Doing a direct translation, "Christopher" means "Christ-bearer", "Christ"
means "anointed one", and "Wright" means smith.

Sturnan: Sangaver (Sanga from sangei "anoint", ver from verei "carry")
Narlos ("smith")
Hansu: Bhindeg (Bhind from bhíndi "anoint", eg from uhegi "carry") Malha
(from malhu "blacksmith") (That's /BIndEg malxa/, just so you know.)
Lashkos: Unkware (from ukwir "to anoint" and poftar "to carry") Firos
("blacksmith", from L. ferreus "[made] of iron, TRANS cruel, TRANS
death")

I haven't bothered much with botanical terms, so I can't translate
"Hemlock" (except perhaps Nekmedh, Sturnan for "Death honeyed beverage",
but that's different).

The newly confused
Unkware Firos
