Eleanor Pearlstein asked Jennifer A. Nielsen:

Where do you get the names for your characters? (specifically the ones in Ascendance) some of them are really unique, I've never heard them before or come across them while researching. And do you make up the names for the kingdoms? Do you take words from other languages and twist them Or are they right out of your imagination?
