And no, this isn't about Zephon.

So Main was surfing TV Tropes as she does whenever she has free time. As many of you know, the characters from LoK are biblical in origin (Kain-> Cain from Cain and Able, etc). Rahab is one of those. Now, many of you may know of Rahab as the sea monster that shows up in Isaiah (KJV)

Rahab is also a version of the name of a prostitute who helped the Israelites in the book of Joshua. Another translation is Rachab which makes me think he has no idea how to spell his name anymore.
Conclusions:
1) Rahab is a sea demon hooker
2) Rahab is a Hebrew woman's name

On a side note, Raziela is also a Hebrew woman's name.

You may now discuss the issue.

Change the first line to "And no, this isn't about Raziel." Even though it is, for a sentence.

Since he's usually seen as the girly man out of the six.

And, lolololol.

Anyone able to get name origins on me? I'm fairly certain I'm not in any way shape or form feminine.

To quote The Lost Worlds:

"Turel" (AKA Turiel, Turael) is Hebrew for "Rock of God."

The Book of Enoch lists Turel as one of the angels who descend from heaven and fathered half-angel children (the Nephilim) with human women, as described in Genesis 6.

So you're a player. cool

Thank the gods for that.
:/
I've already seen what that would be like and it wasn't very pleasant.

I've seen Raziel used as a female name more than a male name oddly.

So Rel may be in fact right.

I haven't seen 'Raziela' used. I've just seen Raziel.

Oh GAWD! xd I'm a total word-nerd, and I gotta jump in on this one. Raziel is a Hebrew masculine name, meaning "secret of God." Zephon is also Hebrew, meaning "the North." As for the discrepancy regarding Rahab's spelling...in Hebrew, there is a character called "aleph," which has no English counterpart. Its pronunciation is somewhere between soft "h" and hard "ch." (sounds kinda like someone hocking a loogie xd ) So Rahab and Rachab are equally acceptable! Ra(c)hab means "spacious." =D Turel, as previously stated, means "rock of God." Melchiah is "King from YHVH," roughly. Dumah means "silence." Most of these names either refer to angels from rabbinical texts, biblical patriarchs, or ancient Israelite priests. Hope this helps!
