How mysterious time is. When you're waiting to get out of school, it drags on forever, and at the weekends, it passes by all too quickly. It is no surprise then that many authors would turn their attentions to this dimension and even name characters after it. The most common form is to name characters, especially Family Theme Naming, given how births have order and time does too, after months or seasons, but other types occasionally appear; it also works to name characters after times of day like Dawn, Aurora, Eve, and Twilight. See also "Day of the Week" Name. |

The protagonist of Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series, as well as much of her immediate family. Inverted with her brothers Anton and Joffy. "I was born on a Thursday, hence the name. My brother was born on a Monday and they called him Anton - go figure. My mother was called Wednesday but was born on a Sunday - I don't know why - and my father had no name at all . . ." |

The opening cast of Blend-S. For those who know kanji, Kaho, Akizuki and Mafuyu refers to summer, autumn and winter respectively. Maika Sakuranomiya's case is less obvious, but recall sakura—or Cherry Blossoms—are the ultimate symbol of spring in Japanese culture. | |

RWBY: All females with seasonal names are very plot significant, whether connected to the Four Maidens or for another reason. An ancient fairy tale details four sisters whose compassion helped a callous old hermit. In gratitude, the old man blessed the sisters with great mystical power to help and guide humanity, which would be inherited across many generations of young women called "Maidens". These Maidens are known as the "Seasons": Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall (sometimes coded as Autumn). The old man is Ozpin. Autumn is introduced in Volume 3 as the code name for Amber, the Fall Maiden who is attacked by Cinder Fall to steal her power. In Volume 5, Raven correctly guesses that Cinder gave herself the name "Fall" to show off the fact that she is the Fall Maiden. Winter is the older sister and mentor of Weiss. She has mastered the Schnee family's unique inherited Glyph-based Semblance, is General Ironwood's Number Two, and someone he has groomed for a specific destiny. She is the dying Winter Maiden's carer, for the purpose of inheriting the power when Fria passes. She fails to receive the power at the end of Volume 7, but does receive it at the end of Volume 8. Spring is the codename for the Spring Maiden, who is called Vernal (which means "Spring"). As Raven Branwen's right-hand woman, she is a dangerous bandit who becomes the key to both Salem and Ozpin's sides ability to access the Relic of Knowledge. It is eventually revealed she deliberately took the name to evoke a reference to the Spring Maiden because she is the decoy for the real Spring Maiden, something that fools both Salem and Ozpin's sides. Summer is Ruby's Missing Mom, a Huntress who never returned home from a mission. She is a driving influence in Ruby's desire to become a Huntress to make the world a better place and is the person she inherited her mystical Grimm-slaying silver eyes from. Her fate is a plot mystery, heavily implied to have an important connection to Ozpin and Salem's war until the Atlas Arc begins to lift the veil on how she's connected to Salem. |

Devil Children series gives us several examples, albeit in unusual fashion. Protagonists of Black Book and Red Book are Mirai, meaning "future", and Setsuna, meaning "instant", or a smallest unit of time possible. Setsuna has a brother, Nagahisa, whose name is comprised of characters for "eternal" and "long time". The protagonist of the sequel game, White Book, is named Masaki Kuzuha, and his name also means "future". |

Film example: the sisters in My Neighbor Totoro are named "Satsuki" and "Mei"; the word "satsuki" is the old Japanese name for the month of May. Their sharing a month is apparently a reference to the two of them being a single character in early drafts of the script. | |

Gaido Venerdi, Latooni Subota and Garnet Sandi of Super Robot Wars: Original Generation have surnames based on days of the week: "Venerdi" is "Friday" in Italian, "Subota" is "Saturday" in Russian and "Sandi" is "Sunday" in French. Making this more deliberate, the localization turns Garnet's surname directly into Sunday. | |

Kamen Rider gained one thanks to Decade and the One-Steve Limit. Decade's female lead is named Natsumi (Summer), but so is a character from Kamen Rider Blade. When the latter appears in Decade, she is presented as an Alternate Universe version named Haruka (Spring). Kamen Rider Double follows the trend with female lead Akiko (Fall/Autumn) and one-shot character Fuyumi (Winter). In Kamen Rider Zi-O, the antagonistic Time Jackers derive their names from words related to time...which is complicated by uncertain translations. We have Ora/Hora (the Italian and Spanish words for "hour" respectively), Heure/Uhr (the French and German words for "hour"), and leader Swartz (whose name is theorized to be a combination of "quartz" and "schwartz", the German word for black).

The October Daye series: So far, in addition to October, the protagonist, we've seen a January, an April, a May, and a June. January and April are related by adoption. May was originally October's Fetch. In the third book, Lily comments, "Whatever will we do when the months of the year are used entirely?" Word of God says that in Faerie, it's rude to name someone directly after someone else, but honoring somebody by using a name with a related meaning is acceptable. October's name is somehow connected with September Torquill, January's mother. There's also August, who's October's older half-sister who vanished years before October was born. Gillian means "July". Word of God says this is deliberate. Let's not forget Evening Winterrose. |

In Kamen Rider Zi-O, the antagonistic Time Jackers derive their names from words related to time...which is complicated by uncertain translations. We have Ora/Hora (the Italian and Spanish words for "hour" respectively), Heure/Uhr (the French and German words for "hour"), and leader Swartz (whose name is theorized to be a combination of "quartz" and "schwartz", the German word for black). The movie-exclusive Tid is the Odd Name Out. Their successor in Zi-O's crossover with Kamen Rider Zero-One, Finis, has a name invoking finality, like the end of time. | |

In Sleeping Beauty, the title character and the prince have two children, named Aurore ("Dawn") and Jour ("Day"). Though usually Adapted Out (along with the whole second half of the story), the former presumably influenced Tchaikovsky's ballet, and more famously the Disney film, to name Sleeping Beauty herself "Aurora." | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Twilight Sparkle's immediate family has names based on times of day: Twilight and her mother Twilight Velvet are both named after twilight, while her father Night Light is named after common sleep aides used at night. Brother Shining Armor is the exception, though still keeps to the family's secondary theme of light motifs. Characters related to Princess Celestia often have day-themed names, including her former students Twilight Sparkle and Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer (indicating nighttime) who eventually attends the School of Friendship, and Twilight's own future student Luster Dawn. |

Mafuyu's name (真冬) has the kanji for "winter" (冬). Ritsuka's name (立�) has the kanji for "summer" (�). Haruki's name (春樹) has the kanji for "spring" (春). Akihiko's name (秋彦) has the kanji for "fall" (秋). |

In Fruits Basket, all of the cursed members of the Sohma family (except for Yuki and Kyo) take their names from the traditional names of the months from the Japanese lunar calendar; for example, Isuzu "Rin" Sohma is named from "Isuzukure tsuki" (June) and Hatsuharu "Haru" Sohma is named directly from "Hatsuharu" (January). Their names each correspond to the months that their Eastern Zodiac animal is associated with (except for Momiji and Kureno, since author Natsuki Takaya accidentally mixed up their names). | |

In Urusei Yatsura, the school that the characters attend is named Tomobiki, and there are occasional mentions of another school named Butsumetsu. These names are from the rokuy�, a cycle of six days (similar to the seven-day week) in the Japanese lunisolar calendar. Butsumetsu is considered the unluckiest day of the rokuy� (it symbolizes the day Buddha died), so most of the students from that school are delinquents. | |

Time Bokan is a series based on Time Travel, so it's no surprise that some of its protagonists have time-based names: Yattodetaman has the good main characters named Toki Wataru (literally "goes through time"), Himeguri Koyomi (both "himekuri" and "koyomi" are a reference to a type of calendar) and Princess Karen (Karen sounds like "karenda", or "calendar"). The Italian dub renamed the good guys Beppe Ieri (ieri = yesterday), Tina Domani (domani = tomorrow) and Principessa Domenica (= Princess Sunday), and the Terrible Trio as well: Principessa Lunedì (Princess Monday), Primo Settembre (September the First) and Due Ottobre (October the Second). Time Bokan 24 has the main characters Tokio (time) and Calen (calendar). |
