Subject: Etymology<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot, Arend.<br>
<br>
I hasten to add that the <i>-hard</i> (~ <i>-hardt</i> ~ <i>-hart</i>) part is often
falsely assumed to be derived from an ancestor of "heart", especially in the case
of my name (in conjunction with <i>Rein-</i> folk-etymologizes as meaning 'pure').<br>
<br>
In actual fact</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> <i>-hard</i> (~ <i>-hardt</i> ~ <i>-hart</i>)</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> does belong to the "hard" group which in early times had the
additional meaning 'bold', 'audacious', 'intrepid', 'brave', 'strong'.<br>
<br>
It occurs in numerous men's names, such as Adalhard, Bernhard, Bogohard, Burghard,
Cynhard, Eberhard, Eginhard ~ Einhard, Ekhard, Erhard, Gerhard, Meinhard and Willhard.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Reinhard/Ron</span></p>
