About Hjalti, I totaly agree. The name is Icelandic and I even mentioned before how there was a chieftain by that name in Iceland, either in 10th or 13th century.

Talos is the name given to him by Elder Scrolls Nords, after he used the power of t'hum to defeat the enemies at Old Hroldan. In Skyrim Nordic, Talos means "Storm Crowned". If we go into the details of how developers came up with the name Talos, then it is known that they were inspired by the name of some Automaton in Greek Mythology.

I believe that Tiber Septim was created from the names of real life, Roman, Imperial dynasties or something to that effect. Since Imperials usually considered to be based of Romans/Italians, it fits. Oh and I didn't know the Reman Dynasty had 6 kings. As far as I knew, there were only three Reman Emperors. Reman I, Reman II, Reman III. Reman III and his heir were assassinated on the order of his Akaviri advisor. Thus ended the long 1st Era and started  2nd Era, during which two successions of Akaviri Potentates had userpt the Ruby Throne, until in 2nd Era 430, Night Mother didn't order the Morag Tang to assassinate the last of Akaviri Potentates and all of his heir in one bloody night. That was the birth of Dark Brotherhood as well as the start of Interregnum that lasted until I believe 2nd Era 858 when General Talos finally claimed the throne as Tiber Septim. I am not quite sure where you get 6 Reman Kings. Unless I am missing something and Reman Dynasty was the Dynasty of Kings before they became Imperial Dynasty. Or you are including that heir that died with Reman III and both of Akavir Potentates as part of that Dynasty.
