This is actually a really good idea for a thread OP. Good job.

Goídel Glas (Latinised as Gaithelus) is the creator of the Goidelic languages and the eponymous ancestor of the Gaels.

Tubal-Cain is a person mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, in Genesis 4:22. He was a descendant of Cain, the son of Lamech (not the other Lamech, father of Noah) and Zillah. He was the brother of Naamah and half-brother of Jabal and Jubal.

Ahhh m80 this is just a combination of the rather common name "Dionysius" (shared with the god and quite a few tyrants of Syracuse) and his job as a member of the Areopagus.

Hawaiian royalty had some breddy gud names:

Kamehameha
Liliuokalani

One of my favorite royal titles, though is the Samoan "king" (it's actually a more complex system with multiple titles where the high kingship rotates through families, and the current family's right to the title is disputed by some claimants, but close enough): The title is "Malietoa", which supposedly comes from Tongan warriors shouting "well fought, great warrior!" ("mālie toa, mālie tau!") as they were driven back into their boats when the first of the royal line drove a Tongan invasion/raiding party out of Samoa.

For that matter, the Tu'i Tonga Empire has a pretty cool sci-fi aesthetic to it to me.
