Artemis1212

I named him that as well!! I find the meaning of it so fitting


UniquePhilosopher749

I named him Arashi. The name can both mean “storm” as well as “a new heart” depending on the kanji used. 嵐 for Storm and 新心 for a new heart but both are read as Arashi.


EllyNelly97

Mine is also named Arashi! I only knew the storm meaning from learning Shibori dye patterns in fabric dye class at school. The other meaning of new heart is also extremely fitting


UniquePhilosopher749

Whoah nice to see someone who appreciates names with deeper meanings. My first time reading about Shibori dye though, seems interesting. I also remember that there was this thing on the official Genshin page last year listing names that players who named wanderer arashi and out of the millions it was only in the double digits too so it added more to the uniqueness


EllyNelly97

That's super cool! Makes his name a litte extra special :D


JakeMattAntonio

Named him the same name for the same reasons hahahaha


InspectionNervous971

Thanks, I never renamed him since. I really like that name

Mine is also named Arashi! Meaning wise, same explanation for the choice. But I also just love Arashi from Ensemble stars, lol.


Affectionate_Seat_35

Same here. But now every time Wanderer appears in game with the name Arashi, I can’t help but think of the one from Enstars

tornbedsheetGhost_27

Named him Kunimitsu, which by my small rrsearch means "country's light" as an opposite to Kunikuzushi, which means country destroyer I think the similarities serves to kinda poetically keep him bounded to his past life and mistakes, but giving it a new light(pun intended) and a chance to create a better version of his own in his new life :]


SunnyPeach87

I like how you still kept ‘Kuni’ in his name. I like the light added too. When I finish the quest, I think I’ll pick this name - thanks for giving me a name that resonates with him and really puts him in a new light😊

Vimala. A step along the bodhisattva path, in some Buddhist traditions. This state is one in which the adherent aspires to embody purification, compassion, and perfected morality.

Wanderer. The reason: his whole quest was about him seeking his own identity and rejecting the names people have given him and the how those names dictated who he was meant to be. So I felt that it wasn't my right to give someone who's trying to figure out who they want to be another name he didn't choose, and let him figure that one out on his own. If he thinks deeply about it and wants to call himself Arashi or Bob or x_babygirl_sombrero69_x later, at least it'll have been his own choice.


ainhoawind

Alizeh, persian for “trading winds”


KrnPrsd

Astraeus. (tl:dr it’s related to my Traveller’s name. You don’t need to read below, but I had fun choosing the name and wanted to write it out somewhere) The main reason I chose it was because my Traveller’s name is Zephyr, so I wanted something that was related. Zephyr refers to the Greek god Zephyrus, the Western Wind. I decided since it was canonically my Traveller choosing the name, he would choose a name that had meaning/importance to him. I would’ve named Wanderer after the North wind to signify his connection to the Fatui (the North wind represents cold, winter, and stormy weather), but the name is Boreas, which felt too similar to Andrius for me. So after looking around the Greek family tree, I found Astraeus. For one, I think the name sounds really fitting. He is the father of the four winds, and is himself the god of dusk, and of stars and astrology as well. He was also one of the titans who waged war on the gods, which I found quite suitable. For some related fun facts, the four winds are collectively known as the Anemoi, and Zephyrus’ Roman equivalent name is Favonius!

Lol I object to the 0s. I named him after a lyric from Bohemian Rhapsody, which pretty much explains his entire backstory.

cWon_wasabi

mafuyu (the one from project sekai). she basically is represented exactly like scara while her story is the polar opposite of his, while also looking just like him. they're both depicted as puppets that only exist because of their mother's selfishness, where one was abandoned by her and the other is completely controled by her. scara doesn't want to have any feelings but struggles because he does have them, while mafuyu wants to be her "real self" but can't feel anything other than emptyness. mafuyu is getting help because of her friends that want to save her, scara is sinking further in loneliness because he thinks he doesn't need friends. they both think that the only way of finding peace in life would be by not existing at all with everything they've gone through. they're a spitting image of eachother that can be depicted as mirrors and ying-yang at the same time, and i love both of them with my whole heart. when i found out that we could name scara, i knew i had a job.

Fuushin. It’s not unique ngl lol, but I’m pretty satisfied with it. I first start with the name fujin (wind god) derive from his relation with raiden (raijin - thunder god). But I kinda want to include his relationship with isshin clan, so it becomes fuushin, which means heart of wind. This meaning also fit with him currently, he got an anemo vision and it kinda acts as the heart he had always been searching


Aggravating-Bug-8761

Kyujen If i remember right it means Prince of the moon in some maya languaje, his splash art has a "moon" made out of anemo, plus fits a los more if you think that the only other artificial playable character(we dont talk about raiden) is albedo and he has a "sun" on his splash art Hope my english is decent enought


YrdoomZ

bubblegumpunk69

I went with Enlil. He was the Mesopotamian God of air, wind, and storms, and he was the head of the Sumerian pantheon. Edit to add: he was also assimilated into being a lot of Gods as time went on. One of the earliest gods he became was Ba’al, God of Storms.

Akira Gave him this name for 2 reasons: 1. A reference to the movie - Akira has immense powers & is very strong in the story 2. I wanted a Japanese name. Akira can mean "bright" (明) or "light" (光) in Japanese, in contrast to his creator's name Ei (影) which means "shadow".

Kasideci Meaning: It's a Turkish name, "Kaside" is a form of poem. Euology to be exact, and Euology poem means, "a poetic form of expression that laments or mourns a loved onea poetic form of expression that laments or mourns a loved one". Kasideci is the possesive form of it.


dentedwing

Lifeweaver (yes after the overwatch character) Was panicking over what to name him. picked this and came up with a bullshit answer for it. Bullshit answer: He chose to end his life in Irminsul and then he chose to regain his memories. In some sense you can say he wove his own life (I know there were lots of external factors 😭) I mean I guess it kinda fits in that he decided to become the Wanderer and do what he's doing now right?...


SupersSoon

Scara. ​ I actually renamed him to that. It's the only one that genially makes me think of the character.

I named mine Tadashi because it feels fitting with how much he valued his past relationships. Tadashi means “faithful servant” or “faithful person.” He was betrayed by people we was willing to be faithful and loyal to which is why it hurt so much and why he’s more guarded now. This is also the reason why he’s my favorite character. He values stable relationships because it hurts to have people turn their back on you when you tried to do everything you could to keep them around. There was a lot more thought put into this than what I just explained but yeah, I like this name for him. :)


excelsioreye

"Fuurin" Derived from the term Fuurinkazan which directly translates to "Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain", hence Fuurin means "Wind, Forest". Perfectly befitting for Wanderer since he has an Anemo vision (wind) and he currently resides in Sumeru, the nation of Dendro(forest). Also Fuurin is a homage to his origins, since the term is Japanese where Inazuma is referenced from.


Alone-Rise-3617

just Kuni lol


defender_pidge

Mine’s named Furin, not Fujin like a lot of ppl named him. It means Windchime, which does also fit his theme (and the bell sound that plays every 5 goddamn seconds lmao) It’s particularly funny because if I had added an extra A at the end of it, I would’ve inadvertently found out Focalor’s other name like, 6 patches early.

niikiikin

Monsoon. Monsoon season is a period of heavy rain and wind. Wind to represent the Anemo vision, rain is seen as a metaphor for purification, like how Wanderer has been 'purified' so to speak. And, monsoon season is known for being particularly chaotic, like his personality. Is it particularly interesting? No, not in my opinion, there's funnier and more creative names I'm sure. Do I like it a lot? Yes, yes I do.

Makoto 1 Because these posts have been rotting in my mind https://www.reddit.com/r/ScaramoucheMains/comments/yx5f4m/a_sad_lore_theoryheadcanon/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ScaramoucheMains/comments/s8u9i7/scaramouche_and_makoto/ At the time when i was thinking of what id name him. I like the parallels(?) Or similarities that him and makoto share and i always found him different from ei in a way anyway, so this seemed fitting. I also like how raiden shogun is similar to ei not just in physical appearance but also as in with being overly concerned with eternity and doing things in a strict and rigid way, on top of being a great fighter just like ei, and the same for scara with makoto. Although i dont know much about makoto i assume she wasnt much of a fighter like her sister and was just chilling and drinking tea, guess who else chills and drinks tea now YES WANDERER I SWEAR IM NOT CRAZY in eis 2nd story quest wasnt makotos favorite thing to do was to drink tea with someone? And wanderers favorite food is chazuke. Tea with rice dude and other than that makoto with her umbrella and scara with his big ass hat which can be used as an umbrella like cmon. And from what i can guess from scara i would assume she was more into song and dance like scara and preferred to enjoy things in the moment (just god of transience things yass) And doesnt scara have more of an interest in music and dancing? (Sword dancing) and these two and their ideas of transience...they both find the beauty and the grief that comes with it. im horrible at explaining my thoughts but you can see the parallels between the puppets and the original gods themselves and i think its sweet that theres details like that i have beef with ei and her lore as a whole but i think these little details are just so nice 2 Aside from that i know makoto is a unisex name that means truth (and its such a lovely name really..), and its a fitting name for him now even without the knowledge of raiden makoto / scara parallels since hes off doing his own thing now free like a bird living his truth hell yeah go girl have fun I just found makoto to be the perfect name or rather alias for him in every way, and it sounds like a common enough name where he can just blend into the crowd and do his own wanderer wandering stuff. Kinda like john doe but in japanese with a meaning that i find suits him and some sweet sweet pain i mean lore. Yes 🍵


Independent_Role_787

Yoshitaka :D It means righteousness in Japanese (I also found out a random NPC has that name too so I guess that shows my name choice is kinda a canon name 😭)


AbyssalBroker_18

I ended up calling him Duwneb (Dew-neb). In Welsh the word itself means godhead. Its a nod to where he was ultimately stored in his robot god body. But if you separate the words into Duw Neb, it translates into Nobody's God. Through in the fact that Welsh is a Celtic language and there is a lot of subtle Celtic symbology across the world he changed to become the wanderer and I just thought it worked

Kei I was originally gunna name him Bei because Ei's name sounds like 'A' and Bei would be sorta like the successor with 'B' but after a few minutes thinking it only sounded like Bae. So I named him Kei, a small mix of Kunikuzushi and Ei. I still have the rename paper so I might change it... some day...

Rohan. In Sanskrit it means ascended one. Its my nickname that my aunt gave me and I gave it to Wandy. I also named my Traveler Rohan but recently I changed his name to WorkHarduLazy.
