying that 'Maul'... means 'maul'?!

You've got to be f*cking kidding me.

Darth Krul...

Emperordmb, I am a much bigger word nerd than I am a Star Wars geek, so thank YOU for starting the thread.

You are most certainly welcome 😄

I think i found an interesting one.

Meetra Surik. Surik is actually a sword considered to belong to the island of timor. Considered sacred, it was a weapon with supernatural powers, though the strength of the those powers depended on the person that wielded it - in Meetra's case her power depended on the followers she obtained/had. another very interesting thing is that this entire explanation that I've given could also be attributed to the rare lightsaber crystal you find in KoTOR 2.

Also i might get a bunch of "No shit dumbass' but Atris = Taris and Artis for those newbs that didn't know and Canderous's last Name means "Rank, order, Class" in latin 😄

Interesting find Xtasy. I maintain that Surik is a cool last name, but Meetra just sounds ****ing dumb.

Thank you! and lol it is but she's stuck with it lmao

Meetra sounds very South Asian, so perhaps someone thought it would pair well with Surik.

Buddhist tradition has a Bodhisattva named Maitreya who will one day appear to teach the true Dharma at a time when it has been forgotten. Bodhisattvas are persons who achieve enlightenment but postpone going to Nirvana in order to assist and teach others and spread enlightenment.
