I'm no theologian, and I could easily be wrong, but I was under the impression that "Trinity" means that something is triune, a combination of the roots tri- and -une, meaning that it refers to something that is both three and one at the same time.

Triune is a different word than trinity.

Trinity
noun
Trin·i·ty | \ ˈtri-nə-tē

1 : the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead according to Christian dogma

At first blush it looks as though you might be right. Even so, this was not a semantic argument that you were responding to. God's Trinitarian nature still has no finite analogy. My argument stands.

As I said, the word "trinity" does not solely belong to God but can apply to 3 of various things.

I am a firm believer of the trichotomy of man, being as we are made in the image of God, and as God is a trinity of persons, we are also made into three parts.

That's what I've always believed. And it takes all here parts of us to create something.

Greetings all,
I am a firm believer of the trichotomy of man, being as we are made in the image of God, and as God is a trinity of persons, we are also made into three parts. I will link an article to all those unfamiliar with this teaching at the end of this post.

I was curious, it is the Spirit that lives on after death but is it also the soul? As the Soul holds our emotions and our unique personalities.

“The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground (body), and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life (spirit); and man became a living being (soul).” -- (Gen 2:7).

It is the union of the human body with the human spirit that gave rise to the human soul.

The soul is the human consciousness that arises when the human body and spirit are united.

When the body and spirit are separated at death our soul goes to sleep as our consciousness ceases.

When our body and spirit are reunited at the resurrection our soul is reawaken from sleep as we become conscious again.

“Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him.” – (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14)

In that same frame of thought, do Angels and Fallen Angles also have Souls? Or are they merely just Spiritual beings.

Yes, Angels have souls, because Angels are conscious.
