Help[Facts] Re: King Anna and his name
in reply to a message by Dorchadas
that corresponds to the moneyers names (Anna/Arnulf) listed by Hovite, and parallels another OE name (which for the moment slips my mind) which matches a Frisian pet form of a dithematic name.

Indeed it does! :) By the way, a variant of the Frisian name Anne is Anno, which resembles the Anglo-Saxon king's name more closely:

Anno was also used in medieval German as a diminutive or short form of Arnold (though other Arn- names should also be possible; also compare Arno in the main database). So, the name is not exclusively Frisian:

Anno was the name of several medieval German bishops, the earliest of which was bishop Anno I of Cologne (died around 715 AD):
