    Was that intentional or just a translation error?
    Yeah... because they also lable Tseng as 'Shion'.

    Plus they pronounce Cloud as 'Croudo'

    And on with the names..

    Aeris/Aerith also means air.

    Cait Sith is Celtic. Said to wander the moors of SCOTLAND, our brothers in tounge.
    Shiva is a Gaelic Goddess. So what about clothes?
    Also, Aeris is latin for Cloud (mystical link?).

    Shiva is an Indian deity.
    My Cure spell brings all the boys to the yard,
    And they're like: "It's better than yours."
    Damn right, it's better than yours!

    Both are correct. Shiva appears as both the Hindu god of destruction and rebirth and a Celtic/Gaelic goddess.

    Hmm... that's the kind of information that leads to conspiracy theories.

    Cloud - This is obviously a mistranslation, as his name should have been Clod.
    Tifa - Shortened form of "Latifa", as in Dana Owens.
    Aerith - Properly translated this means "pink" in Flemmish.
    Barret - This was naturally a mistranslation. His name is supposed to be Bullet, an obvious homage to the Bill Waterson character Tracer Bullet, who is the basis for "Barret"'s character.
    Cid - Doesn't mean anything.
    Cait Sith - This is clearly just Engrish.
    Yuffie - I've heard this is an old Scandanavian word which means "conqueror".
    Vincent - Obviously a reference to Vincent Vega. Who else?

    Jessie - from the homosexual cowboy Jesse James
    Biggs - from the famous porn star of the same name
    Wedge - because he keeps getting wedged in the door when he walks through it

    Marlele - an Inuit word that could mean either "annoying" or "cute" depending on the circumstances

    Elmyra - from the Tiny Toons character Elmyra Fudd, she was fond of animals and would adopt strays. (Aeris)

    Cid: meaing lord maybe from a Spanish hero El Cid and becuase in the game he was the 1st one to fly that makes him LORD of the skies.

    Cloud: The white things you see in the sky.

    Vincent: meaning Victorious this maybe becuase he got his own back on Hojo.
