D.gray man the name

[rozarazan]

hi,anyone knows why d.gray man is named like this,i have been searching for a while and i can't find a satisfying answer..

Random name dude xD

Nah, I dont know, I figured it would be revealed later or something...

Always wondered about the names of some animes...

[rozarazan]

i noticed that many animes have this random name,but it has to be related somehow to the anime,bleach for example the name can be considered related to the process of bleaching th hollow souls(cleaning them)and finally allowing such souls to go to SS,so what is that relation in DGM??

Hoshino says she based the Earl of Millennium off a legendary alchemist/preacher (most likely the Count of St Germain or Nicolas Flamel, though in many ways he also reminiscent of Dorian Gray, possibly referenced in "Dorian Grey man" and thus "D.Gray-Man", as adapted in the film The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) whose tale even claims he still may be alive somewhere.

took this of wiki, i presume hoshino is the author/creator or something

[rozarazan]

that is the most believable explanation i heard,i guess u r right,thx
