I researched a couple of villager names at reference.com and found a few interesting meanings.
I also saw Unagi at a sushi shop and was wondering what it meant, that is what motivated me to research the names.

Poema - puma in dutch
Unagi - an eel
Tuna - a type of fish (as we all know)
Ashby - a city in america
City - a large town
Huka - load
Zen - chinese buddhism

If you have any more feel free to post them.

Oh and also, Mali is a country in africa

Dada is a form of art

Well, now we know why the GIRLS are called dada LOL

I had a little girl named Dada in the lost children.Right after she was two and running around another baby came.She was still two when the baby was two and now the two of them are running around together.I named the second one Mama.To match her sister's name.

How did you get villagers with the names "Poema" and "Ashby"?? Also, Bali is an island in Indonesia.

"Malo" means bad in Spanish. I also saw someone post that "Kissa" means cat in Finnish.

Obi is a Japanese word referring to several different types of sashes worn with kimono and keikogi by both men and women.
