Temat: Pochodzenie imienia Krak

Godzisław Baszko podaje imię Kraka jako Corvus:

"Po zwycięstwie nad Gallami Krak, przyzwoiciej Corvus zwany, obrany został Królem Lechitów."

Piotr-246 · Gość

Skojarzenie imienia Corvus z Carem i Carodomem nie jest przypadkowe.

U Nugenta pojawia się imię Carocus:

"BUT whether Corfico only, or both these princes, were fons of Rhadagastus, or whether Godegifilus was the fon of Corfico, we shall not now dispute : for fo many writers, fo many different opinions; and at fuch a distance of time, it is impofble to reconcile them: the historians of Mecklenburg are unanimous in making Corfico the fon of Rhadagastus ; and they further observe, that the Vandals in the choice of their princes or leaders feldom departed from the royal line. It is probable that these princes reigned jointly as collegues, fince they both lived at the fame time, and waged war against the Romans. Some will have it they were Rhadagastus's fon and grandfon; but Godegifilus could not by any means have been the fon of Corfico; for he would have been too young to perform the mighty exploits ascribed to him at this time by ancient historians. Corfico is by Crantzius called the king of the Burgundian Vandals, by the name of Crofcus ; by others he is stiled Crocus, and also Carocus."
("The History Of Vandalia", 1766)

a także po łacinie:

"Wandalis autem Rex erat Carocus, (Crocus aliis multis, vel Croco) fiue Gerich, atrox Tyrannus, qui hanc gentem traduxit per Sveuos, Saxones Mifhicos, Thuringicos et Haffos, vfque ad Rhenum, ibique Moguntiam , Spiriam, Treuiros, Metium, Amianum, Tornacum et Gandauum devaftauit. His Vandalis vero fiue Vendis multi fe adiun,xerant Thuringorum Cattorumque. Tandem Rex Carocus (Cracus) anno 410 (Riuandro 412) in traétu Arelatenfi a Romanis fuit captus et occifus quem iam fupra diximus inter Deos hinc relatum."

Warto zatrzymać się na łacińskim słowie "carus", które oznacza:

przymiotnik:

drogi, kosztowny, ukochany, ulubiony

(źródło: Wikisłownik)

"corvus" z kolei znaczy po polsku "kruk".
