Things to Know about Nadja's name

Her name is pronounced Nadia (or Nadya), not Na-dzha. It is a proper American name -- as well as a proper Indian name, and a proper Polish name.

Devi is the Sanskrit word for Goddess, which is appropriate, since she happens to be one.

Stefanova is a patronymic. (No, Poles traditionally do not use patronymics. Poles also do not traditionally speak only English, embrace atheism, marry Indians, or have German friends. Her Daddy is not a typical Pole, though he may be somewhat typical for a Polish-American.)
