I understand where the name comes from. I just think that it’s meaningless in-world. It’s purely for the reader. I think there are multiple ways to world building and types of world to create, and the type you’re describing matters more for books like those in(but not limited to) the epic fantasy genre.

Because I don’t believe it adds to the depth of the depiction. If we want a more realistic name, would we get the backstory to that? Would it really add to anything or would it even be worth the effort or make sense to get a backstory to it? I don’t think it would.
