Help[Facts] Re: Shalan & Gumisinada ...
in reply to a message by Ciarda
Gumisinada is probably a variant of Gumersinda, a Spanish name derived from Old German. It means "path of man" or "a man's path".
Shalan could perhaps be a variant of Shaelyn?

Do you happen to know the original Old German form of 'Gumersinda' and/or the Old High German words behind it?

Gumisinada
Hi, René!
This is what I found:
GUMA (Gothic) means "mankind" (related to Latin "homo")
SINTHA (Gothic: sinth) also Old High German "sind" (way, direction, journey), related to modern German "Gesinde" (originally "companion in warfare") and "senden" (to send).
This is taken from:
Ernst Förstemann: Altdeutsche Personennamen (1906)
Henning Kaufmann: Altdeutsche Personennamen, Ergänzungsband (1968)
