| - Magvel is one of the other continents in Fire Emblem. It includes: Carcino, Frelia, Grado, Jehanna, Rausten, and Renias. The other continent is Elibe.
- One possibility could be that the 'vel' in 'Magvel' comes from the 'Vel' in Hindu tradition, a mythical spear wielded by the god Murugan. Also, spears used by the Tamil people of south India were called 'vels.' The 'mag' in 'Magvel' probably refers to 'magic,' but it could also imply 'magna,' which means 'great' in Latin, or to 'magi,' which was the name for the priestly upper class of ancient Persian society.

In the Japanese version of the name, マギ・ヴァル (Magi Val), the first part is quite clearly means "magi." The latter part is still vague, as ヴァル does not hold any meaning on its own. It may be derived from the Norse 'valr', which means "those slain in battle."
