HelpRe: Agreeing on "Classics"
in reply to a message by Puck
Right - the description "classic" is often applied as a term for the merit of approbation; or it may describe a link to antiquity, which in itself seeks approbation through its lengthy heritage.
Barbara - Greek, but my thoughts lead me to believe that the Teutonics carried this name to the present, mostly through the Goths with Christian influence: and was used to describe foreigners who did not speak Greek, or, later, Latin, which would be the Phoenicians, the Persians, the Hebrews, the Scythians, the Egyptians--and later the Byzantine cultures. Personally, I love to think of Saint Barbara, though more steeped in Legend, yet I proudly bear similarity through her affiliation with the Rapunzel tale.
Susan - Hebrew, yet I also believe that the Teutonics carried this name to the Anglican and American present.
The Biblical names of Mary, Mark, Matthew, John, Peter, and Paul were carried through the Romantic languages and were influenced accordingly.
There is more association in these thoughts than factual accuracy, though no authentic trail of history or schematic subversion could persuasively denounce these associations, as names & words carry through many cultures simultaneously.
