I had been toying with the idea of writing an article on the Spriggan 12. I dropped it later but while researching I found out some interesting tidbits about them. One of those was that some of them have very appropriate names. eg.
Ajeel: His name apparently means "quick" in Arabic. Ramal comes from Arabic raml which means "sand".
August: Means "respected and impressive."
Bradman: The romanji for his name is Buraddoman which is similar to and was initially translated as Blood Man. His power seems to be a bit like bloodbending.
Brandish: Means "to flourish (something) threateningly or angrily"
Jacob: Jacob Frye, Master Assasin of the British Brotherhood of Assasins, Assasin's Creed.
Wahl: The romanji for his name is Waru Ihito. Warui hito means "bad person" in Japanese. I actually prefer the initial translation of his name- Badd Mann.

Serena's name feels wholly inappropriate to me. And I don't have any info on Dimaria, Invel and Neinhart in this regard. I'm still curious. Can you tell me something more? Also, can you add anything to the ones I already mentioned above?

Interesting.

I think the spelling was Neinheart. So heartless perhaps (from german nein?)

Just a conjecture

Hmm. You have a point. I think you're right. It's Neinhart, but pronunciation of "hart" and "heart" aren't too different. @Chaos_Harbinger also said this awhile ago.

I looked it up. "Hart" means "male deer" in English and "hard" or "harsh" in German.
But here we're also dealing with word that sound similar. So "No Heart" is quite legit.
