ArchivesMalatesta sounds sinister to me
in reply to a message by fablesbyaesop
Like it meant "evil head".
There is a Swedish surname Svinhufvud, which literally means "Swine head". Maybe they were thinking of the wild boar, so the name siginifies courage and strength. Svinhufvud is an aristocratic name, just like Leijonhufvud (Lion head).
"You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."
"It does not become me to make myself smaller than I am." (Edith Södergran 1891-1923)
