I don't know the original origins of our names, but I do know that my name and my daughters' names are French, judging by the number of times I have been asked whether I am French!

Lavinia?

alexpolismum · 13/02/2013 15:13

an Etruscan town, you say? I think we might share the same name!

is there someone elderly who has been famous but not very popular for years with your name?

GrimmaTheNome · 13/02/2013 13:17

Greek, Hebrew, Germanic.

Cwtchbach · 13/02/2013 13:13

I wonder if it's the same name? I would have said mine is more Roman than Etruscan but apparently it derives from an Etruscan town...
