Balian is a very noble name. In fact the idea that it IS NOT traditional is what I like most about it.

Balian did in fact play a crucial role as a Crusader noble in the events surrounding the fall of Jerusalem in 1187 to the Muslim sultan Saladin. FYI for those who think he was a fictional name in a movie.
