| I'm from the North Country. Did you know the Sepharvites were a tribe, mentioned in 2 Kings 17:31, whom continued to burn their children to their pagan gods? ... I'd say they got a big fat Omnislash to the face from a spiky-haired warrior once upon a time. Discuss. |

Well, I know FFX draws heavy inspiration from religious texts, especially Hinduism. I remember stumbling across a blog post about how the summons in FFX are similar to avatars in Hinduism. This was years ago though. If I can find the blog I will post a link here. So, it wouldn't surprise me that Sephiroth's name might be in reference to something of a religious sort. Maybe somebody here knows more |

| I've been told that the name Sephiroth is related to attributes or vessels representing aspects of God in Jewish mysticism called the Sefirot. Is that what you meant by a reference to something religious? |

| Sephirot is a primal from FFXIV. That wiki page has the etymology of the name, which is indeed from Hebrew. |
