The guesses for Barbara were technically really good too! Bc your friends' logic was "follower of Jesus Christ --> Christa/Christie etc." Only the church doesn't worship Christ but BARBAtos. And her name is BARBAra. That is totally the Mondstadt equivalent of being named after Christ lol

Fun fact: Barbara *may* be named for Saint Barbara the New Martyr, a nun who spent her final moments singing to comfort and encourage those who were dying around her. At least, that’s my theory. If Jean is named for Jeanne d’Arc, I think it’s easy to conclude that her sister would also be named for a saint!

[@humanbeing2360]

@yuki97kira there is no confirmed region where the name Kaeya comes from but since Kaeya's last name is Germanic theorists think his name is also Germanic. Except it is spelled Kaija. The name Kaija has many different meanings like purity or little bird. It just depends on the region on what Kaeya means. So if you're really interested you can look it up. There are a lot of theories on it too.

[@HazeEmry]

@@humanbeing2360 don't take this srsly. I mean in Malay, Kaya means both coconut jam and rich. Kaya spread is nice to eat lol. If for some godforsaken reason it's taken from here, rich seems plausible and brings credence to the prince of Khaenriah theory. Or it could mean it's cause he looks like he has kaya spread all over hahaha

They're really going to have a fun time hearing "Dori Sangemah Bay" or "Sangonomiya Kokomi" for later installments, based on how they reacted to Fischl...

[@RandomGirl119]

Diona's name might be derived from Dionysus, a Greek god who was the god of wine, among other things. After all, she _is_ a bartender, and every cocktail she makes is delicious no matter what she puts in it. Aaaand the word "Albedo" is the name for a stage of alchemy, and Albedo is an alchemist.

"Chronos." Fun fact, in one interpretation of Greek mythology, Chronos's sibling Chaos had two grandchildren: _Aether_ and his _twin sister_ Hemera. Given their roles in most official media, "Lilith" would've been a _very_ good guess for Lumine.

The reason why Sucrose has a scientific name is because she's a alchemist 😭 (same with Albedos's name origin)

[@Letsplaymoron]

If you continue to subject your friends to the multinational inspiration Genshin Impact takes naming characters from in another video, you should give them all a guide of all the weapon types so that they can at least make a guess on that. Like how guessing if you chose Lumine or Aether at the beginning was with extra points. Because let's face it, with Mondstadt throwing German at them giving everyone that much whiplash then they're absolutely not ready for Chinese or Japanese or anything North African, Middle Eastern, or South Asian from Sumeru. Also oh God troll the hell out of them by putting some Aranara on the board.

[@THENIINAGIRL84]

12:19 oh hell nah I was like "omg they guessed venti's name but he better not be the next one tho...😅"

[@MikayaAkyo]

Actually for Klee it's debatable who was closest. Penny said "Clover" Mondstadt is very much based on Europe, especially around the German-Speaking area of Europe. Diona's Bloodline is the "Kätzlein" Bloodline which basically just translated to the "Kitty-Bloodline" when you translate it to english. You also have Fischl who calls herself "Die Prinzessin der Verurteilung" which is german for "Princess of Judgement" Now where i'm going with this is: "Klee" is the german word for Clover. So technically Penny was closest. Penny just used the english word :^)

[@OhDough]

Eulogy is my favorite genshin character

[@aconventionalchannel4643]

What a coincidence. My favorite character is also Epitaph

[@silvershoelaces3976]

Fun fact: Venti is Latin and Italian for wind, so if you know anything about Romance languages, the little bard with the flowing green cape is a good guess.

[@Emma-Maze]

8:48 I'd argue "Clover" was the closest guess, since "Klee" is just clover in German :) Also worth mentioning that "Kelly" is extremely close to the Chinese pronounciation of Klee's name ^v^
