Jadzia is a Polish name. Pronounced Yah-dja. Dj as in "judge". Dunno what it means.
Kira means "star" in Turkish (or "marketplace," IIRC, after a woman named Esther Quira). Hoshi is Japanese for "star".
Benjamin can be rendered as "favoured son", which is funny considering his arc.
Julian means "youthful", and Bashir is, I believe, Arabic for "bearer of good news." Henh. Kinda funny, 'cause he's a doctor.
Lessee... Spock was a famous Doctor; in the novels Uhura was given the first name Nyota ("star"); Chekov was a famous writer; Hikaru means "shining cloud" in Japanese, IIRC; Jake (as in Sisko) means "supplanter"; phlox is a plant; Malcolm means "dove," which is funny given his blow-it-up-now attitude; Reed means "redhaired" or, well, reed; Archer means "bowman" unsurprisingly, which one could interpret to mean someone who strikes a mark; Jonathan means "the Lord has given," and brings to mind the second half of "the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away"...
Hmmm. That's all I can think of. Bit of a theme going with girls with names meaning "star", though, y'notice?
Edit: Ah. "Sisko" is apparently Spanish for "Frenchman." Go figure.[/color
