Hey there!

I've noticed that you like to add speculation of etymological origins for various champion and lore names. While cute, it really has no justifiable basis. Although the threshold for inclusion on trivia pages/sections is admittedly lower than for other pages in the mainspace, your contributions stretch the boundaries of imagination.

It's highly unlikely that Riot's design team used etymological roots while creating their universe. Their standard method involving brainstorming of names and selection of ones that "sounded right" is more probable.

It's nice to know about a word's root if it relates to the champion or subject, but there are very few cases that display such a high degree of correlation. Identifying connections may be interesting, but to identify those that don't exist (especially when not mentioned by the team) takes it too far.

Unless you can provide some source that Riot utilized linguistic expertise in their design or otherwise justify these additions, these etymology details will be removed. The wiki (at least the mainspace) is not the medium for you to flaunt your linguistic geekery. You could consider using the material for a user blog post. 15:11, July 20, 2017 (UTC)
