Re: why is my name still not added
in reply to a message by Menke
Like the others have said, Mike C will not add a name unless he is certain of the origin. Just living in the country is not an indication that you are an expert on the language or on the etymology of local names, although it gives you a better shot at it. Try to come up with several reliable references, historical sources detailing the development of the name, and a number of examples of its use. Then it might get added to the database.
