Help[Facts] Re: The name Tarkyn
in reply to a message by Nickers
I think Tarkyn is a Variation of Tarquin.
Thats from Latin origin.
It´s a Roman clan name: the name of two Etruscan kings of early pre-republican Rome (about fifth century AD). The son of the last king caused the famous Rape of Lucretia, the Roman matron who killed herself rather than live in shame. This event led to the downfall of the Tarquins and the change of elected consuls to rule Rome instead. It has been depicted in poetry and drama in various languages.

I recall an character called Tarquin-Fintim-Limbim-Whimbim-Lim Bus Stop-F'Tang-F'Tang-Olé-Biscuit-Barrel in an old Monty Python skit :)
