Some new information has come to light on the origins of the four sages' Japanese names. Each of them are named after the oldest variants of rock, fish, bird, and human in IRL history.

Agraston's Japanese name, アーガスタ (Āgasta), is derived from the oldest kind of rock, Acasta Gneiss (アカスタ片麻岩). "Acasta" in Japanese is アカスタ. Extend the first vowel sound ア into アー, add a diacritic to カ, and you get アーガスタ, or "Āgasta"

Qia's Japanese name, キア (Kia), is derived from the oldest kind of fish, the Myllokunmingia (ミロクンミンギア). The "-gia" part at the end in Japanese is ギア. Remove the diacritic at the beginning and ギア becomes キア, or "Kia".

Raphica's Japanese name, クラフィカ (Kraphica), is derived from the oldest kind of bird, the Archaeopteryx lithographica (アーケオプテリクス・リトグラフィカ). The "-graphica" part at the end in Japanese is グラフィカ, remove the diacritic at the beginning, and you get クラフィカ, or "Kraphica".

Ardi's Japanese name, アルディ (Ardi), is derived from the oldest scientific genus of human, Ardipithecus (アルディピテクス). The "Ardi-" part at the beginning in Japanese is アルディ, which is the same as how Ardi's name is written in Japanese.
