Latin Names

Latin names reach English by two separate routes that produce different results: directly, through the church and the Roman calendar of saints, and indirectly, through French, Spanish and Italian, which wore the endings down first. The same Latin root can therefore appear twice on this site in forms that no longer look related.

Languages behind these names Latin via French uncertain via Italian possibly from Etruscan from Greek
