There was a very popular article made a long time ago about the origins of Disney princesses names and I wanted to do something with the names of Disney princes. These names will be done in a random order and some princes will be left out for various reasons (such as SOMEBODY not even having a name).
1. Adam
Adam is the Hebrew term for man. I think this is pretty obvious because according to the Bible, Adam was the first man created. In a way it is fitting that the Beast is called Adam once he is transformed back as he is human again and now a man not a beast.
Another name meaning is red. This is a reference to either the red skin or red earth of Eden. There are less links between this meaning and the Beast. This may be due to the fact that the name was added quite late after they realised they could not continue to call him Beast.
2. Naveen
The origin of the name Naveen is Indian/Hindi. It means "New". This name is appropriate in some ways as Naveen goes on a journey and ends up a changed/new man.
3. John Smith (Named after a historical figure so some of my analysis may be a bit redundant)
In Hebrew, John means Jehovah has been gracious. This could link to John Smith as he is viewed as a handsome and good character.
His second name Smith is very common. It is also stereotypically British which may explain why it was chosen for a n English explorer. Smith means tradesman and is probably linked to blacksmiths.
4. Philip
Philip derives from the Greek word Philippos. The meaning behind Philip means fond/friend of horses. This is entirely suitable as Philip has a white horse named Samson. They seem quite close.
5. Eugene and Flynn
The meaning of Eugene is well born. This is perhaps slightly ironic as Eugene was an orphan and not noble born. He was also a thief.
On the other hand, Flynn is actually an Irish surname. It means descendent of Flann (where Flann can mean ruddy or red-haired). There is a chance that this is a hint at Flynn's parentage but is mostly just a coincidence.
6. Aladdin
Unsurprisingly, Aladdin is an Arabic name. It means faithful. This is perhaps an odd choice for the name of a thief, but it was obviously chosen as Aladdin is an adaptation of a story from 1001 Arabian Nights.

Since I am trying to make the Princess Of The Month more popular, this is another one of my ideas. In the end of each month I'll post articles, based on the countdowns for songs, hairstyles and outfits. There everybody will have the chance to discuss whether they agree with the results, what corresponded to their expectations, and what they wish would have been different!
I was recently informed that the problem with the pictures in the articles is gone, and now the pictures can be put inside the text. However, I'm going to continue using mainly pictures for my articles, because first of all, that's what I've been doing for the rest of the articles from these series, and second, I like this way of doing articles! So maybe at some point I will switch back to the explanatory and sophisticated words articles, but for the time being I will stick to my picture articles!
Here are the results of the POTM Hairstyles Countdown: ~*Snow White*~ (April 2013)! Enjoy and share your opinion!
