like heracles name which means glory to hera
its from the words cleos=glory and hera(the name of the queen of the gods and zeus' wife)
another example that comes to mind is telemachos(odysseus' son if you heard of him)
thay gave him this name cause his father was still fighting at troy when he was born
and it comes from the words tele=away and mache=fight

just tell to me or bion what do you have in mind about the name and we will give you the greek counterpart

what about the female gods ?

the female names almost always end in either -e or -a
but I can't remember any name that has a meaning or something
its just random names
b*tches don't deserve meaningful names

could you make me a list
or link me to a list of

greek words related to light and rainbow, in english letters >.>

etc

[Green13]

Photios is a Greek name that means light.

[Vlamidjan]

linking you would be more difficult so I will just translate to you the first words that come to mind
wherever I have "e" its because it sounds like the letter. I don't really know if this is the correct spelling in english letters(or if there is a spelling at all)

Spoiler

bright=photenos
dazzle=thamvos
flash=lampse
glimmer=ahtida
glint=lampse(again) or antaugea
glow=lampse(again) or perose
luminous=photenos
radiance=aktenovolia
rainbow=uraneo toxo
shimmer=lamperesma
shine=lampse(yes again)
sparkle=spentheresma
spark=spetha
twilight=lekophos

I hope these are enough
if I have forgotten something just ask me
