✶ ┊ 𝐅𝐔𝐋𝐋 𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄 + NAME MEANINGS
ON THE 31ST DAY OF OCTOBER IN THE YEAR 2002, a loving couple had their little girl after months ago of anticipation, eagerness, and lots of preparation. The loving couple had ended up naming their little girl, Kai Artemis Freya. The little girl's mother had decided on the name Kai because she really wanted a name that wasn't particularly feminine noir exactly masculine. On the other hand, the girl's father had appreciated/ agreed to the name Kai due to the name's meanings and where they come; The name Kai is a typically male name of Japanese and Hawaiian derivation with the meaning of "sea." and there is also ties to Frisian origins as a diminutive of the name kaimbe, with the meaning of "warrior". As for her middle name that comes from on of her father's favorite Greek mythologies - anything and everything that has to deal with Apollo and Artemis. To the redheaded girl's father it seemed only fitting that he name his daughter after the powerful Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, animals, childbirth, and not to mention the moon. The Greek goddess was also a protector of young girls. As for her last name, it comes from her mother's side of the family. Kai's families surname is derived from the old Norse name freyja, meaning "lady & noble woman.". The families surname also happens to be the name of the Norse goddess of love, warfare, sex, fertility, death, beauty, magic, and witchcraft.✶ ┊ 𝐍𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐒

𝐈𝐈. Angry Redhead: Kai had originally been given this nickname by her best friend, Fangs Fogarty, due to her overall personality and just how pissed off the girl can tend to get. This nickname would go on to be used by various North siders like Reggie Mantle and Kevin Keller. Overall, Kai is neutral on how she feels about this nickname.
𝐈𝐈𝐈. fire cracker: the nickname was given to her by Jughead Jones, which has always been used in a kind of teasing and very enduring way.
