<!-- Write below this line, please. -->
Most of the free to edit territories in North Archanta are still without names. Referring to the map and table at [[Collab:North Archanta]] feel free to suggest possible territory names for AR900 (Commonia), AR902, AR922, AR923, AR924, AR925 and AR926. This may then lead on to some voting. Also interested in though about the current langugae guide for AR925. Thanks/[[User:Wangi|wangi]] ([[User talk:Wangi|talk]]) 10:21, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

| 西华
| For it's not in Chinese I just put a transcript here which means Western of Huaxia. The local name could not mean this and this is just could be considered as in ancient time, what Huaxian (and Bai people?) called them.

|竹華
|Zhuhua
|竹华
|AR924 is currently inspired by Chinese culture and in Traditional Chinese, so in the name:

* "竹" means bamboo, the 3rd one of the "[[wikipedia:Four_Gentlemen|Four Gentlemen]] (in the flowers)" (花中四君子) in Chinese culture, referring to elegant and unconventional persons, and
* "華" same as it in Huaxia, refers to Chinese culture inspirense.

|河微
|In the real world, Hokkien groups are sometimes called "He Luo" to represent the fact that their ancestors came from the Luo River in the ancient Central China, and in this world they may have come from the Weishui in the eastern part of Huaxia, hence the name.

|嵐濱
|Aramare
|岚滨
|The reason for choosing "Aramare" (the English name for 岚滨/Lan-pin) lies in its etymology: "ara" echoes the hazy, poetic vibe of "岚" (mist/haze), while "mare" (from Latin meaning "sea") mirrors "滨" (coast/shore). Together, it encapsulates the core imagery of "mist-shrouded coast" that the Chinese name conveys. [https://wiki.opengeofiction.net/index.php/User:%E6%9E%97%E9%9B%A8%E9%9C%9E]

|朱炎

|朱炎
|AR926 is currently inspired by Chinese culture and in Simpelfied Chinese, so in the name:

* "朱" refers to "朱雀" (Zhuque, or the [[wikipedia:Vermilion_Bird|Vermilion Bird]]), one of the "[[wikipedia:Four_Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts]]" (四大神兽, or 四象) in Chinese culture, which in ancient time refers to the south geologically, meaning that country is south of Huaxia, and
* "炎" means hot, related to the weather in AR926, and it also refers to the "fire" in [[wikipedia:Wuxing_(Chinese_philosophy)|Chinese Wuxing]] (五行, the Five elements), which was also used to refer the south in ancient China.

|星纪
|Xingji
|星纪
|Fenye(分野) is an ancient Chinese astronomer's way of dividing the stars and pairing them with the states on Earth in order to observe good and bad luck. It also divides the states and vassal states on earth into twelve regions, so that they correspond to each other. For example, the area that belongs to the east geographically corresponds to the starry sky in the "east" of the star chart (considered as a flat map).
AR926 is located in the southeast relative to huaxia, which astrologically corresponds to the Capricorn (Xingji (星纪) in Chinese).

|暨华
|Jihua
|暨华
|The name "暨华" is referenced from 灵昌 City, which is under the jurisdiction of Peikou-沛口 in AR926. In this city, there is a historical scenic area.[https://opengeofiction.net/way/35294712#map=14/8.6847/154.2255&layers=B] I fabricated a historical plot. There was an ancient king who established a country with the dynastic title "暨". This country ruled most of the area of AR926. This king was worshipped by his people. This is the origin of "暨". The "华" is the same as the "华" in "华夏". It refers to the inspiration of Chinese culture.
