ArchivesRe: Pommeline?
in reply to a message by Lumia
Lumia, if only that celebrity couple (whom I've forgotten ... sorry!) knew that people in fourteenth-century Italy were, effectively, naming their daughters Apple, they might have had second thoughts! This is wonderfully informative and extremely funny - thank you.
I guessed 'grapefruit', because that's what it is in Afrikaans, but I'd never looked up the origin: interesting how some people saw a citrus fruit as an apple and others as a grape.

Hi Anneza,
I am french and passionnate about names and to be honnest, I never heard that one so it's pretty interesting. It reminds me the case of "chantelle", when it's written that's a "french name" but in France I never heard about it lol, or..well It's a famous upper quality undies brand (lol).
Anyway Pommeline might comme from Pomme which means apple. But I cannot help you more sorry..
