The first element of this name is possibly derived from Russian tónkij or tónkiy "thin, slim, slender", which is ultimately derived from Proto-Slavic tьnъkъ "thin".

Due in part to its sensational subject matter, the book proved extremely popular.

A modern name combining the popular Samantha with the suffix of andra coming from names such as Alexandra or Cassandra.

In the case of American actress Samaire Armstrong (1980-) it is most likely an invented name, though she has claimed it means "dawning sun" in Gaelic: 'My first name is Gaelic and means "dawning sun". It's pronounced Sah-mee-rah. My dad read 'Conan the Barbarian' when my mom was pregnant with me. That's where he got my name.' It may have been inspired by the Irish river name Samair, Samhair, about which Adolphe Pictet (1799-1875) wrote: '...in the colloquial Irish of the people the old name Samhair was corrupted to Camhair; and as this word signifies the first appearance of daylight or the break of day, so they translated it into "Morning Star"'; or it may have been influenced by the fictional place name Cimmeria, the homeland of Conan the Barbarian in the works of Robert E. Howard.

First seen in the Dutch naming statistics in 1993 (when 16 baby boys were given this name), the name Fender has since enjoyed a stable presence in the naming statistics (with 16 births each year) until a sudden increase in popularity in 2008 (20 births), which it has maintained so far. The meaning of the name is unknown; one Dutch celebrity (the musician and television host Eddy Zoëy) who gave his son (born in 2006) this name, once said in an interview with a Dutch magazine that he had named him after the Fender brand of guitars. However, in a different interview years later, he suddenly claimed to have named his son after the character of Fender from the 2005 American computer-animated film "Robots", which he had voiced in the Dutch dubbed version of the film.

The etymology of the name of the robot is uncertain, but it might possibly be related to the English word fender or even the slang term fender-bender. But in the case of the guitar brand, there is more certainty. The brand derives its name from the surname of its founder, Leo Fender (1909-1991), which is said to be an occupational surname that refers to a town guard (from Anglo-French defendre meaning "to defend").

Note: in this context, ex is not to be taken literally when explaining the verb exsupero - it is meant to enhance or elevate the meaning of the succedent verb (supero), to indicate that it happens on a greater scale than usual. This was the name of several saints, including a Bishop of Toulouse who succeeded Saint Sylvius, and the first Bishop of Bayeux.

It has been suggested that the name was created from an elaboration of love as a palindrome, or from the backwards spelling of t(h)e love with the h omitted for the sake of aesthetics, or from evolve as an incomplete anagram. It could also be used as a combination of the names Eve and Violet.

A figure out of Greek mythology, recorded only in later Roman sources. In most accounts, Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha are the only survivors of a great flood. They float in a wooden chest nine days and nights, which finally comes to rest on Mount Parnassus. The couple repopulate the earth by throwing 'the bones of their mother' over their shoulder — their mother in this case being Gaia (Mother Earth) and her bones being stones. However, the account of Dionysius of Halicarnassus ignores this flood myth and instead briefly mentions Deucalion, son of Prometheus, as a military leader who swept out of Parnassus to conquer neighboring Thessaly.
