[Facts] Re: Given Name Orgent
in reply to a message by Quill
Now I found the place named Orgent in France, with a—surprise!—Germanic etymology: Orgent
Hameau de la commune de Coligny (Bresse, Ain), Fons d´Orgens et Orgent en 1425, nom d´origine burgonde qui dériverait d´un primitif *Arigundingos, « chez les Arigundingi », dérivé du nom propre Arigundus, masculin d´Arigunde, [Perrenot], du germanique *aran, « aigle », et *gunþiô, « combat ».(from http://henrysuter.ch/glossaires/topoO0.html)... but I don't know what this contributes to its use as a given name. BTW, #hameau# means "hamlet".--elbowin
