Lots of the names in TES games are taken from real life words,notably Greek and Roman/Latin.

I thought it would be interesting to write a list with these names,and their meaning.

As a Greek myself I often happen to see some names being Greek words latinized,using the Latin alphabet,and this also sometimes makes me biased to some entities/places.

Here is a list of few Latin / Greek words/names that come to my mind right now,but if you know more,please feel free to write them in this thread,so we can make a list out of it!

meaning of Μ?ρα (Mora): Mora is a shadowy being of folk legend that is said to be evil and visit people at night when they sleep,often sitting on them or not allowing them to move. Sometimes people would feel like they are awaken at night time,but unable to move their bodies while having clear conscience of what is happening around them.Yet they feel paralyzed or like there is an invisible weight on them that doesn't let them move. Sometimes they also say that they notice dark shadow figure/s around them.This in the past was attributed to Mora,an evil shadowy figure that would visit people at night.
