Hey all. I'm curious if any books, be they FR or Greyhawk or generic, ever said what the name Lolth means. (Or Araushnee, for that matter!)

I have not seen anything, however that might be because the name does not have a meaning. I do understand that many names do have meaning. I do not believe all names have a meaning. In fact I have met people who's family name was what was written down (Invented) at Ellis Island immigrant station.

"Small beings can have small wisdom," the dragon said. "And small wise beings are better than small fools. Listen: Wisdom is caring for afterwards."
"Caring for afterwards ...? Ker repeated this without understanding.
"After action, afterwards," the dragon said. "Choose the afterwards first, then the action. Fools choose action first."

That's most likely the case here, but I was curious and thought I'd see if anybody knew :)
