Etymologies of Sasan names
Here is a list of my speculations of the origins of Sasan related names! There's no really confirmation for these, some are pretty obvious but others are more like guesses.
»
Darius Leoxses — Darius, the name of many Middle Eastern kings. To be fair, it would probably be more accurate to call the Sasan king Darios (Greek form of the name), as that is how it's written in Japanese. Darius (Latin form of the name), on the other hand, is the name of the Reim spy Sinbad encountered in his childhood.
»
Mystras Leoxses — Mystras is a place in Greece.
»
Spartos Leoxses — Spartos is Ancient Greek for "rope", "cord".
»
