This is completely random but does anyone know what Sikio and Morani’s names mean? Reply

I have no idea. 

I think once I read a comment about the meaning of Morani's name, but to be perfectly honest I can not remember what it was.

I'll try and ask someone on the internet that knows them about this, it might take a while. Reply

Thanks :) the only thing I got from looking online was that Sikio could mean ear and Morani warrior, but if so I wonder why Sikio was named that. Reply

@Chris They are from Paradise pride I believe
Currently dominant over Marsh pride..
Musketeers are believed to be their fathers. (Scar, Morani, Sikio and hunter)

@Tshokwane correct me if I am wrong Reply

I'll take your word for it Vinod, because I do not know a lot about these boys. 

Should I come up with the answer or any indication of it, I'll post it right away. Reply

They say, you are not rich until you have something money can't buy. Loyalty is among those things; The allegiance between lion brothers is unrivalled. They defend each other in battle even when the odds are against them, even if it means death! That is the code they live by, Loyalty over everything.
