medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Does any list member have suggestions about where to read about naming
practices in the early Christian centuries and the Middle Ages? I am
particularly interested in finding out whether the choice of a child's name
was regarded as the responsibility of either mothers or fathers.
Thanks in advance,
Chara Armon
