[Facts] Re: Ital (name used in Switzerland)
in reply to a message by Lumia
Hi Lumia,In Germany, the name Ital derives from the Old High German word îtal meaning 'unsophisticated, pure'. A more common form today is Eitel.In Switzerland, Ital can be either this German name or a variant form of Italo.
