Like [[Quillan|the continent of the same name]], the Quill Kingdom's name refers to a feather used for inking. Likewise, in-universe name "Quill Kingdom" is a translation of Old Rokadong "Fitaerhuwi" (Modern Rokadong ''Fitárvi'', Modern Kairitelan ''Fitayuga''), which, as a compound noun, was translated as "quill pen" by Linnerian scholars, despite being a proper noun. In fact, this makes the name homonymous with the English name of the species known as [[quill]]s, when that name is, in fact, phonetically loaned from Rokadong {{term|kawil}}. | Like [[Quillan|the continent of the same name]], the Quill Kingdom's name refers to a feather used for inking.
