[Facts] Re: Evochildis
Tribal names were fluid, these are after all political entities whose members may change over time, split and merge into other identities.getting to Haeva from Hiwa seems dubious. more likely is a relation to Aiwa (which can also refer to marriage). Also the form of the Hiwa root that might be used in names is a single syllable Hiw-, with long i: (this may instead be the prosaically rare homophone Hiw "fortune" though).
