ArchivesRe: Provencal? French? Little green space alienese?
in reply to a message by Anneza
Somebody asked this before here, without success however:

I know from the build-up of my own name database that it is very tempting to go back as far as possible, e.g. if a name means "son of x", to ask, well fine, but what means x? And so on. But I have seldom been successful because very soon you reach back so far into the past that information is impossible to come by.
I googled a little and got this impression as well in the case of Aenor: I think the meaning of this name is lost in the mist of times.
