Q. I'm at a loss for a surname for a character of mine -- Misha, a mute nineteen-year-old girl living in Cavite. I need a last name that could somehow have a meaning of silence, or mute, a subtle tie in to the story. And it doesn't have to be Cavite, thats only where she lives, not neccesarily where she was born. Open to anyones suggestions. Asked by Hanna W - Mon Nov 3 14:07:07 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. I'm thinking that finding a word for "silent" or "mute" in a foreign language that sounds right for you could be quite poetic. So my personal suggestions come from the Hebrew words.
