Where do all these names come from? Is it Latin or Greek or something?

[WorldMaker]

Peloton is a somewhat common French word for "ball" that became common in English as a sports term for a grouping in a bicycle race, by way of the Tour de France. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/peloton

Small detail, that's not what it means in French, it's basically used the same was as in English (a group of cyclist, group of race car drivers, etc.)

It is however pelota, ball, in Spanish.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peloton I would guess

I searched on google, a "peloton" is "the main field or group of cyclists in a race".

In addition to what others have said here, "peloton" also means "fearless" in Finnish.

I have no idea if or why they would've used that or if they're just referring to the cycling thing, but I guess "fearless" could also be kind of fitting for this project.
