Help[Facts] Re: Historical Revival of Old English Names in the USA?
in reply to a message by Elmer, Alden etc.
I think popular literature is a clue here. In the 19th century a lot of historical novels were published and read, popularising the old mediaeval names.
The same trend can be seen for the german language with names like Ekkehard, Siegfried and Ute being revived.
