Etymology
John Chadwick in The Mycenaean World (ISBN 0521290376) finds this etymology unconvincing. (p 87) The problem is that the derivation of "da"="ge" is circular. (Demeter is the earth-mother; -meter is "mother" therefore "da" is earth.) It wasn't attested elsewhere with that meaning at the time that book was written. Are there more recent developments that say otherwise? TCC (talk) (contribs) 03:39, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

James??? This is a custom of Greek-Americans, but I don't think it should be in the listing at the bottom. I guess the English would technically be the same as the Latin? !?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.97.9.166 (talk) 20:45, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
