Sef is the name of an Egyptian lion god. It also means "yesterday".
Tara has two meanings. In Sanskrit, it means "star", and is the name a Hindu/Buddhist astral goddess.
Tara is also the Anglicized form of the Irish place name Teamhair, which possibly means "elevated place" in Gaelic.
I can't find the name Drakely in any of my sources, but I can find "Drake", which is Latin for both "dragon" and "male duck". I suspect that Gothy-poo's parent's decided to create the name themselves from Drake.
The name Lars is the Scandinavian form of the name Laurence, which comes from the Latin name Laurentius, which means "of Laurentum". Laurentum was a city in ancient Italy, and its name probably is from the Latin word laurus, meaning "laurel". The laurel was sacred to the god Apollo and symbolizes victory and achievement.
Erik means "ever-ruling", and is derived from the Old Norse word elements ei (ever) and rikr (ruling).
I could not find the name Bonde in my sources, but I did find the name Bond, which it may be derived from. Bond is Old English and it means "tiller of the soil". I think that Bonde probably does come from Bond, as Old English was very closely related to the Scandinavian language family.
Hickman, did you mean Jeddiah or Jedidiah?
Adolf is the modern German form of the Germanic name Adalwulf, Adal meaning "noble" and wulf meaning "wolf".
Lawanda was created by African Americans and has no known meaning, although the name element "Wanda" could be interpreted for meaning.
Shaq is the short form of Shaquille, which means "handsome" in Arabic.
Wolfgang comes from the Germanic elements wulf (meaning wolf) and gang (meaning path).
Micah is a Biblical name that means "Who is like Yahweh?" in Hebrew.
Dmitry is the Russian form of the Latin name Demetrius, which comes from the Greek name Demetrios, which means "from Demeter" or "loving Demeter". Demeter was the Greek goddess of the harvest, and her name means "Earth Mother".
