for both of them:

abraxas as the family's surname from the gnostic great archon, the god from demian (maybe best known on weeb tumblr for what the "crack the world's shell" speech in revolutionary girl utena is directly referencing), and the original name of the island in thomas more's utopia

el is another way to say "from"/"of" in esperanto, the language used in metaphor - specifically my headcanon here is that the royal family use el, while all other euchronian nobility (like strohl's family) use da

amaurot as the territory name also because of it being the name of the city in utopia, and because grand trad was named "sanct amaurot" in early development - i'm imagining here that amaurot was the original name of the city/territory around it when euchronia was founded, and the rename to grand trad was comparatively recent after the annex war

for more/hythlodaeus V:

thomas for thomas more, self-explanatory

raphael is also from utopia, for raphael hythlodaeus, also self-explanatory

for the prince:

lilia from lilium, the genus for lilies, which are the closest match for the royal flowers/eldan sanctum flowers

it also doubles as a silly reference to lilia from twisted wonderland, just as a nod to the sleeping beauty/briars reference there for the curse

alexander because it's one of the alternate default protagonist names (russian, specifically), and for lilium alexandrae, a type of japanese lily that are white and green like the royal flowers
