Need a world name for the plane of elemental water. (Not Atlantis, or anything sounding like it.)

[Jemini]

I am writing a story in which each of the 4 elements has an elemental plane. Each plane has a name by which it is referred, not just "Plane of (insert element.)"

So far, I have names for the worlds of Wind, Fire, and Earth.

Wind = Ether.
Fire = Efreet.
Earth = Agarath.

I do not have a name for the world of water, though. Atlantis is the only name that pops into the head. However, absolutely EVERYONE uses Atlantis. (Plus, it's the name of a city. It's quite the stretch to make it the name of an entire plane of existence.) I need something different, but it also needs to be synonymous with the image of water.

If it comes down to it, I could probably turn the name of some obscure water-related natural phenomenon into the planar name. So, examples of something that could fit that bill would also be appreciated.

 

[Maromar]

How about Váthos? Agarath is Greek derived, I believe, and Váthos means "depth".

 

[Quasetor]

Laguna

 

[Anon_Y_Mousse]

Since you already have efreet, how about Undine?(or Ondine cause a lot of people use the former for people)

Agarath? Not Agartha?

As for water, why not Protheus, Nu, Hyades, or Hadad.

 

[GodlyKamui]

Since you already have efreet, how about Undine?(or Ondine cause a lot of people use the former for people)

Or alter the name Leviathan, since it is the name of an aquatic mythical beast.

 

[ArcadiaBlade]

Alpus? Just change it from Lapus or something?

 

[Reborn_Cat]

Morlyn, welsh word for lagoon, as a plus It sounds like merlin

 

[Layenlml]

Wetwater

 

[Reborn_Cat]

Wetwater

Forget my previous suggestion Wetwater is ten times better

 

[Echimera]

Tehom or Samudra?
Or something else based on the concept of the Cosmic Ocean.

Though that might also be limiting if you want the name to encompass every form of (liquid) water.

I have to say though, I have yet to see anyone using Atlantis in the context of an elemental plane.

 

[Cipiteca396]

Ether.

A word that means air.

Efreet.

A mythological being related to fire.

Agarath.

A city related to earth.

If you use a repeat, it would be kinda weird. You can't use a word that means water, a monster related to the water, or (Atlantis) a city related to water, since that would leave things unbalanced... Unless you add elemental planes of light and darkness, then you could have two of each type.

Assuming you don't add the other two planes, then you'd need a new theme. Soooo... Actually, a natural phenomena would be a great choice. For balance.
(Apparently Mare and Irrigo might be viable, but I wouldn't use them.)

I think I would probably just switch all of them over to greek/latin words like Ether, and have Hydrus or Aquarius. Fire would become Ignis or Pyrus, Earth would be Terra or Gaius

 

[Brasil]

Aqua, Levia, Mere, Tritonis, Neptun.

 

[Tx93]

Mayby "Unda" from latin wave or sea?

 

[Viator]

Aquarius= Waterbearer so if we take out the center.... Quari?

 

[Jemini]

Agarath? Not Agartha?

They are both alternative writings of the same mythological city from various tellings.

I decided on "Agarath" because it was the one that sounded the most like our modern day preconceptions on what might refer to a world name. Agartha sounds a little more like a person's name.

A word that means air.

A mythological being related to fire.

A city related to earth.

No intention of adding light or darkness elemental planes. That being the case, I think "Samudra," a term related to the convergence of waters (A.K.A, Ocean) might be the term to take it.

This also adds the bonus of each term being from a different language. This actually perfectly fits the theme of the story I'm telling, so that all really does balance out perfectly.

Thank you, everyone, for all your help.

(Also, Leviathan is a term that I would have been completely barred from ever even considering. Same for Theom. I have already designated Tiamat as part of the world's creation story, in a capacity that would have barred her from also being the name of an elemental plane. Also, Tiamat is referred to as "the Leviathan" in the bible. Yes, Leviathan comes from the Old Testament, and it actually does refer to Tiamat. Yes, Babylonian mythology crops up over and over again in the Torah, and even into later parts of the Old Testament, and even has some re-appearances in the book of Revelations. Anyway, any time you see the terms "Leviathan" or "Whore of Babylon" appearing in the bible, those terms are both ways of referencing Tiamat.)

 

[Marveller]

Hydriethal

Wetwater where the Weterians live... such an amazing place.

You can also use mirrors for the name since water is often compared to it, so something like Mirage.

 

[Rinel]

Boeing 737-aqua - that could be a name for a water plane.
But in all seriousness, how about:
Abyss

 

[gaylolis]

Undem Itah

seems pretty rhyming with the rest, it means ocean and earth in this language.
