[Facts] Cincinnatus - Curly Haired
I was in Latin class one day when we got to a story involving the name "Cincinnatus" (pronounced "kink-ih-natus," as far as I know), and we discussed that the meaning of the name is "curly-haired."I noticed that it seems like it may be related to the word "kink" or "kinky" (used when referring to hair), but I can't find anything to support the idea.Has anybody else noticed/wondered this? Is it possible that the name and the word are related?
