Interesting ethymology of my mothers name
Hi,
I have talking with one etymologist (?*) Grzegorz Jagodzinski about ethymology of my mother surname "Wardach". From most things what I have grasp he said that most propably that have germanic roots (I was thinkin' on old-polish), maybe even swedish (uncool) or even some far germanic like frisian  (uncool). There was few things like phonetic changings like "v -> w" or/and "ch -> g" in Poland, and also in Sweden as says Karol Szajnocha Swedes have using more "ch" before "g", and also in Sweden was manierism from Germany mostly influce to use more "g". He said that can be even German but from some kind of dialect from Germany. He said many more, but Im not so good to translate everything. Quote:
:: View topic - The Macedonian language, cont. And he said thats possible, from old german "warda" what mean "guard" . Wow  What do you think folks about it? Btw. I have heard that in some germanic countries is "vardag" (work day?) and this same but with double dots on "a". *dont know how to say, language expert

Re: Interesing ethymology of my mothers name
Wardach sounds Germanic to me. Your ancestors were Germans, I think.
So you should change your anti-Germanic point of view  Last edited by Khozinsky; Thursday, May 24th, 2007 at 14:37.

Re: Interesing ethymology of my mothers name
Yes. It isn't a name, though, as far as I know.
I just asked a Swedish friend about Swedish names that start with var/vär/vår, etc. I will get back to you if I find anything interesting.

It means that you are German Pole, man. Now I feel sorry for your self-identity.

Evidently, it's Klingon in origin

Re: Interesing ethymology of my mothers name
What is it then? Slavo-Germanic? Germano-Slavic?
