THE NAME OF NoRwAvs KING.
Original Meaning Was "The High One
of the KIM

Vi tiC sNitts
As to the uncertainty Of the spelling
of the new king of Norway's new
name. a Norwegian authority writes:
The genuine form Of the name is
Hakan. Such variations as Hakun,
Hakunn, Hakvin, Latin Haguinus. /
leave out of consideration. The name
is made up of two elements-ha, the
root of har, high; and kon, for konr
dixie son. for sonr). The older form
of konr was kunr, he of the kyn
(kuni, of the family, the noble race
According to the Elder Edda poem,
RigsmaI konr was the youngest son OF
Jarl (Earl). who himself was the son
of the god Heimdall (illuminator mum
di). Konr ungr, the young kon. swung
himself. by deeds of arms, into the
position of a konungr, king, which,
though the old poec knew it not, sim
ply meant the kon-ing. he of the kim
-ungr being a suffix indicative of des-
cent.
Accordingly. the name Hakon
meant originally the high one of the
kim and must have been title Ior
a prince, a king, before it assumed
the exclusive character of proper
personal name. The old Norwegian
pronunciation of the "a in ha seems
to have come close to the sound Of
the English 'ow' in know; but in the
course of time it has broadened into
sound as nearly as possible identi-
cal with the English 'aw' in hawk.
The % in kon is very nearly equal
to the English % in on The accent
falls on the first syllable.
I'm modern Norwegian the spelling
Of the name is Haakan (aa' equals
'awO. But to Judge from the tele-
grams, it would seem that his majesty
is going to adopt the ancient spelling
Of the name. dropping the accent over
the a, and desires to be known as
Hakon. Haco is only a Latinized
'orm of the name.
