Its the tree of life in norse mythology or something.

EDIT: Alan Schezar is the name of some dude from some anime with a long name that i cant spell...

I'm gonna skip the above posts...

Arcturus is some bear constellation
Yggdrassil is a Norse Tree, I think.
Magellan is some guy that was an explorer or something like that
Archon: One of the nine chief magistrates of ancient Athens(from dictionary)
Templar: A holy knight, related to defense of holiness, and search for the Holy Land, I think
Corsair is ship used by pirates, or something like that

That's all I remember.

Of course there are these things. Blizzard borrowed it. For example, look at Star Wars. Look closely. Find all the things George Lucas essentially "borrowed" form real world.

Degobah = "Bo - de - ga - Bay", syllables rearranged". Naboo is like Japan in it's art (face paint etc.)

Valkyrie - Norse Mythology, Virgin that takes the Vikings to Valhalla (Norse Heaven) when they die in battle.

Magellan - The man who tried to circumnavigate the whole world but died in Indonesia. His crew made it back though.
