ArchivesRomansh names
I'm very curious about Romansh given names. Romansh is a minority language of Switzerland spoken in the Grisons. I was able to collect a little list of names:
Andri - Henry
Barclamiu - Bartholomew
Curdin - Conrad
Fadri - Frederick
Gian/Gion/Jon - John
Gieri - George
Peder/Peider - Peter
Stiafen - Steven
Tumasch - Thomas
They seem very interesting and I'd love to have a good list of names as complete as possible, if possible with their English, German or Italian translations, as some of the names I found are quite indecipherable (Pirmin, Geronas, Duri, Rensch ...).
I've heard about the book "Prenums en Svizra" as a possible reference and it would be marvellous if someone here could share its contents!
