Save for Reese, all of their names at least came from Asian origins. And even still, her last name Chloris comes from Greek, where Mistral is widely believed to have a mix of both Greco-Roman & Asian themes. So far though, the Asian theme has been more predominant.

Arslan Altan's name & surname are Turkish & Mongolian in origin. She also has a Buddhist symbol known as the "endless knot" on her outfit, which seems to be her emblem.

Bolin's first name comes from Chinese. His last name is Basque, which is a European language and breaks the rule a bit.

Nadir's full name, Nadir Shiko, is a portmanteau of the Japanese term nadeshiko.

And if you consider that Nora is also likely Mistralian to some extent, that could add a whole new realm of possibilities. Because then, you have Nordic, Greco-Roman, and Asian influences all coming together into something both beautiful and chaotic.

Oh, speaking of which...if the thing about Nora is true, then that means all of JNPR has their origins in Mistral, and we know for a fact that all of them have at least some connection to it.

Jaune camped in Mistral as a group of 10  (himself, 7 sisters, parents). Unless his family is rich, they're likely doing local vacationing to save money, and so likely live in Mistral.

Nora is the wild card, but I find it almost impossible for her to come from Vale to Mistral as an orphan. Perhaps her parents came over and died?

Pyrrha was born in Mistral, or had at least lived there for a time.

Ren lived in Kuroyuri, in the overall kingdom of Mistral.
