Re: Was Walrae a German given name = Ulrich 18th C?
in reply to a message by Doris Waggoner
Hi Doris,
I've never heard of Walrae - maybe it's related to the German names Walram, Walraf or Walrich?
I've never heard of Jurge either, I just know forms like Jurgen, Jürgen, Jörgen, Jürg, Jörg, Jürk, Jürke, Jörn, Jørgen, Jørn, Jurjen etc etc.
But I agree with you - both Jurge and Walrae aren't the same name as Ulrich!
Regards, Satu

Maybe Walrae could be a form of Wolfram?
