Etymology

 * Etain is a form of Étaín which is possibly derived from Old Irish ét meaning "jealousy". In Irish mythology she is the subject of the 9th-century tale The Wooing of Étaín. She was the wife of Midir, but his jealous first wife Fuamnach transformed her into a fly. She was accidentally swallowed, and then reborn to the woman who swallowed her. After she grew again to adulthood she married the Irish high king Eochaid Airem, having no memory of Midir. Midir and Étaín were eventually reunited after Midir defeated Eochaid in a game of chess.
 * Awan in the Book of Jubilees, is the daughter of Adam and Eve and sister of Seth, Abel, Azura and more, and the twin sister and wife of Cain.
 * Margules is a form of Margolis which is from the Hebrew מרגלית (margalit) meaning "pearl".

Trivia

 * Etain is the eldest of triplets; her identical twin is Emyma but was forced back into the womb by Elena almost killing her. This may be the unintentional source of the bad blood between Etain and Elena.
 * Despite being identical twins, Emyma now Amara and Etain look very different from one another as adults.
 * Etain's cold and mean attitude to other's is in reality a way Etty used to hide the heartbreak and anger she felt towards her parents and siblings for forgetting and unintentionally bullying her beloved twin Emyma. This is possibly the more reasonable reason for Etain and Elena's relationship.

 * Etty's favorite food is rosemary shortbread cookies.
 * Her favorite genre novels are romance.
 * Her favorite type of guy is a strong and collected one.
