ArchivesRe: attn - Menke, re: Ashlyn
in reply to a message by chazda
yes it is confusing but my final conclusion is that Hazelinus and Azelinus aren't necessilary related (probably not at all)
so, Ashlyn and Ascelin have both the same origin ( asc and lin ) and Hazelinus is a variation of Hessel, of which etymology is unclear, but i'm pretty sure that all those surnames like Hazlin, Hessling and Asselink are from Hessel (they all mean 'son of Hessel' i think)
anyway, Ascela is a female form of Ascel and Ascel is from the Germanic word asc (meaning Ash). that's about it.
i'm still waiting for reactions from Meertens Instituut and someone else and i also haven't got the translation yet (of the Slovakian site, but that is not relevant anymore i guess)

well, i saw Ascevedo and Azevedo, and i took a look in my Spanish for Dummies book (lol, it isn't called like that) at the pronunciation and i saw that the 'c' and the 'z' for an 'e' are the same pronounced (like 'th' in thing). so that's how Ascelin could become Aszelin and then Azelin.
so in Spanish, it's AHS-ze-lin (with the 'z' pronounced like 'th' in thing)
in French, it's AHS-se-len (the 'e' pronounced long and the 'n' hardly pronounced or not pronounced like AS-se-lè)
in English, it's AS-se-lynn (like that, thus AS like in ASpen)
hope i helped here
