Character Naming

As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.

Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.

Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

Marcello

Meaning: (Little Marcus, Young Warrior, Form of Latin Marcellus meaning Hammer, a diminutive form of Marcus, which is of uncertain derivation. Most believe it has its root in Mars, the Roman Mythological God of War. Others, however think it might be from Mas (Manly) or from Greek Malakoz (Soft, Tender), Variant of Marcel (French), Dedicated to Mars.)

Origin: (Italian, Latin, French, Spanish, Roman Mythology)

Pronunciation: (mar-SEHL-loh, mar-CHEL-oh, mahr-THE-lo (Spanish), mahr-SElo (Latin American Spanish), maar-THEHLow)

Gender: Male

I love the show Stargate and on one episode they were talking about this alien named Marchelo and I saw that Marcello was a more proper spelling and I really like this name. The meaning is decent and I love Italian names.

I try to have the most accurate Meanings, Origin and Pronunciations for the names on this blog. It is best though to do research into the names you decide to use for your characters as there can be errors on my blog. Or meanings, origins, and pronunciations I have not seen thus not been able to add to this blog.
