Description: In his widely read dissertation, the author explained that the structural form of the two-part Germanic first name dates back to a distant Indo-German past. In his new book, he subjects his theory to testing, revision, and extension. This volume will be an indispensable resource for name researchers and all those interested in medieval and Nordic literature and the social history of the medieval world.
