Here a short lesson on german names
April 27, 2014 11:36 pm
hey a few corrections to this page http://www.mangago.me/read-manga/maiden_rose/tr/69299/page/195/ Klaus does descend from Nikolaus which comes from the greek words for 'victory' and 'people (=folk)'. But the meaning is a bit different. It means 'victor of the people'. Victor in the sense of a hero. And Yes the name 'von wolfstadt' means he is of nobility but it doesn't mean he is 'of the city of wolves' but from a city which is called 'wolfstadt' (even though there is no such city in Germany...). Well this is probably pretty much unimportant for most people but I'm a history geek...
