Still in a Harvest Moon mood, I decided to give all of the characters in HM64 full names (except the sprites).
Also decided to challenge myself to use pick one for each alpabeth. Well, tried, but then divided into major and minor character. So, none have the same beginning letter in their surname except when they're one family.
Meanings under the cut (in alphabetic order; bold for major character, italic for minor character):
Akana (Hawaiian): A common Hawaiian last name and the meaning of the name is "bright".
Amito 網戸 (Japanese): Means "doorway with an insect net" in Japanese.
Bakhuizen (Dutch): Means "bakery" from Dutch bak "bake" and huis "house", an occupational name for a baker.
Bouvier (French): Means "cowherd" in French, from Latin boviarus, a derivative of bos "cow".
Chevalier (French): From a nickname derived from French chevalier meaning "knight", from Late Latin caballarius "horseman", Latin caballus "horse".
Chigusa 千種 (Japanese): From 千 (sen, chi) meaning "thousand"and 種 (shu, -gusa, tane) meaning "class, kind, seed, species, variety"
Desrosiers (French): Means "from the rose bushes", from French rosier "rose bush". It probably referred to a person who lived close to, or cared for a rose garden.
Dufour (French): Occupational name for a baker, from French four "oven".
Eccleston (English): Denoted a person from any of the various places named Eccleston in England, derived from Latin ecclesia "church" (via Briton) and Old English tun "enclosure, yard, town".
