[Facts] Re: Lonneke?
in reply to a message by Hilary
In Denmark, LONE can be short for ABELONE (Apollonia) or MAGDALONE (Magdalene). LONNE might be a variant of LONE. I don't know whether "-ke" is used as a diminutive ending in Denmark, it looks rather Dutch (as you say) or Frisian. But this is no more than a wild construct. I'm sure, Menke has better ideas.
