    Cleretic mentions "an old romantic custom in William III's time", so an English custom, which sounds unlikely to automatically carry over to a fantasy-Mongolian culture.

    A fantasy Mongolian culture living in an area once inhabited by an older civilization that proliferated across most of the fantasy world, having conquered it. That same fantasy Mongolian culture having myths based around actual events concerning that same empire. With underwater area in the steppe having a Hyur statue face at the bottom.

    Names for things often carry across time and cultures in the real world. A fantasy world made by people from our world isn't any different.

    (Signature portrait by Amaipetisu)

    "I thought that my invincible power would hold the world captive, leaving me in a freedom undisturbed. Thus night and day I worked at the chain with huge fires and cruel hard strokes. When at last the work was done and the links were complete and unbreakable, I found that it held me in its grip." - Rabindranath Tagore

    It's possible, but it's nowhere near conclusive enough to say that it "is" part of Xaela custom and that explains the name.
