World name origins?
Most of the name origins are easy to guess. Carrotus, Diamondus, Ceramicus, are all common names with -us in the end.
The ones I have no clue on, or at least on a part of, are the following: - Technoir (why Techno, and is its suffix the french "Noir" or the acronym "I.R."?) - Fanolint (the "olint" part) - Nippius (The "nippi" part could mean many things, but nothing ice related comes to my mind) - Marbelara (why "Lara"?) - Pezrock (is Pez the spanish for Fish, or those rectangular candies?) - Crysilis (I know it comes from Crystal, but why "ilis"?) And the unofficial ones: - Grentenus (it's green, but what does "tenus" stand for?) - Ozymandius (no, seriously, nothing egypt related comes to my mind at all) |
"Nippy" means cold. "Chrysalis" is an existing word derived from the ancient greek for "gold".

"Crysilis" sounds like it could be a combo between 'Crisis' and 'Crystal', but that's probably not it.
|
The "Fan" in "Fanolint" is obvious, the "Olint" part is most likely referencing this infamous greenhouse supplier.
|
Pretty sure Pezrock is referring to the candies.
Marbelara, I'm guessing is referring to the marble statues and temple/rich house type blocks. I always picture them as differently stained shades of marble stone. I do wonder, though: if we have Nippius from JJ1, does that make the Hippie world from JJ2...Hippius? |

The beach world probably has no name, as "Beachius" just sounds wrong. |

I shared this link to the JJ2+ chat group a while back, but I don't know if there's any connection--likely, the planet came first. |
Dreempipes... WTH does dreem mean?

Dreem = Meerd backwards

Also, you forgot the important part, Pipes is Sepip backwards. |
So the name is actually a backwords version of Mirrored Seepip, and it's written with a diffirent pronounsation, like Raneforus.
Seriously, guys. What does dreem mean (or should I say, MEEN) |
