Alter Egos/Superheroes light-based hero names

I'm looking for hero names for a sci-fi magical girl/superhero team were the members all have light-based powers via these crystal-powered magi-tech gadgets given to them by their leader/benefactor.

  • Lux (from Latin "lux" meaning "light")

  • Adhara (name of the second brightest star in the constellation Canis Major)

  • Dipti (from Sanskrit meaning "brightness, light")

  • Elanur ("hazel light" from Turkish and Arabic)

  • Natela (derived from Georgian "nateli" meaning "light, bright")

  • Nuray (meaning "bright moon" in Turkish and Azerbaijani, ultimately from Arabic)

  • Nuru (meaning "light" in Swahili, ultimately from Arabic)

  • Orli (meaning "light for me" in Hebrew)

  • Roshanara (meaning "adorns with light" (or something similar), from Persian)

These are great! Taking it a step further:

Orli could be stylized as Orliana or Orlian

Elanur could be stylized as Eleanor

Lux could be stylized as Lucifer obviously, but also Lucretia or Lucas

Nuray/Nuru could be stylized as Nurylian or Nuriella

Zuhra could be stylized as Zurella or Zurana, or Zuran or Zuram or Zurman or Zuris

The vast majority of these are cultural spellings; when spelt differently they don't retain their meanings, so they wouldn't fit what OP is asking for.

Diet Man sounds interesting.

Certainly as a running gag. He tries to join Team Light for all the wrong reasons. Maybe he is some food influencer and vigilante? 😅
