Fay & its forms
Hi !!!Finally I found the 'historical steps' of the name Fay.Fatum (Latin) - Fata (Latin) - Fae / Faie (Old French) - Feie / Fée (Middle French) - Faie / Fei (Old English) - Fay (Late Middle English) - Faye (English/Modern).https://www.google.it/search?q=fay+etymology&oq=fay+&aqs=chrome.2.69i57j69i60j69i59j69i60l2.5222j0j7&client=ms-android-huawei&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/fayIs it right?
I did this search because in the database Faye and Fae are both variants of Fay that is actually incorrect: Fae is the oldest French form while Faye the most modern English form.WDYT?
