From #Style and allusions:
This is not onomatopoeia (which requires the word to sound like what it means). These names evoke the qualities of their people by etymology. The name "Lupin" doesn't sound like a wolf, it's just an allusion to the Latin word for it; if he were named "Awoooo" that might be onomatopoeia. Not sure what the correct phrase would be or how to change this without inserting original research. The cited sources require an account to see what they say. Tagging with "Clarify".
