Help[Facts] Re: Meaning to my name
in reply to a message by Arminthia
Hey, Arminthia:
And Merry Christmas to ye! Nanaea, as usual, gives me too much credit, as I've scoured the Web and paper sources as well and also come up dry. I thought there might be a remote connection to the name of Arminius, the German tribal chief who kicked Roman butt in the Teutoburg Forest when Jesus was a pup (AD 9ish). But no luck.
We'll just have to wait for our resident Greek, Pavlos "Obi Wan" (you're my only hope!) Banana to return from the seaside or wherever he went this weekend. Mr. Banana has an infinite store of Greek name-origins that I'm sure he'll happily share with you.
Aside to Nan: You Nassau or Suffolk? We used to trek up that way often to see my wife's relatives in the Stony Brook-Port Jeff area, but I got tired of the tolls and having to carry a suicide kit in case my car broke down in Brooklyn.
