ArchivesAn Etymologist's Paradise (and I'm working there!)
Guys
I'm going to be quite busy this weekend helping at the International Institute of Wisconsin's Holiday Folk Fair, perhaps getting a few extra names to post (if I have the time/inclination). If anybody's interested in what it is, here're a couple of web addresses to give you an idea of where/what I'm gonna be doing:

Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria) the tired one ;)

Oh, Greek One (or anybody else, for that matter)...
I probably asked this question before, but I can't for the life of me remember the answer (goes to show what can happen when one takes advantage of a 2-for-1 sale at the Greek booth at the end of the event [my weakness: properly made spanakopita, followed by properly made baklava]) : what's the difference between Hellenic Greeks and Doric Greeks?
Thanks ahead of time,

btw, Mike C. I am currently going through my notes from the event (100 college-ruled pages) from the different people I spoke with concerning etymologies of their names. (Can you say "writer's cramp"?)

The Dorians were one of the three Hellenic subgroups (Doric, Ionic and Corinthian). It is considered the oldest, strongest and most "minimalist" in its language, art and lifestyle. No namby-pamby plumage among the Dorians! The Spartans, of which yours truly is a semi-descendant, were Dorians. Some historians have traced links between the Dorians and the Celts.
