An annotation of character names and their meanings

Most of the Overlander names are quite boring and a lot of the Underlander name I couldn 't find any meanig to them.
Anything that says it is a standard name means it is a common name that likely has no further meaning and Unkown means I have never heard the name nor know what it means, they are likely random, though a lot of the Underlander ones are European sounding.
