in reply to a message by Caprice
Knecht... Knight... Something to do with Knaut or Kneut? Just guessing, but probably... Anyway... "Droga" is a Spanish word for "drugs" which in English as we all know include remedies... If both the English word and the Spanish words are look-alikes... I wouldn't be surprised that a Waloon word existed with the same common origin (Latin and/or Greek I guess) being in effect identical to the Spanish outcome of this common root... This is just mumbling meditation... I will let decisions on others... Bye.

There was an old Germanic name DROGO, one of Charlemagne's sons bore this name. It is said to mean "ghost." In French it became Drieu, which gives us the English surname Drew.
