Almost no names are 'English'

Phoebe is also a name for Apollon

10:23 actually, we, Russians, translated this name like Ноеминь (Noemin') It's a Jewish name, by the fact.

what about Tudor?As in the English dynasty, but also the Romanian name, derived from Teodor...

Well, yes, my first name, Leslie, is Scottish; the last name, Bright, I think of as English, but I suppose it could have come in with any of the others, Angles, Saxons, Normans...

My name dates back to 1200s

I am disappointed. You laid out all the Anglo-Saxon names and touched on the influx of Viking/Norsemen/Dane's names and you mention Harold with King Harold and then... you just plunked in "ERIC" and said NOTHING... you gave some translation, some history, some anything for the other names but just left "ERIC" with about 2 seconds of "well there you go..." Say, something about ERIC.

Does the hard spear of Roger contribute to the "verb" you folks have made of it?

Is there a connection between Anglo saxon and Germans?

Me with Hebrew translated names. 🐼🍿

Saint Chad, steals your money and gives it to people who didn't get lunch money.

lol

My name “Gary” is English in origin. It means “spear.”

Interesting that "ward" means both the person guarded and the person doing the guarding - "warden".

Well yeah. It'd be pretty weird if we just started calling ourself english words after hundreds of years without it.

‘that is my will’ kills me every time

Aethelrad feeling clickbaited as hell rn

No mention of Travis? Maybe too modern

"Imogen all the people..." 🫣 😂 Sorry! Awful 'Badnews' quote 😁 My great great great grandies were from Surrey & Lambeth. They migrated to Nelson, NZ in 1850. My great great grandad was named Alfred Le Grande Winterburn, and his brother Arthur August... Alfred is the name listed in old newspaper birth notice, but He also has Albert on his cross or grave marker. I wonder if he chose to change name because of royal family names then too. No idea if he was known as Alfred, Fred, Albert, Bert or Al... But its fascinating to learn how all these names originate ❤

Just like everything else, the English stole it 🤣

Both of my first and middle names are big biblical names. They are angel names.

Mentioned Shakespeare, but not Kit Marlowe

I'm surprised that my name is a book in the Bible but not in this video!

My mother name was Winifred

I am feeling left out. My name, or the name of about 95% of my family were left out. I heard a lot of names I don't think I would ever really meet anyone named that though. I am sure I will meet a Hubert one day though!

So, Andrew and Margaret not mentioned? Okay.

There is a Wilfred and Agnetha that live across the street here in Billings, Montana. They are six and four years old.

Bro didnt include my name smh

I've still never met a "Goliath"

For names that pre-date every single name you discussed, you should look to Proto-Indo-European names. You could look to Persian names that also exist in the west for guidance, names like Sherwin (Shervin), Cameron (Kamran), Cyrus (Cyrus), Katherine (Katayun), Susan/Suzanne (Soosan) and all the Anna/Anita/Anne names (Anahita). They’re all names that have been in Persian for thousands of years, so they must go back all the way to the original Indo-European split, predating every name you spoke about (which, except the Hebrew which are Semitic, were all names that came from successor languages to PIE).

Elvers is just a different spelling of Albert. Maybe somehow there was a typo and it stuck. Was always confused on my name

I’m a word origin dork, this channel gives me peace

If you're called Ted, you're probably a Theodore, which is Greek.

you left out a name that is used in english countries which shares a root with jesus: josh/joshua

the name jesus comes from translations of the greek ieshua for the hebrew joshua by way latin iesus.

so josh and jesus are the same name (though, tbf, there is more than one joshua in the bible)

13:51 hey its me

Nah, I'm pretty sure my name is English. -Hayley

I can't watch this in the summertime...

Point of Clarification: Biblical names of the same root, like Jacob & James or Jesus & Joshua, were because they were English translations of Hebrew and Greek translations.

Example: from Ya’aqov (Ya’akov) english got Jacob, but translated to Greek, like in the New Testament, is becomes Iakovos, which in English became James.

Same for Joshua - Yehoshua, and Jesus - Iēsous (spelled phonetically, obviously).

I’ve always wondered if this was at all connected to the many conquerings of the Jewish/Hebrew tribes.

8:10 he said something else was bubbling away and I'm over here taking a shit. I felt called out.

14:20 Kassandra probably derives from Kassandros (aka Cassander, one of Alexander's successors)

The subtitles are in Dutch?
