Hi Ninor !!!
In Italy as well we have the word 'vile (VEE-le)' but It is not my first thought.
Actually when I saw It I supposed It were a short form of
Vilhelm (or an other Scandinavian form of
William).
I did not know It is a Old Norse god. Interesting.
Can you tell me something about him and his myths? Is this figure still regarded in general culture where you live? I mean maybe in books, films, twisted-tongues or sayings?
Plus: I read that somewhere in Northern
Europe, Old Norse Religion is slowly coming back. Is It true? I'm very interested in religions so I'd like to know more about what has happened.
Emilius and all emil-names are boring since I found they means 'rival'.
