Germanic
During the Migration Period, the Germanic names for the cardinal directions entered the Romance languages, where they replaced the Latin names borealis (or septentrionalis) with north, australis (or meridionalis) with south, occidentalis with west and orientalis with east. It is possible that some northern people used the Germanic names for the intermediate directions. Medieval Scandinavian orientation would thus have involved a 45 degree rotation of cardinal directions.
 * north (Proto-Germanic *norþ-) from the proto-Indo-European *nórto-s 'submerged' from the root *ner- 'left, below, to the left of the rising sun' whence comes the Ancient Greek name Nereus.
 * east (*aus-t-) from the word for dawn. The proto-Indo-European form is *austo-s from the root *aues- 'shine (red)'. See Ēostre.
 * south (*sunþ-), derived from proto-Indo-European *sú-n-to-s from the root *seu- 'seethe, boil'. Cognate with this root is the word Sun, thus "the region of the Sun".
 * west (*wes-t-) from a word for "evening". The proto-Indo-European form is *uestos from the root *ues- 'shine (red)', itself a form of *aues-. Cognate with the root are the Latin words vesper and vesta and the Ancient Greek Hestia, Hesperus and Hesperides.

Observer facing eastwards
Many languages use names for cardinal directions derived from the viewpoint of a person facing eastwards. Therefore,
 * the term for north often has the same root as "left," Arabic شمال (šimāl)
 * the term for east often has the same root as "front," "before," for example Sanskrit पूर्व (pū́rva), Irish oirthear (literally "facing the horizon")
 * the term for south often has the same root as "right," for example Sanskrit दक्षिण (dákṣiṇa)
 * the term for west often has the same root as "back," "behind"

Other etymologies

 * the term for north sometimes derives from a word meaning "cold" as in Russian се́вер (sever), derived from PIE *(s)ḱeh₁w-, "cold, rainy."

 * the term for east often refers to the sunrise, as in Maori rāwhiti ("sun spring up"), Arabic شرق (šarq, "rise"), or Thai ตะวันออก (tawanok, "sun comes out").
 * the term for south sometimes derives from a word meaning "hot" as in Turkish güney ("sunny").
 * the term for west often refers to the sunset. For example, Latin occidentem, from a verb meaning "to fall down; pass away," or Lao ທິດຕາເວັນຕົກ (thittā wen tok, "direction-sun-fall"), or Armenian արևմուտք (arewmutkʿ). It can also mean "evening," as in Latvian vakarai.

League ranking
Beckett Mariner is a fictional character from the American science fiction animated television series Star Trek: Lower Decks. Mariner is voiced by Tawny Newsome, who will also reprise the role in a live-action crossover in the second season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Characterization


Show creator Mike McMahan named Mariner for his sister, Beckett Mariner McMahan, and based Mariner's relationship with her mother on his sister's combative relationship with their own mother.

In The Routledge Handbook of Star Trek (2022), Ramón Valle-Jiménez referred to Mariner as "a highly qualified albeit iconoclastic troublemaker, who has been demoted several times for flouting rank and regulations."

Before Lower Decks
Beckett Mariner was born some time in the mid-24th century to Alonzo Freeman (voiced by Phil LaMarr) and Carol Freeman (voiced by Dawnn Lewis), both high-ranking Starfleet officers. She spent some of her childhood on Starbase 25, a space station, where she went by the name "Becky."

She attended Starfleet Academy, where she excelled academically, and served aboard Deep Space Nine at some time in the 2370s.

Season 1
After suffering demotion due to indiscipline, Mariner is assigned to the USS Cerritos, a position of low prestige, where she is placed under the supervision of Brad Boimler, a "straight arrow" type who the ship's captain hopes will be a good example to her. Captain Freeman is also, unbeknownst to the rest of the crew, Mariner's mother. (It has not yet been explained why Mariner uses a surname different from that of her parents.)

Over the course of season 1, Mariner gradually bonds with and befriends Boimler, as well as their shiftmates, Sam Rutherford and the Orion D'Vana Tendi. Freeman briefly promotes Mariner to lieutenant in an effort to force her into transferring to another ship, but Mariner is quickly demoted back to ensign.

In the season finale, Boimler accidentally reveals to the crew that Mariner is Captain Freeman's daughter. Mariner helps the crew foil a Pakled attack and makes peace with her mother.

Season 2
Mariner goes on several adventures with the Cerritos crew, and develops a closer relationship with Tendi.

Season 3
Mariner was transferred to Starbase 80 by Captain Carol Freeman after being accused of besmirchcing the USS Cerritos and its crew. She briefly served there before before resigning from Starfleet. (LD: "Trusted Sources") She then became the partner of Petra Aberdeen into the Independent Archaeologists Guild. (LD: "The Stars At Night")
