3 things.
1: I wanted a name to be inspired by Greek
2: I wanted a name to be inspired by German
3: I read the book series The Farsala Trilogy
I thought the name was cool and wondered about the etymology. To translate Farsala to Greek you get the city state of Pharsalos. Farsala is the german translated version (unchanged in English). Sounds particularly german to me with the stress of F and R, but I have no idea about the German language and that could just be childish speculation as when I adapted the name.
