Help[Facts] Re: Gilda
in reply to a message by mirfak
Ermenegilda (the original complete form of Gilda) is a Germanic name, and the majority of languages (besides Romance languages like Italian and Portuguese) would pronounce it with a hard G sound. The J sound is just how 'G' is pronounced in Italian before 'I' and 'E' (Italian, unlike English, has a consistent orthography).
