DOWLAS STEED / NAME ANALYSIS
Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publishing, please remove it or upload a different image.
'DOWLAS'
origin: unknown meanings: a coarse linen or cotton cloth extra: again with the symbolism, but the fact dowlas fabric is very plain and expressionless, yet resilient and strong is something i think represents his persona really well (which you'll see soon!!)
also, the word can be pronounced a number of ways, but i pronounce it as it looks - aka two syllables, DOW (like ouch) - LAS
'STEED'
origin: old english meanings: a horse stallion extra: more symbolism ahh! but stallions are obviously associated with medieval war-horses, who are noble, heroic and brave (relating well to dowlas's actions during the reaping). they're associated with power and strength, and tend to be independent, making them somewhat intimidating (something that contrasts greatly with the innocent purity and gentleness of the 'fawn').
but other than that, the surname also originated in popularity from the industrial towns that I use to inspire eight
