Johannes Nauclerus (Naucler, Naukler) ( 1425 – May 1, 1510) was a 16th-century Swabian historian and humanist.
 He was born Johann Vergenhans to a noble (or knighted) man of the same name.
 As was the fashion of the time, the family's name had been Latinized, with "nauclerus", meaning "skipper," being a close translation of "Vergenhans", meaning "ferryman."
 The family's coat of arms depicted a man on a sailing ship.
Amashsai ("Amashai" in the King James Version) was a biblical character.
 The son of Azareel, he was appointed by Nehemiah to reside at Jerusalem and do the work of the temple.
 He merits only one mention in the whole Bible, in Nehemiah 11:13.
Allantide (Cornish: "Kalan Gwav" , meaning "first day of winter", or "Nos Kalan Gwav", meaning "eve of the first day of winter" and "Dy' Halan Gwav", meaning "day of the first day of winter"), also known as Saint Allan's Day or the Feast of Saint Allan, is a Cornish festival that was traditionally celebrated on the night of 31st October, as well as the following day time, and known elsewhere as Allhallowtide.
 The festival, in Cornwall is the liturgical feast day of St Allan (also spelled St Allen or St Arlan), who was the bishop of Quimper in the sixth century.
 As such, Allantide is also known as Allan Night and Allan Day.
 The origins of the name Allantide also probably stem from the same sources as Hollantide (Wales and the Isle of Man) and Hallowe'en itself.
La Niña ( , ] ) is a coupled ocean-atmosphere phenomenon that is the counterpart of El Niño as part of the broader El Niño–Southern Oscillation climate pattern.
 The name La Niña originates from Spanish, meaning "the little girl", analogous to El Niño meaning "the little boy".
 It has also in the past been called "anti-El Niño", and El Viejo (meaning "the old man").
 During a period of La Niña, the sea surface temperature across the equatorial Eastern Central Pacific Ocean will be lower than normal by 3 to 5 °C.
 In the United States, an "appearance" of La Niña persists for at least five months.
 It has extensive effects on the weather in North America, even affecting the Atlantic hurricane season.
Duncan is a given name.
 It is an Anglicised form of the Gaelic "Donnchadh".
 The final letter "n" in the Anglicised "Duncan" seems to be a result of confusion in the Latin form of the name—"Duncanus"—with the Gaelic word "ceann", meaning "head".
 One opinion is that the Gaelic "Donnchadh" is composed of the elements "donn", meaning "dark or dark-haired man" or "chieftain"; and "cath", meaning "battle", together meaning "dark-haired or dark warrior".
 Another opinion is that the Gaelic "Donnchadh" is composed of the elements "donn", meaning "brown"; and "chadh", meaning "chief" or "noble".
Nehemiah ( or ; , "Yahweh comforts", long version of the name "Nahum" which also means comforter; Standard Hebrew "Nəḥemya", Tiberian Hebrew "Nəḥemyāh") is the central figure of the Book of Nehemiah, which describes his work in rebuilding Jerusalem during the Second Temple period.
 He was governor of Persian Judea under Artaxerxes I of Persia (c. 5th century BC).
A feudal earldom is a Scottish feudal title that is held "en baroneum", which means that its holder, who is called a feudal earl, is also always a feudal baron.
 A feudal earldom is an ancient title of nobility in Scotland.
 The holder may or may not be a Lord of Regality, which meant that the holder was appointed by the Crown and had the power of "pit and gallows", meaning the power to authorise the death sentence.
 A feudal earl ranks above a feudal lord and a feudal baron (being a feudal baron of a higher degree), but below an earldom which is a title in the Peerage of Scotland.
 Feudal earldoms are very rare.
 A peer is invariably addressed as 'Lord Placename' or 'Lord Such-and-so', whilst those holding a feudal earldom are addressed 'Earl of Placename'.
 Scottish titles, in order of precedence, are as follows: Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Lord, Baronet, Knight, feudal Baron, Clan Chief, Esquire/Gentleman.
 Wallace states that "Lordships, Earldoms, Marquisates and Dukedoms differ only in name from Baronies" but continues "one whose property was erected into a Lordship ranked before a simple Baron" and "A person to whom an Earldom belonged, would be superior to a person who had no more than a lordship ... One, whose lands were incorporated into a Marquisate, was superior to both ... A man, who owned a fief elevated into a Dukedom, was exhaulted above all three."
 However, Lord Stair states that Lordships or Earldoms are "but more noble titles of a Barony".
Evan is a Welsh masculine given name derived from "Iefan", a Welsh form for the name John.
 In other languages it could be compared to "Ivan", "Ian", and "Juan"; the name John itself is derived from the ancient Hebrew name Yəhôḥānān, which means "YHWH is gracious".
 Evan also comes from the Gaelic word "Eóghan" meaning "youth" or "young warrior" and Scots for "right-handed".
 In Hebrew, the actual non-proper noun, "evan/even/eban/eben", literally means "rock".
 It can also be the shortened version of the Greek name "Evangelos" (meaning messenger, or "Evander" (meaning good man).
 The old English translation of the name "Evan" could also be interpreted as "Heir of the Earth" or "The King".
 The name is also occasionally given to females, as with actress Evan Rachel Wood.
 It may be encountered as a surname, but Evans is usual.
Roberts is a surname of Norman origin, deriving from the Norman given name Robert, meaning "bright renown" – from the Germanic elements "hrod" meaning renown and "beraht" meaning bright.
 Roberts may mean either "servant of Robert" or "son of Robert"; the latter is more common in Wales, while the former is more common in England.
 Although the name Robert was known in the British isles before the Norman Conquest in 1066, it was mainly introduced into Britain by the Normans.
 Today the surname Roberts is common in England, Wales, Ireland and the Isle of Man, with the biggest concentration by far occurring in North Wales.
 In colloquial North-Walian Welsh "Roberts" is often pronounced as "Robaits".
 The name is also common in Scotland.
Little is a surname in the English language.
 The name is derived from the Middle English "littel", and the Old English "lȳtel", which mean "little".
 In some cases the name was originally a nickname for a little man.
 In other cases, the name was used to distinguish the younger of two bearers of the same personal name.
 Early records of the name include: "Litle", in 972; "Litle", in about 1095; and "le Lytle", in 1296.
 The surname has absorbed several non English-language surnames.
 For example, "Little" is sometimes a translation of the Irish "Ó Beagáin", meaning "descendant of "Beagán"".
 "Little" can also be a translation of the French "Petit" and "Lepetit", as well as other surnames in various languages with the same meaning ("little"), especially the German name Klein during World War II.
