Avatar Name Meanings!

Just for fun! Let’s take a look at the most cited meanings for ATLA names.

Aang - When his name is shown in written form, it is composed of the Chinese characters 安 (ān) meaning "peace, quiet" and 昂 (áng)meaning "raise, lift". A fitting name for an airbender who will save the world!

Katara - Taken from the Arabic word قطرة (qatra) meaning "raindrop, droplet". A gentle and poetic name for waterbender who is starting out.

Sokka - Derived from the Japanese phrase “sou ka”, meaning "I understand" or "Is that so?". A reference to both his skeptical and analytical nature, as well as his comic relief.

Toph - Toph was written as 北方拓芙, giving her name the meaning "expanding lotus". The name itself is not a genuine Chinese name, and may have been intended as a pun on the English word "tough". When combined with her last name Beifong, you get “lotus flower expanding northward”, a reference to Toph opening up and making friends, but also because she is from the Southern city of Gaoling and literally travels north with the Gaang.

Zuko - Fictional name written with different meanings in the show. His wanted poster uses 祖 (zǔ) from Chinese meaning "ancestor, forefather" combined with 寇 (kòu) meaning "bandit, robber". Likely meant to portray Zuko as a traitor to his family and people. However, it’s also written as 蘇 (sū) meaning "to regain consciousness" combined with 科 (kē) meaning "sort, class", which is probably the true meaning to his name referring to how Zuko will redeem the Fire Nation and royal family by redeeming himself.

Azula - Fictional name derived from Portuguese, Galician, and Spanish azul meaning "blue" (of Persian origin). A reference to her blue flames.

[ID: A series of GIFs showing the parallels between Azula introducing herself to King Keui in Kyoshi Warrior disguise and Ozai asking Fire Lord Azulon to make him the crown prince over Iroh. The last GIF shows Azula and Zuko peeking through curtains watching Ozai speak to Azulon.]

So me and @waterfire1848 just came up with a crack fic idea.

When Zuko and Katara arrive at the palace during the finale, instead of the agni kai happening, the three of them sit around in a circle trying to figure out how Zuko and Katara managed to cross the globe in a day to get to the Fire Nation.

Zuko got so many unearned chances from the Gaang

Aang trying to befriend him after saving his life ("The Blue Spirit").

Aang saving his life ("The Siege of the North")

Katara offering to help heal Iroh, which Zuko responds to with a blast of fire. Mind you, Zuko had just tried to capture the Avatar five minutes before ("The Chase")

Katara giving him a chance in Ba Sing Se ("The Crossroads of Destiny")

Toph advocating for him and trying to reach out even after the Gaang told her that he was bad news("The Western Air Temple")

Finally getting accepted.

Ultimately, on the sixth chance something caught, after Zuko had burned five chances before. He didn't "want to be redeemed."

Of course, there's also a lot of people who think the Gaang would never give Azula a chance and would always be hostile to her. I point them to this list.

“Hakoda adopts Zuko” “The SWT adopts Zuko” “Hakoda adopts Azula” great great fine BUT WHAT ABOUT

Sokka adopting Azula as baby sis #2

Imagine the potential of her wanting her older brother, but he’s either not around when she realizes it, or she feels too guilty towards him to reach out.

But who happens to be there? Sokka. And he is basically the textbook definition of an older brother.

Honestly I don’t think he’d even question it if Azula came up to him wanting to talk or scream or just be held. He’s done it all for Katara before. What’s one more traumatized murder child to look after?
