So jumping back to some of the data that galm fae and I came up with for the 'loyalty rank names' thread and linguistic influences

Caldari = Japanese influences
Gallente = Greek influences (chaotic beings)
Amarr = Abrahamic language influences, though latin names end up being favored because charlegmange.
Minmatar = Norse language influences.

For caldari I would suggest Raiju (lightning-beast), Nue (Japanese chimera).
For minmatar I'd suggest names of norse dragons, giants, animals or spirits. Jotunn, Fafner, Vaettr
For gallente I'd suggest names of greek influence either focusing on armor, military or 'chaos' themes, so stuff like Kataphrakt (heavily armored cavalry), xiphos/kopis (Spartan short swords), Hoplon/Aspis (Spartan shield)
For amarr it's a bit harder to pin, they like themes of light, fire, religion and judgement, or things that promote their own nobility. Words like Malik (king), Sarak (overseer), Batal (champion) would all be pretty appropriate, making their tanks all sound like kings of the battlefield.

The Assyrian term Asir/ Ashir also means "overseer" with a direct relevance to the Gods. Specifically I one I found was Asur.

As I mentioned in the other threads I could suggest something originating out the our own cultures that have developed in the deserts and arid regions of the world. Amarrish is displayed in many different forms from latin to script based like Arabic writings and such. I've also heard it described as something like Castillian or Judaic Spanish with influences from both Europe and the central east.

Anshar/Anshur - which means "sky pivot" which is comprised of the terms An "heaven" and Shir/Shur "horizon"
Kishar/Kishur - which means "earth pivot" or where the earth ends an is comprised of Ki "earth" and Shir/Shur "horizon"
it also means "whole earth"
Kur - Which means "great land", "great mountain", and referenced the Sumerian first "ever dragon" but also refers to the Underworld.
An-Kur - which I simply refers to "great holy land", "great holy mountain", and "divine ever dragon" (as a fire belcher I thought this was fitting.
Livyatan- the old Hebrew term for Leviathan
Liwyatan- Tiberian for Leviathan meaning "coiled, snaking"
Karkadan/ Kargadan/Kharga - which references and Arabic parallel to the unicorn which was violent and carnivorous and is often depicted as a rhinoceros
Usumgal (Usumgalu) - Sumerian in origin meaning "great dragon"
Musmahhu - Sumerian in origin meaning "exalted dragon"
Marduk - Was a deity of the storms and an Usamgalu
Thallath - referencing the ocean was a term used when describing something monstrous of the oceans.
Sharur- is a legendary mace from Mesopotamian mythology with the ability to exorcise Shedu
Shedu- Storm Demons from mythology

I have more but I am trying to work through them all.

Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 18392	Posted - 2015.01.22 07:32:00 - [1] - Quote Dear Community I do know that we are in a state of doing many wonderful and new things; So while we are touching up on stuff we can maybe take a chance take a serious look at the names of some objects in Dust 514 and ensure consistency with the universe that it belongs in New Eden. The opportunity to correct some naming conventions is coming pretty soon for a whole category within Dust 514. Vehicles and I invite all of you lore nuts to help out. https://forums.dust514.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2583382#post2583382 As mentioned here we going to be introducing a whole bunch of new toys and the sorts. So in order to help out; I am gathering information for two things for suggestion. 1. Vehicle Progression Series Naming Convention Similar to how Dropsuits are named with AK.0 A/1 and A-1 for progress; we need to ask the same question for vehicles when they are being introduced in a manner. Do we name them all different hulls or do we go the route of the drop suits or do we do something completely different? Based on the Proposal by CCP Rattati as of 1/22/2015 the Gallente HAV line-up would look like this Militia (MEDIUM) HAV - Soma (MBT) Standard HAV - Madrugar (MBT) Adv HAV - ??? (MBT) Proto HAV - ??? (MBT) Standard Solo HAV - ??? (MBT) Adv Solo HAV - ??? (MBT) Proto Solo HAV - ??? UHAV - Surya DHAV - Vayu So how do we go about naming all of them? A few suggestions include: -Unique Names to all Hulls -Series Naming, Solo HAV series gets a new name, Conventional G-1, G/1, Gk.0 to be used for series. -Dual Series, Solo HAV adopts Madrugar as its name but G-2, G/2, Gk.1 to be used for its series. or a suggestion of your own. Then for our second part. Naming the Vehicles; We have the following categories to start gathering names for Caldari Ground Vehicles - is included on this list because they are all named after weapons a clear break away from normal caldari naming conventions throughout all of new eden. Names of caldari vessels often follow animal naming conventions in both reality and mythos. 1. LAV - Militia - Military 2. HAV - Militia - Military - DHAV - UHAV Amarr Vehicles - (insert guideline) 1. LAV - Militia - Military 2. HAV - Militia - Military - DHAV - UHAV 3. DS - LDS - ADS and finally Minmatar Vehicles - (insert guideline) 1. LAV - Militia - Military 2. HAV - Militia - Military - DHAV - UHAV 3. DS - LDS - ADS CPM 1 Omni-Soldier, Forum Warrior \\= Prototype Forge Gun=// Unlocked

So far caldari generally favors things that fly to which makes sense considering the spaceships also fly. It would not be a long shot for ground vehicles to be named after things that occupy that space. They have affinity for snakes, birds, and dip into species of mythological animals particularly ones that do not belong to specific deities and are just there part of the natural or mythological world. Humanoid creatures are often avoided for the most part so far. Also mind you the caldari name things after their 'modern' animals. A kitsune for example is a snake found on achuran homeworld that uses hypnosis on its prey similar to cuttlefish though unfortunately there is no list of animals readily available. This is probably why any mythological beings used in caldari line up has to be a species like deal. Chimeras, kitsune, Tengu, Roks, Drakes, Wyverns, Leviathans, Animals like Slephnir, 4 horses of the apocalypse, Mythological animals of higher importance fall to gallente. Why Japanese influence? Same as the other races; has more to do with ancestry and how they managed to preserve SOME of the old culture. Achuran are descendants of the Japanese people and have ever since they joined the state have been a growing influence on the government and military affairs of whole.

Ashir sounds like it would be a better name for a logistics vehicle of some sort. Perhaps Logistics Dropships when they return and we get AmDSs...?

Fish just seem fitting for some reason... >There are a good amount of legendary Nordic weapons to name Minmatar stuff after... just a suggestion. Gungnir. Gram. Mjolnir. Tyrfing... Honestly..... GOD NO. Who in the name of Amarr wants to drive a Heideran or a Jamyl? There's got to be a few decent sounding Imperial names... And if there isn't, we make some **** up! There are 1000s of years with of Amarrian culture that still hasn't been completely covered, and hundreds of Emperors we don't know the names of. Surely we can make up some awesome sounding names... And who would name something after after the current leader? That's just bad taste. You always name them in memory... No Jamyls will be driving around. Dano Gheinok, the founder of the Amarr religion, reign years unknown. Amash-Akura, the founder of the Empire, reign years unknown. Molok the Deceiver, an usurper, reign years unknown. [not a true emperor] Zaragram II, 21346 AD - 21460 AD. Damius III, 22462 AD - 22626 AD. Velenus IV, 22626 AD - 22729 AD. Heideran VII, 23041 AD - YC 105. Doriam II, YC 105 - YC 107. Dochuta Karsoth, YC 107 - YC 110. [usurper and Blood Raider filth] None strike me as particularly good tank names....plus the naming tanks after people is a murican thing.

Hurrr? Where? NPC ranks and I believe one of their still unique to them frigates is also another. Angels almost have enough unique ships to be a 5th race; second closest would now be the jovians.
