Aeris reminds me of Aries. The name of the God of war. It doesn't suit her at all.

Aerith is fine.

Don't forget Safer Sephiroth for Sepher Sephiroth. Would have been hilarious if he ended being Sephiros.

It is supposed to be a dumb tie in with the name Cloud. Cloud + Air. Just naming someone "air" would be super dumb so they had to add more letters to it to make it sound more fantasy anime.

Of course they are. Clearly the superior names would be Lilis, Griffis, Keis, Elizabes, Edis, Fais, and Judis.

I think they based the "th" sound off Arabic, where it's supposed to sound like an s. Lots of their summons are based off Arabic stuff, so I wouldn't be surprised, but I'm just speculating.

I don't give two fucks what people call the character, but your examples are clearly typos. You haven't presented any evidence that "Aeris" is a typo.

Her name is Earisu in Japanese. the su at the end of her name translates to either s or th when translating from Japanese to English. In another example Sephiroth is Sefirosu in the Japanese game. The translators (wrongly) assumed that her name was intended to be spelled Aeris instead of Aerith. Obviously Sephiros sounds weird so they correctly translated his name.

It's just that th and su are rendered identically in Japanese as su due to the limited sound system. This is the cause of most name translation errors. Japanese has very few sounds, so you can get lost quickly if you don't actually know the word in question. Many translators were underpaid and not native English speakers so you got a lot of bad translations compared to what you see now (though bad translations still happen).

Also her name is based on Earth. Aeirth is Earisu in Japanese so you can see how they did simple replacement with the Japanese equivalent sounds.

No, it's supposed a "near-anagram of Earth" The developers have explicitly stated this.

Sephiroth is an actual word though.

There's a fantastic Youtube video on the original Japanese version and how it was kind of lost in translation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZefYEaNUJ7w

If you watch this you can kind of see where they're going with some of the character traits in the remake. The translation of the original lost a lot of the flavor that the Japanese version had. For example: Aerith has a sense of humor thats lost in the English translation.

Tiida. So neither. Sometimes the name was intentionally changed like in FFVI. Tina became Terra.

Pretty sure it's always been officially romanized as "Tidus" in Japanese material.
