Belby: Belby is derived from either of two locations in the United Kingdom; Beelby of Lincolnshire or Bielby of Yorkshire.

Flavius: Flavius is an Ancient Roman name that meant "golden" or "yellow-haired". It was a common surname for Roman families. It is derived from the Latin word "flavus" which means "yellow, golden". Flavius was also the name of the 1st century Roman emperors Vespasian, Titus and Domitian.

Marcus: Marcus is a name that is possibly derived from the Roman god of war, Mars. Several Ancient Romans bore this name including Marcus Tullius Cicero, Marcus Antonius (Mark Antony) and Marcus Aurelius.

Damocles: Damocles is the Latinized form of the Greek name "Damokles", which was derived from the Greek word "damos", meaning "the people" or "demos", meaning "glory".
