Hey people Gropius isn't even english it's german so it doesn't come from Grope...Also natural makes sense seeing as N was natural to himself.Also something about the name's order is off...shouldn't Harmonia come last or first (if they are doing japanese name order) seeing how he shares the name with Ghetsis who is his father...unless Ghetsis full last name is actually two- Harmonia Gropius...

^Ghetsis Harmonia Gropius? Not sound too bad actually.

Just like magmaruby said, the Gropius part in N's name probably not coming from either germany or english but somewhere else.

Natural Harmonia Gropius?? wth??????? What type of name is that!?!?!??!


How surprising =_____=. Natural I can get but Harmonia Gropius. What type of name is that. Sounds like nature groping or something. I feel bad for N since his dad has Bad sense in naming his children =__=. I thought that was his real name.. LOL WOW He's a prince that's why you how long their names are...

Edit: I wouldn't be surprise is Ghetsis and that Lady who's Zoroark was his parents.

I think the joke was it sounds like it has the word "grope" in it... we weren't insinuating that's actually what it means :P

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS. I just found the link between N's name!

Gropius designed the United States Embassy in Greece (noting that Unova is based on New York, aka US and therefore the last name is paying tribute to that in terms of relating to the other characters and the other part of his name @ Greek).

Harmonia is apart of Greek mythology.

Concordia, also on that page, is one of the two people raising N. Harmonia's Roman counterpart is Concordia. Anthea is under the guidance of Hera, the Greek God.

So yeah, N is Greek, not German. :x

Yeah I don't get where you guys got grope and Tropius from, I mean the latter is obvious but come one, we have bigger, and cleaner, minds than that xD

Nice work Nica! N does look Greek. This may also mean Concordia may be his mum?

Oh, that's a very interesting find!, nica...

I wonder if Gamefreak plans to implement some Roman or Greek mythology into the third installment, or any future game for that matter. Nonetheless, that's for another discussion...

On another note, Ghetsis's (that's a mouthful) name seems to have some Greek origin as well - Ghetsis is a corrupt romanisation of ゲーチス, which is pronounced Gechisu (with emphasis on the e) apparently derives from the Greek word for sorcery.

LMAO. WHAT! I'm sorry, but there is every chance I could die here of laughter and this thread will be the last thing I ever see.

Nature......Harmonia......Gropius.

It reminds me of a Friends quote: "Hi, my name is Rain. I have my own kiln, and my dress is made out of wheat."

Why hide my name? XD

I... was planning to look up Ghetsis' name actually, which further backs up that N is Greek, right now trying to find any further links between them and I can't tbh. I don't know how sorcery relates to Gods and such though. Maybe N's name means that he is the all natural member of the family, while Ghetsis uses sorcery aka not natural, so N vs Ghetsis could relate be sorta like Reshiram x Zekrom in a sense? :x Actually, this makes me wonder what Concordia/Ghetsis'/the other one's middle names are, maybe that could further explain why the names are as they are. Hmmm, can't find any relevant holidays either relating to why it was revealed then. :(

im not surprised that Gropius is German. it's the surname of an architect. somone who constructs things. there is a lot of German references in B/W
for starters, the is the protagonists names. Hilda and Hilbert. both are German names.
then there is deino, zweilos, and hydreigon. each has the German word for a number corresponding with the number of heads they each have in their names. ein=one, zwei=two, drei=three.
and third, Ghetsis is similar to the word "gehen". it means "to go" ghets is a conjugate of gehen. its comonly used in "wie gehts dir?" which literally translates into "how goes you" meaning how are you?
there is also a german speaking guy in that one building in castelia city.

but what intrigues me is that Harmonia is a Greek goddess. the immortal goddess of harmony and concord.

so it's stands to reason that Natural Harmonia Gropius' names means "natural harmony constructor"
this fits right in to the theme of black and white. he was trying to construct a natural harmony among people and Pokemon.

did i just blow your mind?

But still, as I said, Gropious designed the US embassy in Greece, and with the fact that Harmonia and Concordia are actually Greek, and that Ghetsis' direct translation is a Greek name, yeaah. There are also French speakers in B/W on your other note, and other languages I can't remember - doesn't mean that it represents Germany. :x

Also on the Deino name thing: You've also got...

"Gigalith's English and Japanese names may have been derived from gigas, a term used to describe a race of earth-born giants in Greek mythology, and the Greek word lithos meaning "stone," used as the suffix -lith in English. "

"The dora in its name comes from either dragon or hydra, a possible reference to the multi-headed hydra of Greek lore."

"Deino could also be derived from the ancient Greek word deinos, which means terrifying. It could also come from dinosaurs such as the Deinosuchus and Deinonychus. Monozu probably derives from mono, a Greek prefix meaning one, and 頭 zu, Japanese for head, its full name literally reading "one head".'

There's more but... while your sentence makes sense, I think there could be a German and Greek theme going on here tbh, for it to have multiple meanings for both.

I couldn't find any new links either, regarding any Greek heritage or meanings. I may have a deeper look later, looking for anything that I can find. My researching muscles could use a little flexing...

I do agree that the discovery of the names of Concordia, Anthea and Ghetsis would further unravel this mystery. I really like how you picked up on that the N and Ghetsis juxtaposition is comparable to Reshiram and Zekrom - it makes a lot of sense, actually. Reshiram is supposed to be somewhat of a feminine dragon, and N seems to display stereotypical feminine qualities (long hair, caring for Pokémon, etc), and Zekrom seems to be a mirror to Ghetsis as well.

Gropius? Natural Harmonia I can understand but that last thing is just too weird. Gropius sounds like some kind of creepy gross monster, that gropes people. I don't know. Also it seems to me like they got a little of the idea of L, cause L's real name is
Spoiler:
L Lawliet
, and that's also a little weird and doesn't really make sense.
