ArchivesRe: Two Spanish names
in reply to a message by marina
Misspellings (Genobeba, Aulalia, Grabiel) are used as names by poor educated or uneducated people, but they are just misspellings (in Spanish, the spelling is not free).
Internet sources are not reliable, especially Wikipedia, because they repeat infinitelly the same misinformations and any person, even without the minimal formation, can publish what he/she wants. For instance, the supposed Greek origin related with the sea is not possible; the Greek root for sea is thalass-, not plub-.
NONE of the reliable Spanish onomastics sources (Faure, García Gallarín, Tibón, saints lists) list the form Plubio; not even Albaigès, who often lists erroneous forms.
ETA: by the way, the list of Wikipedia is full of misspellings, non Spanish names listed as Spanish names, female names listed as masculine names...
