Does anybody know where the root for the word name originated?
In a dictionary it said that it originated to proto indo european and I
was satisfied with that. However, when I started learning Japanese last
year, I was taught that the hiragana alphabet was used for Japanese
words and the katakana for non native Japanese words. I was surprised
to see that namae, meaning, name, was spelled using hiragana. I am no
expert in Japanese and am only trusting what it told me.
I also noticed that it seems to be in a number of european languages. I
know that in frenh it is le nom, and in German ie Name, but are there
any other european language with the word name?
