ArchivesRe: i have a habit of picking obscure names
in reply to a message by hylia
Hello Hylia,
Do you at all remember where you first encountered these names that you mentioned? That might help with answering your question. :)
It would also help if you could state which of the names is male, and which of the names is female. Just for the sake of avoiding any possible misunderstandings. :)
With that said, at first glance, Elem looks like it might possibly be a variant form of Elam. Magella reminds me of the surname Magellan, as in: the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan. I have no idea whether Magella is even etymologically related to that, though. There exists a surname of Magello though, so who knows whether someone took that surname and feminized it in order to name their daughter it.
Narimene has a Greek or even Egyptian feel to it (to me, at least) and I have no clue about Dechri.
That's all I can do for you, I'm afraid - but perhaps other people could be of better assistance to you. :)
