in reply to a message by Helminger

I think HELMINGER is a personal name derived from the place-name Helming. As far as I can see, there are three places by that name in Germany and they are all located in Bavaria. The place-name again probably goes back to a personal name with the Germanic element "Helm" (helmet), like Helmfried or Helmbrecht. I wouldn't get confused by the double L.

Hope this helps.

•I'm a member too - the meanings/origins are generally unreliable :) · Merrimenthe · 8/24/2004, 3:10 AM

•I am also a member there. The name database is near-useless; The meanings are mostly way off. But the FORUMS - They are friendly, more mature than most, and very active...but not free. (nt) · Kandake · 8/26/2004, 9:55 AM
