I had picked it out as nonsense syllables that I thought sounded good, but I got a comment from six_of_one (the_bitter_word) that she'd Googled up that it meant "healer". I couldn't find a similar citation so asked where she saw that, although I did find it being used as a race in a Star Trek manga, a world name in someone's Dungeons & Dragons game, and as a name or descriptor for a "thirteenth Muse", as near as I can tell the muse of prose writing (!), in a rather odd book called "Masques & Phases".
The change was urged by a certain personage, though, actually. Not to this specifically, just to something of the type. It turned out that my first choice was already taken on ... well now, wait a minute. I just checked it again on LJ/IJ/DW and it's not being used as an alias on FFN either. WTF? I guess Gmail, maybe, because I wanted to make an account with the same name, but then elethian is already taken there too. Now I'm really confused. I could have sworn.. ah well, it's done now (at a cost of $20 for the two rename tokens, heh).
