## Etymology

* Oscar possibly means "deer friend", derived from Old Irish *oss* "deer" and *carae* "friend". Alternatively, it may derive from the Old English name Osgar or its Old Norse cognate Ásgeirr, which may have been brought to Ireland by Viking invaders and settlers. In Irish legend Oscar was the son of the poet Oisín and the grandson of the hero Fionn mac Cumhaill.
* Varuna possibly comes from Sanskrit *वृ (vr)* meaning "to surround, to restrain". In Hindu mythology Varuna is a god of water and the celestial ocean surrounding the world. He is one of the chief gods in the *Rigveda*.
* Alabor is a variant of the name Alatyr which in Russian legends and folklore is a sacred stone, the "father to all stones", the navel of the earth, containing sacred letters and endowed with healing properties. The awareness of the existence of such a stone exists in various parts of the Slavdom. It is often mentioned in stories and referred to in love spells as "*a mighty force that has no end*."
* Nicodemus is from the Greek name *Νικόδημος (Nikodemos)* meaning "victory of the people", derived from Greek *νίκη (nike)* meaning "victory" and *δῆμος (demos)* meaning "the people". This is the name of a character in the New Testament who helps Joseph of Arimathea entomb Jesus.
* Astrug is a variant derived from Provençal *astruc* "lucky", ultimately from Greek *aster* "star" and thus having the extended meaning of "born under a good star". It was generally given as an amuletic name and sometimes used as a translation of Hebrew Mazel Tov and/or Gad which means "fortune, luck" in Hebrew.
* Marchenko is the Ukrainian variant of Marko which is a form of Mark in several languages. Mark is the Latin form of Marcus a Roman praenomen, or given name, that was probably derived from the name of the Roman god Mars which is possibly related to Latin *mas* meaning "male" (genitive *maris*).
