Help[Facts] Re: Edrit//Etrit/Atrit (m) (Medieval English name of Anglo-saxon origin)
in reply to a message by Robert
These kind of dithematic names are rarely if ever a noun phrase (adjective + noun) that have a unified semantic meaning, they should be treated instead separate elements of distinct meaning joined together. Like Maryanne. So wealth/fortune + counsel, not lucky advice. If the combination makes too much sense you have to question whether it is a name or an occupation (e.g Wealhstod) or nickname.
