Talk:Ferdinand (name)

I am pretty sure that many instances of the name "Ferdinand" reflect the name's association with the royal families of Spanish-speaking areas, and the migration of the name northeastward due to intermarriage and the cosmopolitan nature of European nobility prior to nation-states, and i think that info would add to the article. But someone else should write it, if i am correct. --Jerzy•t 01:28, 2005 August 22 (UTC)

Er, why was this split off from Ferdinand? Bastie 14:19, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The use of Ferdinand as a given name long predates the establishment of the Spanish monarchy. The history of the name, along with the list of kings and commoners who held it, should be put (back) in Ferdinand. Bastie 16:08, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
