Although the exact original meaning remains unclear, the evidence points to the concept of submission, humility, or perhaps a literal interpretation related to behavior. Literally, the name means "submissive" or "subjugated."

Characteristic traits include responsibility, reservedness, sometimes a degree of detachment, but deep faith and loyalty to one's principles.
