Fun Facts Behind Twilight Names
Submit News | Posted by Chris | Categories: Books


Justine, a Twilighter, dugg up some interesting info on the meanings behind the names of the Twilight characters, check it out.

**Actual meanings from behindthename.com**

»Edward: Means “rich guard”. (so true!)

»Isabella a.k.a. Bella: Meaning “my God is abundance”. Isabella of France married Edward II. (WOAH!)

»Jacob: Meaning “holder of the heel” or “supplanter”. (Take what you can from that…)

»Jasper: Means “treasurer” in Persian.

»Rosalie: Means “Rose” (Obviously… How about, “beautiful rose?”)

»Alice: Composed of the elements adal “noble” and heid “kind, sort, type”. (interesting)

»Emmett: Meaning “whole” or “universal”. (Hmmm…)

»Carlise: Meaning, “Strong as Lugh”, Lugh was a Celtic god of the sun and craftsmanship. Also known as “the shing one.” (So, he’s as strong as “The shining one”? Interesting relation to vampires!)

»Esme: Means “esteemed” or “loved” in Old French. (awww)

»Charlie: Meaning, “Man, army, or warrior.” (hmmm….)

»Leah: Meaning, “Weary” or “Mistress or ruler.” (Fits her well.)

Yes, Stephenie did some research for the names. She said so. At first she called Rosalie “Carol” and Jasper “Ronald” XD I wouldn’t have liked those named.

“Bella” also means “Beauty” in Italian, which is quite well known but I’ve always loved this fact nonetheless. For her, it is definitive completely.
