Since no Japanese was provided to make the name pronunciations clearer, here are relevant names with some information.

Jazmín (ハスミン Hasumin): Jazmín is Spanish for "jasmine", which came from the Arabic word yasmīn.

Joya (ホーヤ Houya): Joya is Spanish for "jewel", something she likes to steal.

Eldios (エルディオース Erudiousu): From el dios, Spanish for "the god", referencing how the word Allāh derived from al-’ilāh, Arabic for "the god".

Alabar (アラバール Arabaaru): Alabar is Spanish for "to praise", based on how the name Muhammad means the same thing in Arabic.

Recitación (聖誦書 [レシタシオン] Reshitashion): Recitación is Spanish for "recitation", based on how the word Qur'an means the same thing in Arabic. The kanji reads "holy recitation book" which is a play on 聖書 Seisho, the Japanese word for "Bible".

Arena Kingdom (漠砂王国 [アレーナおうこく] Areena Oukoku): Arena is Spanish for "sand". The kanji reads "wide sand kingdom", which is a play on 砂漠 sabaku, the Japanese word for "desert".

El Alcázar (漠砂宮 [エル・アルカサル] Eru Arukasaru): El alcázar is Spanish for "the Arabic-style castle". The kanji reads "wide sand palace".

Thank you. I kind of made that up as I went along, but I like how it turned out. Originally most of this was going to be in Italian instead of Spanish, but I changed it at last moment because Spanish has received a great deal of influence from Arabic.
