ArchivesRe: Franzis male source?
in reply to a message by Kit
No, 'Internationales Handbuch der Vornamen' is by Otto Nüssler, 'Historisches Deutsches Vornamenbuch' is by Wilfried Seibicke; the authors are different.
Nüssler is very sparse on additional information to the names, it is essentially Name, gender, source. The real point of the book is its international coverage.
Seibicke gives a lot of information for the names (etymology, historical usages, gender) but concentrates on names used by Germans.
