Ián Anglatzarâ | > In the US, Vaught is probably an anglicization of the common German surname Vogt, meaning steward. Açafat in Talossan. (And I'm sorry if you have a dislike for a similar famous surname... ;)

Wow, Acafat? Hmmmm.. I need to learn Talossan pronunciation I think. That's the best anyone has come up with yet, though. Thanks!
> As for Wyatt, I can find no definitive etymology, but I've only checked the net, not my books at home. The one Miestrâ gives (from Guy, from a Germanic word meaning wood-) is certainly one etymology. Another one is that it is a worn-down form of Wigh(e)ard, meaning battle-hard. (Again, I think there's a Tolkien connection here. I think one of the minor riders of Rohan is called Wighard, or perhaps it's someone in his Battle of Maldon retelling.) Anyway, translating "hardened in battle" into Talossan makes for an unwieldy name, so in that case you copuld use simply either Düreu - tough or Robúst - stalwart.
I think Dureu might be good. What about the Talossan for 'wood,' though. I have been aware for the etymology connected to wood for a long time.
Thanks again!
PS where can I find out how to do the accents?

That's "Vitz" that Miestrâ came up with.

Gee thanks!
Vitz Açafat! Hey, it works!
Ok, I think I might keep Vitz, and Açafat is ok. Are there any other words, synonyms perhaps, that I could use instead of Açafat?

Ián Anglatzarâ | Well, Airïoc'h means caretaker, if you feel it's close enough. Governor is Governadéir. Vairininçéu means steersman. But Açafat would be the direct translation.
