Mystery Monday: Blendumen

Mystery Monday: Blendumen | Name News | Scoop.it
Today’s name is the name of an 8th C Dutch abbess; she shows up in a variety of historical records, but as far as we can tell she is the sole example of this name. Hapax legomena are always tricky to determine etymologies for, but it’s always worth asking in case there’s an expert out there who has a suggestion!

Bituin | The Beauty of Names

Bituin | The Beauty of Names | Name News | Scoop.it
Bituin means "star" in Tagalog. The Tagalog people make up a quarter of the Filipino population, and a standardized version of the Tagalog, simply called Filipino or Pilipino, is the national language. Before colonization, from places such as Spain, Japan, Britain, and not shockingly, America, the study of stars by the native people were integral to life. For example, when the constellation Orion, called Balatik by certain peoples, for it's resemblance to a hunting trap they used, appeared in the December sky, they knew it was time to start preparing the land for farming. Stars helped with so many things, like knowing the best time to fish, or set out to sea.
