Find out the eorzean historical figures some of them may be based on maybe?
Urianger previously made a few remarks in Shadowbringers about how how the various sun deities including Azyema, the Warden, and Azim, the Dawn Father both trace their common origins to a certain similarly-named individual, which also happens to match up symbolically with a certain soul crystal. The real question is who the other 11 are, and whether they match up with said individual's colleagues or predecessors.

While we're at it, there's another set of 12 names tied to Ivalice lore that reference different members of the same group of individuals. It's not really all that surprising that different cultures have a shared subconscious memory of them pre-sundering.
