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.

Silvana

Meaning: (Of the Forest, Queen of the Forest, Woman of the Woods, Italian feminine form of SILVANUS: Roman name derived from Latin silva "wood, forest". Silvanus was the Roman god of forests. This name appears in the New Testament belonging to one of Paul's companions, also called Silas.)

Origin: (Italian, Greek, Latin, Spanish, English, German)

Pronunciation: (seel-VAH-nah, sil-VAH-nə, Siy-LVAA-Naa, sil-VAHN-ah)

Gender: Female

I forget where I saw this name but I really love it. I already have Silas on my list of posts which is a similar meaning name. I think Silvana is a beautiful name with lovely meanings. It has an interesting look as well.

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.





Try some of the leading Baby Name Sites and Baby Name or Character Naming books as well.
