    Possible Sylvanas Name Origin

    Hello,

    I just recently noticed the similarity to Sylvanas's (Queen of Forsaken) name, and a Roman deity's name. Silvanus, who was supposed to be the god of the forests, wilderness, etc. Considering that Sylvanas was a ranger/hunter and the name resemblance Blizzard might have gotten the name from this deity.

    Silvanus (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Most of WoW's lore is borrowed from lovecraftian and norse/greek etc. backgrounds.
