What are the name origins of all the gym leaders, elite four and champions?

Crasher wake comes from crashing waves, malva, who is part of team flare, has the suffix mal- in her name. This is used when something is bad or evil (now you know why malamar was the antagonist in episode 19 in X/Y?). What are the origins for all of them
