Etymology

edit

The prefix "bardǭ" (literally "axe") is a calque of bardaz "beard," and the suffix -ilǭ is a deriative of *-ilaz.[2]

The etymological dictionary of Old Polish personal names, published by the Polish Academy of Sciences, notes the historical existence of the German name Bartol in Poland.[3] In addition, the name Bartilo existed historically in Poland (1448).[4]
