ArchivesName; Tale or Thale
I notice you have left out the Norwegian first name Tale or Thale (the two ways of writing it co-exists in almost equal numbers). The origin is Natalie or Nathalie. The name is for females, and it is not seldomly combined with other first names.
The name (as one of very few) was brought to Norway by the Vikings coming back from Great Britain and France, and has been in use since the Viking Age 800-1200 AD. It exists only in Norway (this because it was the Norwegian Vikings who mainly went to GB and France (the Danish mostly used the rivers down the region around Germany, whereas the Swedes covered maily the Eastern Sea) and it’s a very pretty name that should have its place on this website.

Hi Tale,
My Norwegian name book gives the same meaning as all my German books for Tale/Thale:
It's a Low German and Dutch name coming from "Sünt Ale" which means "Saint Ale" (Ale is a short form of the Old German name Adelheid).
I've never heard about any connection to Natalie. Where did you find the information?
I agree - it's a beautiful name!
Ha de'!
