So I've been thinking about Ahm Araeng, it sounds very similar to other draconic names like Sohr Khai and Sohm Al, but I'm not super well versed in dragonspeak, what does it mean? Also, could the name being draconic hint toward a location... perhaps Meracydia?
Yes, that's definitely Dragonspeak. Ahm can be found in the Dragonspeak Dictionary here on the Lore Forum, meaning 'Song'. Araeng isn't in that Dictionary, though.
Since the meaning of the first part is song, I'd personally rule out a location. Also, Meracydia had a lot of different tribes with varying languages, so we can't be sure yet that Meracydian locations would be named in Dragonspeak at all.
But, if you don't mind helping my memory a bit, in which context is Ahm Araeng dropped? I feel like having read it before, bur can't place it...
EDIT: Nevermind, Google is your friend. But it is called Amh Araeng, not Ahm, and thus isn't Dragonspeak. (If it was, I wonder if we'd meet another one of Midgardsomr's children.)
Ah yeah, I had trouble finding the correct spelling of it, seems I didn't find the correct one, lol
Coincidentally the Starlight NPCs first name is Amh xD
Amh is a Miqote name so the etymology might come from them. In the recent interview with Koji it's mentioned that a great deal of Miqote in the latest migratory waves have come from Ilsabard as well as Meracydia.
Ethys seems to think Amh Araeng is Dragonspeak too

They're Keeper Miqo'te, their names are in that language.
