Character Naming

As an Author naming your Character is an important step right after coming up with the plot. I am here to help you choose the right character name for you and your story.

Make sure your character name is Genre Appropriate. Make sure if it's a Historical Fiction novel or takes place in a real time period that the name was used then. Or if it's a fictionalized place then you can be as creative as you wish.

Just have fun with naming your character. It is after all your story.

Levada / Lavada

Meaning: (Levada is an irrigation channel or aqueduct specific to the Portuguese island of Madeira.)

Origin: (Portuguese, English (Rare))

Pronunciation: (leh-VAY'-duh, leh-vah-duh)

Gender: Uni-Sex

I was watching a TV show about islands of the world that are improving the world with green technologies and one of the islands I saw on the one show was about the Portuguese island of Madeira *see on list of posts*. On the island they have a series of irrigation canals called a Levada. I think they are not only ingenious but very pretty and seem to enhance the islands unique flare. As a name I think it would be very cool if used in reference to these canals or maybe the characters parents might have a connection to the islands and the Levada irrigation canals. It’s a unique pretty name!

I try to have the most accurate Meanings, Origin and Pronunciations for the names on this blog. It is best though to do research into the names you decide to use for your characters as there can be errors on my blog. Or meanings, origins, and pronunciations I have not seen thus not been able to add to this blog.
