ArchivesIs Nameberry an accurate source for names?
Not to start anything here or whatever, but I just wanted to ask how accurate do you think Nameberry is for names?
For example:
Over here it states Catherine / Katherine is indeterminable for its meaning.
Nameberry says it literally just means “pure”.
Over here it states Julian could be deprived from something meaning “downy-bearded”.
Nameberry says it means sky father, downy-bearded, and youthful.
A pretty obvious difference I noticed from BtN and Nameberry is that Namberry is a little more open-minded when it comes to names not to mention that’s a little more of a baby name site. BTN just simply focuses on the etymology but sometimes people in the comments debunk it. Nameberry is also a little more complex, lol.
To put it in short: How accurate is nameberry when it comes to names?
