The name appears to be half from the national flower of Austria (''Edelweiss'') and half from the glass or mug used for beer (''Stein'').  For that matter "Edel" stands for "stainless/noble/pure," and is derived from the word "Adel" or "shield" as in coat-of-arms, which also alludes to an Austrian affinity for titles.  While a conjugation of it to mean 'noble stone' might be possible it is not likely.

[[Belarus]] received the name '''Natalia Arlovskaya '''(ナターリヤ・アルロフスカヤ, ''Natāriya Arurofusukaya)''; informal variant: '''Natasha''' (ナターシャ, ''Natāsha)'' Belarusian: ''Наталля Арлоўская, (Natałlia Arłoŭskaja)''; Russian: ''Наталья Арловская (Natal'ya Arlovskaya)''. Her surname is often rendered and translated as '''Alfroskaya''', but the more accurate spelling would be '''Arlovskaya''', since ''Alfroskaya ''would be rendered as ''Arufurosukaya''. Another version of the name is '''Arlofskaya'''. If read as ''Arlovskaya'', the surname would correspond to Arlovski, like the Belarusian [[wikipedia:Andrei_Arlovski|Andrei Arlovski]]. It is probable that he was not Himaruya's specific inspiration, though the other two surname spellings cannot be found outside of the fandom.
