Help[Opinions] Re: Identical names with different etymologies
in reply to a message by ari.
Greek Aleka, Greenlandic Aleka, and Old Low German Aleka.
Igbo Chika and Japanese Chika.
Spanish/Arabic Dalia, Lithuanian Dalia, and Hebrew Dalia.
Greek Danai and Shona Danai.
Hebrew Eliud and Brythonic Eliud.
Japanese Ema and Pan-European Ema.
Pan-European Nina, Quechua Nina, and Nina as an alternative name for Saint Nino.
Australian Talia, Greek Talia, and Hebrew Talia.
Japanese Yuri (f) and Russian Yuri (m).
I wonder if any Bernices named their daughters Veronica.
Are there any pairs/groups of wildly-different names that come from the same PIE (or other proto-language) root, like Raj and Rex? I know Frederick and Vladimir are calques.
