ArchivesRe: Some old nordic female names?
in reply to a message by Nestori V Rinta
Hi Nestori,
Hebla / Häbla / Hebbla / Häbbla are Old Swedish variant forms of Ebbelina / Ebbela, Low German short forms of Old German names starting with Eber- (meaning: boar [= strength]).
Corresponding modern name: Ebba, Ebbe etc.
Liskin looks like a variant form of Lisken, which is a Low German diminutive form of Lisa / Lise, short forms for Elisabeth (try the link for the meaning).
Corresponding modern names: Lisa, Lise, Liss etc.
Vendla is a Swedish short form of Vendela / Wendela which is a short form of Old German names starting with Wendel- (meaning: belonging to the tribe of the Vandals).
Corresponding modern names: Vendela, Wendi, Wendila etc.
Regards, Satu

After lurking awhile on this board I've learned to expect that the full explanation comes from 'Fairy-tale' girl. ;-) Thanks.
It seems so obvious now that you've said it. Where do you get all this wisdom?
