Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: nekename

Affine norse antico: aukanafn

Affine faroese: eyknevni

Affine danese: øgenavn

Affine norvegese nynorsk: aukenamn

Affine svedese: öknamn

In summary

From Middle English neke name, alteration (due to a rebracketing of an ekename as a nekename) of earlier ekename (“nickname”), from eke (“additional”) + name. Compare Old Norse aukanafn, auknafn, auknefni, Faroese eyknevni, Danish øgenavn, Norwegian Nynorsk aukenamn, Swedish öknamn, and German Low German Ökelname.
