Help[Facts] Re: Origin of OLIVER, Germanic (?) names of his comrades
in reply to a message by Andy ;—)
Moin Andy!
This is what I found in the book "Tous les prénoms francais et régionaux" by Jean-Maurice Barbé:
ACELIN (Engl: Acolin): Maybe a variant form of Ascelin, which derives from the Franconian word 'azzelin' = "noble"
ANSEÏS (Engl: Anseis): Maybe a variant form of Anségise, Old High German 'ans' = "god" + 'gisil' = "hostage, pledge"
GEBUÏN: Variant form of Gébuin, French form of Gebwin, Old High German 'geba' = "gift" + 'win' = "friend"
GERIN (engl.: Gerins): Maybe a variant form of Gerwin, Old High German 'ger' = "spear" + 'win' = "friend"
MILON (Engl: Milun): French variant form of Émile
OGIER: French variant form of Oger, variant form of Odger, Old High German 'ot' = "wealth, fortune" + 'ger' = "spear"
SANSON (Engl: Sansun): French variant form of Samson
