Frieren's characters names origin and explanation

Did you know ?
The names of the characters from the popular anime Frieren come from German words. If you are German you probably already know but here are some of the main cast's names and explanations for the others.

Here are some of the translations of the casts early on in the anime and manga :

And here are some explanations:

Name	Translation in English	Our Observations
Frieren	To Freeze	Probably because of her “cold” personality
Fern	Far away, remote	It has probably no link with the eponym plant
Stark	Strong	Quite strong innit'
Himmel	Sky, heaven	The best boy does not need an explanation
Eisen	Iron	As hard as iron
Heiter	Cheerful	His number 1 quality when he drinks (always)
Sein	To Be	Maybe because of his identity crisis before going on his journey
Flamme	Flame	Opposite of Frieren who means To Freeze
Kraft	Power, force	Quite strong innit'
Gorilla	Gorilla	(hmmm, this one was hard)
Graf Granat	Count Grenat	Graf means Count, we are not sure about the last name
Serie	Series	Please teach us about this one
Aura	Aura	(That's one deep translation)
Lügner	Liar	Well, demons lie, he is a demon, therefore he is a liar.
Qual	Agony	Quite stylish

And in fact, EVERY character in the manga has a name from a German word. From side characters to enemies. Maybe only the Demon King and the Hero of the South (Which are not mentioned by their name but only by title) are the only ones to not have one.

So when the anime catches up a little more we will be pleased to do the next translation of the future cast !
Stay tuned!
