[gothic-l] Names of Heruls

[Bertil Haggman]

Troels,

Taylor is supported by several scholars on the case
of Aruth (from Harudes). Note also Alarich, which was
also a Gothic personal name. Uligang = Vulfgang,
Wisand, and Aluth (as you point out) are also of interest.
Rodvulf/Rodulphus is also typically Germanic. Taylor's
Datius = *Danus is also worthy of consideration.
See also N. Wagner's "Herulische Namenprobleme"
BNF, 16, 1981 406-421. I haven't seen the latter
but it should contain some interesting material.

Erulically
