Thanks!  I’ll be waiting on the totemic names when you get a chance.

Are you taking these from Lind?

Subject: [norse_course] One More ON Personal Name - Manni

 

Occupations and types of men as personal names in the topic. Let us ot
forget that the name Manni survives in ON, a weak form of Madr (man). I
have not found the strong form in attested ON, and attestation from
other Germanic tongues does not yield it, but Manno survives in OHG.
These totemic personal names relating to occupations, types of men, and
tribes, and that we have mentioned so far, are often very, very old.
Good night for now. More categories of ON totemic names later.
