> 5) Utto (Bl.; d. late 8th or very early 9th cent.). U. (in Latin, also
Utho; in German, also Udo)
in the first half of the 12th c. (c. 1130-1150, i believe) there is an abbot
of St. Peter's of Chartres who appears in the (Latin) charters of the abbey
consistently as "Udo."
though sometimes (mistakenly, surely) modren French authors francyfy his name
as "Eudes" (i.e., Latin "Odo," one of the traditional names of the Counts of
Blois/Chartres), it has always seemed to me that his name was, indeed, [in
Latin] "Udo" --especially since he styles himself that in multiple charters of
his own creation-- and that this name was quite distinct from (though,
perhaps, related to) "Odo."
do you intend to say, John, that "Utho" is a Latin form of the name, and that
"Udo" is a German form?
or is the above some kind of typo?
