Okay! I said I was going to write up all of my findings on the sources of the Fodlan names, and I’m gonna do it! Apologies to anyone who may have already done this.

I’m going to sort this by country/continent. If anyone knows a more plausible etymology for one of these names please let me know, most of these were found through basic Google searches so I’m likely missing a lot, especially since a LOT of these names vary a bit from their sources and I only caught some of the changed ones because I was already familiar with the original. I’ll also be updating this as time goes on since I also want to cover the noble surnames that aren’t on the map.

EDITS:

Thank you @Bae-leth for pointing out that I’d gotten Faerghus and Leicester switched :’D this is what I get for whipping a long post up in a frenzy at 1am.

Added etymologies for the three nations

Added some possibilities suggested by @sunshinequeen-theresa

This is a very long post:

Adrestian Empire: From Adrestia, daughter of Aphrodite and Ares, “she who cannot be escaped” and followed Ares into battle

Brionac: After wading through pages of results about Yu-Gi-Oh, Final Fantasy, and Xenoblade, I found a Xenoblade article suggesting that Brionac is a name attached to the spear of Lugh from Irish mythology that hasn’t really appeared anywhere outside of Japanese media

Arundel: The only hits for Arundel I got pertained to a few towns, but I hypothesize that it’s connected to Arondight, Lancelot’s sword

Remire: I found that Remire is the name of an island in Seychelles, which could be the etymology, but let me know if there’s something else out there

Oghma: Champion of the Tuatha De Dannan from Irish mythology

Varley: WIkipedia says that Varley is a surname- either English of Norman origin, or Irish or Gaelic origin (paraphrased from Wikipedia)

Airmid: A goddess from Irish mythology

Field of Gronder: When I put “gronder” into Google I was told that it means “to scold” in French; there may be another etymology but with so many names to get through I couldn’t hunt it down

Hyrm: Hyrm is the name of a Marvel comics Asgardian, but Hrym is a Jotun who captains Naglfar in Norse mythology, so it might be a misspelling

Bergliez: Berglez seems to be a German surname

Aegir: A Jotun of Norse mythology associated with the sea

Hevring: One of the daughters of Aegir and Ran from Norse mythology

Oche: Oiche is Irish for “night,” which seems to me more likely an etymology than “the line behind which darts players stand,” which is apparently what “oche” means

Nuvelle: All I could find was a laminate flooring company, so does anyone out there know what else it could mean?

Faerghus: Fearghus/Fergus is a common Scottish name, but I found a Saint Fergus, which might tie into Faerghus’s status as the Holy Kingdom

Teutates: According to a Roman poet, Teutates was a Celtic god of war

Rome: …Rome

Arianrhod: A Welsh goddess from the Mabinogion

Gaspard: A French given or surname, couldn’t find much more than that sadly

Tailtean Plains: Named for Tailtiu, thought to be the name of a Irish goddess

Blaiddyd: A legendary Britonic king who encouraged the practice of necromancy, and whose son Leir was the inspiration for the play King Lear

Continents:

Fodlan: Fodla was a major Irish goddess, and Fodla was occasionally used to reference Ireland itself

Sreng: A champion of the Fir Bolg from Irish mythology

Albinea: Sounds like it comes from Albion, and old name for the island of Britain

Surnames not on the map:

Bestla: Mother of Odin from Norse mythology

How Air Ambulance Gained Popularity

In earlier times you would think that a service such as an air ambulance is not available in India to especially civilians. As we know from history these services were only available and used for militants. With many Emergency Medical Service (EMS) innovations, treating patients in flight originated in the military. The concept of using aircraft as ambulances is almost as old as powered flight itself. Although balloons were not used to evacuate wounded soldiers at the Siege of Paris in 1870, air evacuation was experimented with during the First World War.

The first recorded ambulance flight was seen in 1917 in Turkey when a soldier in the Camel Corps who had been shot in the ankle was flown to hospital in a Havilland DH9 in 45 minutes. First Recorded Aeromedical Evacuation in the British Army The same journey by land would have taken some 3 days to complete. In the 1920s several services, both official and unofficial, started up in various parts of the world. Aircraft were still primitive at the time, with limited capabilities, and the effort received mixed reviews.

Exploration of the idea continued, however, and France and the United Kingdom used fully organized air ambulance services during the African and Middle Eastern Colonial Wars of the 1920s. In 1920, the British, while suppressing the "Mad Mullah" in Somalialand, used an Airco DH.9A fitted out as an air ambulance. It carried a single stretcher under a fairing behind the pilot. The French evacuated over 7,000 casualties during that period. By 1936, an organized military air ambulance service evacuated wounded from the Spanish Civil War for medical treatment in Nazi Germany, this service continued during the Second World War.

The first use of medevac with helicopters was the evacuation of three British pilot combat casualties by a US Army Sikorsky in Burma during WW2, and the first dedicated use of helicopters by U.S. forces occurred during the Korean War, between 1950 and 1953. The French used light helicopters in the First Indochina War. While popularly depicted as simply removing casualties from the battlefield (which they did), helicopters in the Korean War also moved critical patients to hospital ships after initial emergency treatment in field hospitals.

Knowledge and expertise of use of air ambulances evolved parallel to the aircraft themselves. By 1969, in Vietnam, the use of specially trained medical corpsmen and helicopter air ambulances led U.S. researchers to determine that servicemen wounded in battle had better rates of survival than motorists injured on California freeways. This inspired the first experiments with the use of civilian paramedics in the world. The US military recently employed UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters to provide air ambulance service during the Iraq War to military personnel and civilians. The use of military aircraft as battlefield ambulances continues to grow and develop today in a variety of countries, as does the use of fixed-wing aircraft for long-distance travel, including repatriation of the wounded. Currently, a NATO working group is investigating unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs) for casualty evacuation.

The first civilian uses of aircraft as ambulances were probably incidental. In northern Canada, Australia, and in Scandinavian countries, remote, sparsely populated settlements are often inaccessible by road for months at a time, or even year round. In some places in Scandinavia, particularly in Norway, the primary means of transportation between communities is by boat. Early in aviation history, many of these communities began to rely on civilian "bush" pilots, who fly small aircraft and transport supplies, mail, and visiting doctors or nurses. Bush pilots probably performed the first civilian air ambulance trips, albeit on an ad hoc basis—but clearly, a need for these services existed. In the early 1920s, Sweden established a standing air ambulance system, as did Siam (Thailand). In 1928 the first formal, full-time air ambulance service was established in the Australian outback. This organization became the Royal Flying Doctor Service and still operates. In 1934, Marie Marvingt established the first civil air ambulance service in Africa, in Morocco. In 1936, air ambulance services were established as part of the Highlands and Islands Medical Service to serve more remote areas of Highland Scotland.
