Your name in ... ROHIRRIC! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My name Alice means either truthful or noble, hence

clǽne (honorable)
æðele (aristrocratic)

Middle name (means 'bitter') turns out ábitrian.

My Barrowdowns moniker: lytelmannscop

My real name: Lytel Giefugodes Gemet

You will (ahem) notice a similarity....

I really like mine...
So my BD name would be Se Afol or Se Geweald...sounds nice

My RL name is unfortunately not translatable since I don't have an English name

Surely there is a "German to Old English" glossary on the internet somewhere....

Besides, Anglo-Saxon is closer to modern German than it is to modern English.

Try this or that

Thank you very much kind sir, but these things are of no help I guess
Firstly, because I am not a German, and don't have a German name, but a Romanian name
And even in my country's tongue my name has no meaning
Sabin come from the Sabins that lived on one of the 7 hills of Rome and that had their own problems with the Latins a long time ago
So to translate it isn't quite easy, though my last name would mean mountain man or man of the mountains...

Being a classicist and an amatuer linguist, that last comment, The Might, was just too tempting. An untranslatable name, pfft.

After only a brief search on Google I found this here:

Sabine: "pertaining to a people in ancient Italy," 1387, from L. Sabinus (in poetic L. often Sabellus, connected by Tucker to root *sabh- "combine, gather, unite" (cf. Skt. sabha "gathering of village community," ... O.E. sibb "relationship, peace").

So you could either be Sibb, or Gadrian

Apparently I am heardlic. Not the most flattering of names, it must be said.
