Ignitus: When you set fire to something, you ignite it. Hence the reason Ignitus is called Ignitus. Also he has the word in his name.

Terrador: Land/earth/ground in french is terre, which explains why Terrador is called Terrador.

Cyril: The name Cyril means lordly, and isn't Cyril always boasting about how noble and pure blooded he is?

Volteer: Volteer has the word volt in it and that is a way to measure electricity.

And I have absolutely no idea why Spyro is called Spyro, or why Cynder is called Cynder.

Guess for Cynder: Maybe she was hatched by some cinders, and they thought the name cinder wasn't groovy enough, so they made it cynder instead.

Guess for Spyro: They had to name him Spyro anyway.

So if you think you know why they are named the way they are named, please post on this topic.

Spyro: Because they whanted to make Spyro a spy and a rowing dragon so they put it together and it came out to be Spyro. They tock the w of because it looks stupid with it on.

Yeah I know that is stupid but it is ramdom...

Good ideas!

Spyro comes from the word 'pyro', which means fire.

This also sorta explains Cynder's name; Spyro's name is a 'twisted' fire-related word, so I guess the developers wanted Cynder's name to be similar. Hence, Cinder becomes Cynder.

Cynder comes from the word Cinders as in fire as she breaths fire, but that realy doesn't make sence now that Cynder doesn't breath shadow fire

A Spyro is a purple, red and yellow flame. For some reason there was a setting on an old version of Windows Media Player called Spyro and it was a purple, red and yellow flame

Yep, like Spyro Fanatic said, in the manual of the first game it explains that in the dragon realms, "Spyro" means "the one who breathes fire". It's like a mesiah (probably spelt wrong) to them. Like Jesus. Also, in TLoS, the reason why he's called Spyro is because the dragonflies obviously felt like calling him that. Maybe to the dragonflies, "Spyro" means "the one who is big".

, I could just imagain that

Haha, Cyril's like Draco Malfoy. "...always boasting about how noble and pure blooded he is."

I'm guessing Cynder's name did come from 'cinder'. No idea what cinders really have to do with her, except maybe the fact that the breathed fire in ANB.

All I know about the word 'Spyro' is that there's a funny swirly thing on Windows Media Player called 'Spyro', like bionicle says.

i new all that stuff abuit valteer and iggy but just not terrdor or cirel

Spyro: It's probably something with " pyro " ( fire ) and " spirit ( the purple color has something with spiritual things ). So, maybe his name was invented with those two words.

I thought exactly the same thing about Draco! Did you know that the name Draco means dragon? I got that from babynames, which is a website where you can look up names and find thier meanings. It's meant to be used for people who are going to have children, but *shrug. shrug* iIwas bored, so I looked up the meaning of a name and I found this on google.

I love Draco Malfoy.

Draco is Latin for dragon, isn't it? And I think 'Malfoy' comes from 'mal' which means 'bad and 'foy' which means 'faith' or something. So he's 'Dragon BadFaith'

But we should really get back on topic!

Spyro is pyro and spirit eh? It must have something to do with PyroSpirit or FierySpirit.

this deserves futher in-depth study!

Who likes what name best? Sorry that is off topic, but I am curious - too curious. And SkyeTheDragon, I love your avatar. Are you really French? Oh, and the tool for taking pictures is called a camera (if it's that device you are talking about - I sure hope it is, or I've just made a fool of myself. EEk!)

Thanks, and yes, I'm french!

I've just had a revelation! The Chronicler is called the Chronicler because if you put something in chronological order, than it is in time order! And TC is like a guardian of time! (He preserves it by writing it down) Hope you found that interesting!

Thanx to whoever it was who wrote this (from a topic Night Owl started in the spyro film forum) for writing this, it gave me the idea! Quote:

So while Universal continues to butcher Spyro on their end I'll do my best to save him with the upcoming Legacy of Ages films and The Destiny Chronicles TV Series.

It was the word Chronicles that did it.

Who likes what name best?

Out of the guardians' names, I think I like 'Terrador' best.

Cynder is black like cinders and is a super common name for black dogs/cats.

The word 'terra' in Latin means 'earth, ground, land, and soil.'

Terrador has the word 'Terra' in it, which means Earth. Spyro is an amalgation of Pyro. Cynder is Cinder, except with a y instead of an i. The rest, you hit the nail on the head for.

I've just had a revolution! The Chronicler is called the Chronicler because if you put something in chronilogical order, than it is in time order! And TC is like a guardian of time! (He preserves it by writing it down) Hope you found that interesting!

You just got that from jamique's famous fan film. Altough...

Chronicles is like describing someone's story. I'm not quite sure the definition of chronicles though.

The Gardians? WELL DUH TO THE GROUND!!!

Cyril was a mistery though

Cinder: I found out that Cynder is short for Cinderella. Probably becouse she changed at mid-night... In lamans terms.

Spyro: A Spyro is a geiser that spews out exremely hot liquad. (Found only near volcanos and hot springs)

i just made a new topic pls look at it. ps: spyro . hes a spy and his name is ro

Chronicler is actually a word, you know.

No i didn't know.

not. posttoshort

I just found a version of what Spyro means. It is short for Spyridon which means spirit and another version of Spyridon means basket.

Spyro: Spyro was named Spyro because it has the word "pyro" in it, which means to "play with fire", thus putting an "S" at the begging of "pyro", forming "Spyro"! good idea, heh?

There's actually another word of Spyro which is for the holes on a notebook.

Cynder: Cinder is a word, removing I creates Cynder, which kind of says, ''Lava''

Cyril: Ice something

Ignitus: Means to ''Ignite''

I like my idea!

Spyro: It was named after "pyro".

Cynder: Called Cinder but changed the I to a y.

I remember hearing that Cynder meant black or something. (Ebony means black for sure!)

P.S- I had a dalmation dog named Cynder, but she died the day after her 14th b-day.

Cool. I like the name Spyro. It has a nice ring to it.

Volteer: Volteer has the word volt in it and that is a way to measure electricity.

Don't forget about the guy who was the big supporter of free speech in the Age of Enlightenment, his name was Voltiare.

Spyro stands for small pyro!

No offense but it's very obvious where the names came from. This topic insults my intelligence. [/facepalm]

Too bad.

Sierra- I've found out by chance that it means mountain range, which is why the logo has a mountain. Does anyone here like the name Ciara?

Spyro: a spyro is the way a fire moves, in a spiralling circle.
