| − | ==Some Changes in Names seen in Registers==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In Latin, the spelling of a name will change depending on whether it is simply the name itself, or whether it is the name of a parent or a bride.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you have two names in a register which to your mind should be spelled exactly the same way and they are not – then this is because the rules of Latin and the way that names should be spelled tell us whether it is the child or parent who is being named.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The name changes to indicate “son/daughter of, bride of.”
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The first name is spelled as it should be and the way the parents first name ends.
