"Saraphim" is a misspelled form of the archaic word "seraphim" which is the plural form of "seraph" meaning "flaming spirit". The word is used to refer to a group of angels.

I named myself this because I was thinking of Feanor, whose name means "fiery spirit". I don't have a particular liking for Feanor, I just thought that was pretty nifty. So here we are.

I think it was Nilpaurion Felagund who said that the misspelling on my name would make the translation into "flemming spirit". This is marginly less nifty, but there's nothing I can do about it now.
