Etymology

Clairvius may derive from a Haitian man, Clairvius Narcisse, who was allegedly turned into a zombie - especially appropriate given Haiti's Inferi mascots (Wikipedia). The word clair comes from Latin clarus, meaning "clear, light, famous" (Baby Namespedia).

Hyppolite is the surname of a famous Haitian painter, Hector Hyppolite. The Old Greek name Hippolyte means "freer of horses" (Baby Namespedia).
