Etymology (ετυμον (etymon) -true sense + λογος (logos) -word, explanation) analyses origin of word and from which words did it derive not actual use/meaning of words.
Meanings are mostly not literal they hint on certain aspect like: Luciana (light) enlighted, she liked knowledge, Tangar (border on) was on half of game, Merthuns (wine) Merthuns cave had purple floor, Mizabrandeau (moan, mutter) box of moanings, Orn (decorate) had appearance with ornamental like patterns, Adretana (towards net, snare) there were at least two traps in Adretana in which characters died, Mirsen (revere/remarkable old) had old population, Gonda tower (offspring give) had many bosses, Gazo Gazoher (treasure owner) he guarded treasure in pyramid, Tarabulla (disturb, upset by waterbubble) she was fire elemental, Ostarlow (burn low) was minor fire entity cast in spell.

In Laxius games names are mostly from Latin, less from Greek and has few words from other languages like Sanskrit, Spanish, Italian.Some Latin words are: lesser (merum -wine unmixed with water), uncommon (silus -snub nosed) or very rare (cenum -mud, filth), some Greek words are from ancient Greek dialects like τρωμα (trōma) -wound (appears in both Doric and Ionic but not Attic on which classical Greek is based τραυμα (trauma) -wound from classical Greek would be too obvious for players and would look unoriginal.It is important to pay attention to root of word, at least in games grammatical endings are often omited or distorted and names are usually made from two Latin or Greek words.Sometimes changes are phonetic like: aldor>altor, d>t and ostar>ustus, o>u.Uncommon or rare words are used to not be too obvious.
