Error in the description for the name Engilram and Enguerrand
Hello,
The definition beneath the name Engilram listed https://www.behindthename.com/name/engilram
states the following:Germanic form of Enguerrand.The name Enguerrand located here https://www.behindthename.com/name/enguerrand
Gives this definition:Medieval French form of the Germanic name Engilram, which was composed of the elements angil, the name of a Germanic tribe known in English as the Angles, and hramn "raven". This was the name of several French nobles from Picardy.So, my question is this:
How can an ancient German name be the German version of a medieval French name that not only came after it but is based upon the aforementioned German name?
