Meaning behind the Sith Lord names

Not sure if there was ever a thread for this, but has anyone pondered the meaning of the names used for the Sith Lords?

Sidious - According to Webster's Dictionary, 'insidious' means "characterized by treachery or slyness" or "more dangers than seems evident" How perfect for Palpatine!

Maul: Pretty obvious, considering the guy fought with a double-edged lightsabre

Tyrannus: Hmmm, derived from 'tyrant' maybe?

Vader: Derived from 'invader'??


Anyone elses thoughts???

 

Darth Plagues the wise.....Maby,.. I'm going out on a limb here but.....No. No. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna state the obvious like the first poster... I'll just let you all figure it out for your selves.

 

Probably Plagueis caused a whole bunch of plagues.....

 

Vader is Dutch for "Father."

So now we know Palpatine's true roots!

[Austin Powers: Goldmember]But those damn Dutch....they were so evil.[/APG]

 

[Goldmember] Sure you can kill me but shen vat 'appens to Austin Power's fasha? [/voice]

 

[Goldmember] Luke IIIIIIIII am your fasha'! AHHAHAHahahahahahaaa.... [/WT*?]

 

Some known "Darth"s

The Sith made sure their young trainees got lots of practice fighting by giving them really sissy names. Maul got so good with a lightsaber because his name actually means "fragile little porcelain mouse." He had to beat other kids up over that Every. Single. Day.

Darth Vader = "dewdrop-sparkling daisy"

Darth Sidious = "I believe in unicorns and rainbows"

Darth Tyranus = "I need a hug"

Darth Plagueis = "Smurfs are forever"

 

That's funny
