Frisian or Danish?

edit

Finn is a typically danish name, I think. /Pieter Kuiper 15:26, 31 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

I would say Phrygian, as in the mode 3, where mode 1 is Ionian.Peace,Peace, —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.67.60.165 (talk) 04:31, 21 January 2008 (UTC)Reply


Finn may be a "common Danish name" but the events described in the article come from Beowulf. The "Frisians" of the "Frisian Ambush" have nothing to do with the Netherlands, however. These Frisians were tribal and predated the Netherlands by about 1000 years or more.

Curiously, his name would seem to be Fin. The form Finne is dative; Finnes is genitive. Nominative and accusative seem to be Fin (e.g. Klaeber) Vince Calegon 11:46, 7 April 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vince Calegon (talkcontribs)
