[Facts] Re: Attn:- Miranda
First off: you could've searched via name ending. On the main page of BtN, search by names. Use an asterisk to indicate the name particle you want:
Prefix: Win*
Suffix: *win
Inside name: *win*A suffix search would've turned up Leofwine immediately, as well as Ælfwine (Aelfwine).As for your question: I've been interested in names since at least age seven or eight. I've been interested in meanings for at least that long too, but only became really interested in etymology when I was about 14. I was just under 16½ when I joined this board; I'm just under 18½ now.

Attn:- Miranda * * * * * * * *..... simple put, i've never heard of the use of "*".
Well, Miranda, you live and learn!!I'm finding most of the names i'm searching for except those single elements, as in Old Norse or Old English. Having said that i have found a few sites, but on the whole there seems to be precious little coverage...
