ArchivesElian is not unknown...
in reply to a message by Gianfranco E. Tubino Bryce
Celtic name scholars know it as the popular name element el 'much, many' + a diminutive ending.

Coo! Like the fat little long-ago comic character, Little Lotta?

Also . . .
In the case of the famous Elian - the little Cuban boy who was rescued from the sea when his mother died in an attempt to get them both to America, sparking a Cuba vs US custody battle - his name was made up, a combination of his mother's name, Elizabeth, and his father's name, Juan.

Thanks but... (Re: Also . . .)
I do read the database before asking about names (furthermore I try other sources and possible variants meanwhile and before asking) so I did know that... But that is just a single specific case... Not the general rule... I mean, there are more common origins for Elian (and... why did they chose "Elian" over "Juzabeth"? 'cause "Juzabeth" sounds totally unknown, awkward, outworldy, but Elian sounded just like the former "Elian", so as you see, it was chosen 'cause their was another name with letters of both, furthermore, Juan is a single syllable, so it was really an awkward election... For example my second name, it was meant to stand for "Elio Luis y[=I] Oracio" where "y" means "and" and "Oracio" is in the Italian version; but I wont take it to be in itself the sum of them but in itself just the first of them) Anyway, I would apreciate more possibilites for those names previously listed... Any answer will be welcome (thanks for the try) Bye

I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to Merriment
And I'll say again - if you want people to bother reading your posts, PLEASE MAKE THEM LEGIBLE.
- whole, short sentences
- short paragraphs
- don't jump around from idea to idea without explaining yourself
Sorry if it sounds like I'm being fussy, but there's just no point to your posts if the rest of us can't understand them.
