Help[Opinions] Re: Lumen
in reply to a message by insane romantic
Believe it or not, Lumen actually was in use as a girls' name in my neck of the woods. Back in the 1500s and 1600s ;)
It's one of those "liud-" = "people" names, in a very contracted, a bit "mangled" form.
I knew that it was also the Latin word for "light", and I always thought that is kind of nice. And I had no idea that it also referred to intestines - but for some reason it always reminded me of the word hymen. Um, yeah :/
However, I do like its variant Lumina.
(And I have no idea if that has something to do with body parts or not. Guess I'll google that one now ;) )
