Nisga'l'Haidan Names (Forest Natives)

[Kizmet]

In additon to these suggested names, you can make a name up by combining different 'Haidan' words to create a name of your own. For instance, Kin'Ashu. 'Kin' = 'Cat' & 'Ashu' = 'Spirit' or 'Soul'. So, the name Kin'Ashu means 'Spirit Cat', or 'Cat of the Soul'. Let's try another one. Ebi'Mwe'Sairee'Ashu. This is a long one, with a lovely meaning. 'Ebi' = 'Water', and when combined with 'Mwe' it means 'Ocean' or 'Sea'. 'Sairee' = 'Eternal' or 'Everlasting'. And again, 'Ashu' = 'Spirit'. Together, the name Ebi'Mwe'Sairee'Ashu means 'Spirit that is Eternal as the Ocean'. This name would be given to a child who the shaman indicate is an 'old' sprit, born to fulfill a great destiny and certain to be very wise and a natural Leader. Names this long would normally be reduced to one part of the name, such as 'Ebi' or 'Sairee' in everyday informal talking. Have fun trying to come up with the perfect name to fit your character!
