## Etymology

* Argine is an anagram of the Latin word *regina* "queen". Argine is the name of the Queen of Clubs on French playing cards. While the names on other cards are recognisable figures from history or mythology.
* Fabergé is from Russian Фаберже (*Faberzhe*), which is ultimately of Huguenot French origin, having evolved (since 17th century) from *Favri*; compare *Favre*. The é was deliberately added to make the name more French sounding. The Russian jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé (1846-1920), born Карл Густавович Фаберже (*Karl Gustavovich Faberzhe*), is famed for his Fabergé eggs, originally made for the Russian imperial family.
