What's on your mind?

Okay, I was bored and curious, so...
I was looking at the names of my Destiny of End characters, and thought... "Maybe the names have some kind of hidden meanings?"
Mind you, I pulled these names out of my head, so I had no idea if any of them were real words or names
First... Ikuno.
According to lots of sites, Ikuno was the name of a town in Japan, and is usually a girl's name as well. (Hoo boy, sorry Ikuno!
)
The town of Ikuno was merged into another area in 2005(?), so it no longer exists on its own. Also, apparently "Iku no?" means "Are you going?"
Combined with Doko, it means "Where are you going?"
Just... throwing that out there, in case you need to ask someone where they're going in Japanese
Next up... Sinobu!
Wha? Haven't I introduced him yet? Maybe soon...
Anyway, Sinobu is apparently an alternate spelling of Shinobu, which has cool meanings!
It means Recall, Stealth, as well as Endure/Endurance. Oh, and Patience! Perseverance! Lots of meanings of Shinobu
Sinobu also has its own MISUNDERSTOOD meanings, such as Sad/To Think with Sadness.
As you may have guessed by the similar spelling of Shinobu, it does have a relationship with the word Shinobi.
Adding Mono makes the name Ninja!
I think I named him correctly, with his personality...
Next, Karula!
His name is apparently Latin, and is defined as: A carrel; A small square chamber or cell; sometimes found in cloisters.
A Carrel is "a small enclosure or study in a cloister."
Interesting...
I honestly can't figure out the meaning of Kerusa, since I get lots of weird results
Possibly related to the word Kerusso, which apparently means Preacher? I don't know
NEXT!
Sheena!
"Sheena" is an Anglicization of Sine, the Scottish Gaelic form of the name Jane, in turn, the female form of John.
Of Hebrew origin, it means "God is gracious".
What a fitting and wonderful name
NEEEEXT! Tina!
Her name means River.
That's it. Lots of people have the name
Next, Pipsqueak!
Just kidding, that's it. We all know what Pipsqueak means, right?
He does have a birthname, but I'm not just gonna tell you all in a "What's on your mind?" thread!
Anyway... hope you enjoyed reading! Perhaps you've gained some insight into the characters that as of this point still even need proper faces...
Haha...
