NAME ETYMOLOGIES, DAENERYS' WILL SHOCK YOU!!!
Hey Guys okay so i was being an insane nerd scrolling through DJP's Valyrian glyph lexicon and remember how Aegon comes from Aegion (iron)? I Have Found More. I'm not sure if it's me looking for patterns where there are none, but here are my guesses:
JAE-, as in JAEHAERYS and JAEHAERA
jaes, which variably means 'deity', 'god', 'goddess', 'gods' making it a theophoric religious name, or jaedos, meaning 'summer'
BAE-, as in BAELOR, BAELON, BAELA
baelagon, which variably means 'help' 'assist' and 'aid', or baes, which can mean 'top' or 'apex' or 'apex' or 'zenith'
RHAEN-, as in RHAENYRA, RHAENA, RHAENYS
rhaenagon, meaning something like 'meet' 'discover' 'seek' 'encounter' 'find' and 'know', and also 'begin' according to the high valyrian wiktionary
(I'm unsure if names like Rhaegar or Rhaella, without an N, still stem from this)
RAEL-
raelagon, meaning variously 'love' 'cherish' 'jealous' 'keep' 'maintain' 'revere' and 'pawn'
(This fits the name 'Rhaella' better, but begins with R- and not RH-)
NAE-, as in NAERYS, or a feature in names such as DAENAERA
naejos, meaning 'breast', 'chest', 'front, and 'pecs'
(a little funny, but does conjure feminine associations)
AEN-, as in AENYS
aeny/aena, meaning 'support' 'brace' and 'buttress'
(refrain from making any aenys/anus and buttress jokes)
VAE-, as in VAEGON
vaedar, meaning 'cash', 'silver' and 'coin'
LAE- as in LAENOR, LAENA
laes, meaning 'eye'
and finally DAE- as in DAERON, DAEMON, DAENA, DAENYS, AND DAENERYS
daez, meaning 'free' 'freedom' and 'liberty'
