[Facts] Re: What does the name "Urte" mean?
in reply to a message by Toby
Hi Toby,Urte is a German short form of German names beginning with Ort-e.g.Orthild = peak (of a weapon) + battle
Ortrud = peak (of a weapon) + strength
Ortrun = peak (of a weapon) + secret lore etc.So the meaning of Urte is "peak (of a weapon)".I've heard that in other languages Urte can be a short form for:Dorothea (Latvian?, Lithuanian?)
Ruth (Basque)Regards, Satu
