Oh, I didn't know that. You're probably right

A 'makar' is a type of Scottish poet, and a 'medley' (Medli) is several songs played one after another. 'Fado' is a genre of Portuguese music, and 'Laruto' is remarkably similar to 'Ruto' from OoT. 'Rito' is also similar to 'Ruto'. (EDIT: Just notice 'Ruto' is also a company that makes fish food ).
'Komali' is an Indian name meaning 'tender' or 'delicate', I guess reflecting his character when you first meet him. 'Quill', the postman, is a rather obvious one...
'Zephos' and 'Cyclos', very similar to 'zephyr' and 'cyclone' - appropriate for wind gods.
A 'sturgeon' is a type of fish, and an 'orca' is a whale.
'Lenzo' (pictobox guy) sounds like 'lens', and I believe a 'Zunari' is a type of Japanese helmet (Zunari gives you the magic armour).

They obviously thought quite a lot about making the names mean something in WW.
p.s. sorry for editing loads, I kept thinking of new ones to ads
