it actually comes from... "Setsuna"
which means "moment"
And the "F" stands for "From" so the full name is "A moment from the holy eternity", playing into his messianic character

>>22594298
>moment
Specifically it comes from a Buddhist term for the shortest possible length of time, something one could call a quantum of time. I have no fucking idea if that's intentional or not, but it's a damn incredible coincidence if it wasn't with all the quantum stuff later on in the show.

>>22594309
>coincidence
Fiction does not have coincidence. It is a product of intention.

>>22594298
>>22594309
Setsuna F. Seiei - aka "a quantum of divinity" - probably doesn't so much refer to Setsuna's messianic character as it does to the fleeting moment of synchronization and reaching understanding. The original divine language that allowed everyone to understand one-another, until some idiot got it into his head to build the Tower of Babel.

Coincidentally; Gundam 00 starts with an attack on an ORBITAL ELEVATOR.
The symbology of coming full circle in the end, is kind of hard to miss.

Noa is derived from a Hebrew word meaning rest and comfort, as alluded to in the book of Genesis during the introduction of Noah (no dictionary needed for this one).

Alphonse is derived from the Gothic words for noble and brave.
It also means pimp in several European languages.

Marida means "She's sick" in Arabic
intentional or not, it's fitting the character

>>22594326
It can be both I think, after all these themes are very closely intertwined

Heero Yuy is a cleverly disguised wordplay on the fact he is, indeed, the hero of the story. Sasuga, Sumizawa!

>>22594326
>Gundam 00 starts with an attack on an ORBITAL ELEVATOR
It starts with Setsuna descending down to earth on behalf of an organization called celestial being which is unhappy with how humanity is behaving and warns them to change their ways or face wrath.

00 is as old testatment as it gets.

Do Amuro Ray or Kira Yamato mean anything?

>>22594507
Amuro was specifically chosen by Tomino in an attempt to create a completely original name that nothing's named after.
It did not take long after the show began airing for someone sent mail asking if the main character is named after that small island off the coast of Japan...

>>22594507
Amuro means 'bright' or 'light'.
So Amuro Ray is literally a ray of light for the future.

Kira also literally means 'to shine'.
He's an Amuro-clone, after all.

>>22594507
>>22594538
The old Fukada interview said Kira came from "killer"

https://aeug.blogspot.com/2003/11/#106964206584707878
>Kira derived from "killer". Yamato is very Japanese. Amuro was "Zerosen" (aka the Japanese WW2 Zero fighter). Kai Shiden was from Shidenkai (another Japanese warplane), but Yamato is very easy.

Noa is comfy and her labor is a brave pimp.
This checks out.

>Name is Vageena
>based on the English word "Vagina"
>which means vagina
well played

>>22595289
Let's not forget AGE gave us names like Yurin and Einus.

>>22595289
But there's four of them. The four vaginas represent the four girls related to Char.

>>22595452
No, it's a joke on "for". As in, his name is "For Vagina". In other words, the kind of fake name an incredibly homosexual person in deep denial would make.

I.e. Kamille is Char's personal choir boy.
Aaand-- suddenly all the homo-lust undertones make INCREDIBLE sense.

if you pronounce vagina in English, yes.
What if you pronounce it in the same romance language Quattro came from?

>>22595431
Great names.

>>22595834
It's Japanese wordplay, and there's a step or two in between from Amuro to "Zero-sen".

>Amuro Ray
>Ray sounds like rei (零)
>rei (零) means zero
>rei sen (零戦) aka Zero-sen refers to the WWII Zero fighter
