  • Have you ever wondered where the villagers in Animal Crossing get their names? Animal Crossing etymology in a way... sort of. What are the Origins of villager names? Why is Ankha named Ankha? What about Appolo? Dom? Marshal? Raymond? Fang? Al? Zucker? Marina? Filbert? Chops? Cobb? Big Top? And basically all of them.... In this video we go over these origins of every villager in Animal Crossing New Horizons!
    And to be clear, I do just mean "Villagers" so no shop keepers, event leaders, etc. Villagers ONLY!

    24:53 hate to break it to you, but while Fauna’s name is deer-based, female deer are actually called does. What her name is referring to are baby deer (also called fawns), and the fact that Fauna has spots in the back of her head matches this as well (young fawns have spots on their backs, and they lose these spots as they grow older and gain their adult coloring)

    Apparently Nan and Chevre are references to a Japanese children's book. Basically the goats are pen pals and write each other letters, but they wind up eating the letters before they ever read them. So they write a letter back asking to explain what the letter had said in the first place. Oh and I think Zucker is supposed to be Takoyaki 😅

    Beau’s Japanese name is “Peter” and he’s modeled after an impala so he’s likely named after the scientific name for the black-faced impala: Aepyceros melampus petersi; a particularly rare and handsome subspecies of impala coveted by trophy hunters. Also I think it’s funny how impalas are renown as one of the fastest and most agile animals on the planet and Beau is a lazy villager!

    With Vivian meaning "life" or "alive" it could reference that story in mythology where a female wolf saved the twins Romulus and Remus who were almost drowned when their father was killed.
