It is said that many of the Forsaken's names were given to them by the common people, and then they embraced these new names and used them exclusively. A couple of examples are Ishamael (Betrayer of Hope) and Lanfear (Daughter of Night), but the OT translations of most of the rest of the names are not present that I can find. They are absent from the BWB. Here's the list I have been able to find or figure out, and any help or references would be appreciated.

 

Ishamael - Betrayer of Hope

Sammael - Destroyer of Hope

Rahvin - ?

Be'lal - Envious - or so says http://wot.wikia.com/wiki/List_of_Old_Tongue_words but it seems this should be 2 words because of the apostrophe that breaks it into 'Be' and 'lal'

Demandred - ?

Asmodean - ?

Aginor - 'nor' means 'cutter or slicer', but I can't find a translation of 'Agi" anywhere

Balthamel - ?

 

Lanfear - Daughter of Night

Moghedien - A specific species of spider

Graendal - ?

Mesaana - ?

Semrihage - ?

 

That's as far as I've been able to take it, but I've been curious about it for a while now.

 

Any thoughts?
