- matzab 7y agoYou're just mistaking the word's origin for its meaning. That's just not how any of this works.
- ominous 7y agoSeems to me the same as was done by Christian: mistaking the Santa hat of 2019 with whatever happened before.
- Thorrez 7y agoIn both languages (English and German) the name has the same origin I believe, and the same current meaning of a name that doesn't imply the person is of the Christian religion. I think it's wrong to say that there's a language confusion of being too religious, since the name has the same religiosity in both languages.
