[Opinions] Re: How do you know it's correct though? Every other site that has it listed has the same meaning for it
in reply to a message by Kit
Because of the entymology. It lists some possibilites (from folklore, maybe from Riagan), but it has not been proven.It's easier to say, "oh it sounds like it could be from Ryan, and we know what that means, so I bet it means the same thing" and not even attempt to support that conclusion.
