HelpRe: Thilo
in reply to a message by Bear
Thilo, Tilo and Tielo (well, there are even more variants) are Northern German short forms of names that begin with the element Diet-, like Dietrich. According to my book on Frisian names, they are also East Frisian (in which case they are derived from Thiad-something names, but Thiad- is the Frisian form of German Diet-).
Aw, this sounds really muddled, doesn't it? Sorry, it's late.

Aha ... I wonder why Lina and Nassim chose it though. No relation to Northern Germany as far as I know ... I guess it might just be an alteration of the very popular Milo in this case. :/
