Recently, I've provided my reconstructed forms of champions' names from Semitic language & also corrected many mistaken interpretations of Semitic names which I myself added in the past (my understanding of Semitic grammar is better now).

Now onto my main point, the name definitely originated from Arabic جَنَّة "garden, enclosure, paradise". Officially, Rioters explain that the name means "Guardian" in Ancient Shuriman, as reasonable derivation considering that the root verb was g-n-n "to protect".

However, Arabic janna & the proto-Semitic form *gann-at always mean "garden" (possibly, a piece of land protected by a fence) & never "Guardian". Hypothetically, "guardian" (feminine) would've been *ganin-at > Arabic **Janina & Hebrew gonenet lit. "she (who) protects".

So should I add the hypothetical, yet grammatically correct Janina for "guardian," or just leave Rioters' official explanation as it is?

Many thanks beforehand.
