ArchivesRe: What does the name "Urte" mean?
in reply to a message by Toby
Hi Toby,
Urte is a German short form of German names beginning with Ort-
e.g.
Orthild = peak (of a weapon) + battle
Ortrud = peak (of a weapon) + strength
Ortrun = peak (of a weapon) + secret lore etc.
So the meaning of Urte is "peak (of a weapon)".
I've heard that in other languages Urte can be a short form for:
Dorothea (Latvian?, Lithuanian?)
Ruth (Basque)
Regards, Satu
