ArchivesRe: Is Aveline A Pagan Name?
in reply to a message by Lapin
What do you mean with pagan?
The description traces the name to the Normans that were already christianised, so it can be said that this is a Christian given name. On the other hand, it is traced to Ancient Germanic and may have had pre-Christian use and may be pagan in this sense.
I have no information of specific name use among modern neopagan groups and cannot say whether Avalina is specifically popular among them.
