Reconstruction talk:Frankish/Fardinanth

RFD discussion: March 2020
Reconstructed as the source of and thus presumably all the cognates of Ferdinand. However, according to Wikipedia's article, the name is first found in the Romance languages during the period of the Visigothic Kingdom, suggesting that it was borrowed from Gothic, not Frankish, into Spanish and Portuguese, and then spread to the rest of Western Europe from Spanish. So if we're going to have any reconstruction page for this name, it should probably be or something, though I think we're best off simply deriving the Spanish and Portuguese names directly from the Proto-Germanic component parts and not trying to reconstruct any intermediate proper name, whether West or East Germanic. —Mahāgaja · talk 11:31, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Move: Better suited as a Latin entry. Probably from Gothic anyhow. -- 16:55, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Move to what? —Mahāgaja · talk 18:21, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * , but I now see there as been been made an entry. Wanna just merge this into that one? -- 18:39, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't know, it's hard to know whether the Romance terms come from Latin, or whether the Latin was built on the basis of a Romance term (probably Spanish, as the Etymology section of already says). I'm still in favor of either (1) outright deletion or (2) moving to a reconstructed Gothic term (in order of my preference). —Mahāgaja · talk 18:44, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
 * OK, I've moved it to a Gothic entry, per your second preference. If you still object, feel free to start a new RFD. =P -- 19:34, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
