Need a name, feminine if it's gendered, meaning "Dagger of Light". She's named D. O. L. (say it "Doll") now, but that's kind of crummy.

Well... I just hit the ol' Universal Translator Superpower and got the following.

Russian - Кинжал Света (ahem... sorry, that'd be something like "Kenshaal Sveta")
German - Dolch die Lichtes
Spanish - Daga de Luz

That's if you are looking for literal translations of "Dagger of Light".

Thanks for your assistance! Is the klingon translation available?

Leoht Brand (I think they can be combined Leohtbrand.)

Or so says the Old-English dictinary, anyway. It should mean Blade of light, though I probably put the words in the wrong order or something.

I could also meantion that "Brenda" is a real name, scandavian in origen, that means sword or bladed weapon. Hmmm, maybe Brendelin? both scandanavian names (brenda and Elin for light)?
