Rat Mortuis @ratmortuis.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Most likely although etymologists still can't quite get a direct link of church to Greek but can to early Germanic. Who likely borrowed it from the Greeks As I said elsewhere there's a lot of laziness in this map 120

Rat Mortuis @ratmortuis.bsky.social · 15/10/2026Just how far back are they going with these name origins? Stewart for example, could be Old English or Scotts Gaelic in origin. Hamilton has an Old English root. However this map just attributes them to the English spelling. Its all a bit lazy and inconsistent 000
