Name signification of the Star Trek Eridani crew, P.2
Commander Kyral Ry'Anauk: Andorian names uses gendered prefixes to indicate from which of the four genders they are from, and these prefixes are placed between the first name and the clan name. As he has left Andoria after his particularly dishonouring Ushaan duel, Kyral dropped the practice of using that prefix before his clan name, Ry'Anauk, as a way to facilitate his integration into Starfleet. His full name is Kyral Th'Ry'Anauk.
The name Kyral comes from the Andorii words Kyrare and Lahlath, meaning respectively "The Call" and "The Snowy Peak". As such, his first name means "The call of the snowy peak". It's a name symbolising the bravery of honouring one's engagement, namely in difficult military campaigns
Marithyk Ry'Anauk: Just like his brother, Marithyk dropped the prefix indicator from his name, as he was mostly interacting with non-Andorians from the age of ten up until his adulthood. His full name is Marithyk Ch'Ry'Anauk.
The name Marithyk comes from the words Maarath, designating the edible, highly sought-after blooming cone of a hardwood tree, and Eketha, the name of said tree. This name symbolizes a blessing as well as strength, and was chosen as the birth of their second son was long awaited by the family after a difficult pregnancy for Marithyk and Kyral's mother.
Their last name, or family name, Ry'Anauk, means "Guardians of the honoured crown", and places their family among the oldest ones serving in the Imperial Guard.
