Maelonis Welsh, comes from an Old Welsh word for prince or leader (mael), and is the name of a legendary prince in the folk tale of St Dwynwen: https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Dydd_Santes_Dwynwen
It's very uncommon as a modern Welsh name, quite probably because of the legend.Artis as a surname is probably derived from Artois: http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/artis

The Penguin Book of Hindu Names by Maneka Gandhi says that Hasika is from a Sanskrit word that meant "abloom; smiling; causing laughter."

The literal meaning in Sanskrit is laughter, jester or causing laughter. Abloom is poetic license, I guess :-)

I like Ferelith and I found this before - http://babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com/meaning_of_Ferelith.htmlI don't know what Forbflaith means. The -flaith element could be princess as in Orfhlaith. I wonder was it spelled Forbhfhlaith.

My internet quest for Ferelith ... caveat emptorThe spellings Forbhlaith, Forbhflaith, Ferneleth, Forflissa, Forueleth, Ferueleth, Forbflaith appear in various places.A reference I've found online citing records of maybe 4 people named:
http://www.medievalscotland.org/scotnames/gaelicgiven/women/forbhlaith.shtmlThis http://www.archive.org/stream/cu31924092516263/cu31924092516263_djvu.txt
claims that Forbhflaith means "perfect princess" ... dunno.
