Bardilo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bardilo, also Bardzila and Barzila, is a Balto-Slavic given name and surname.

Etymology

[edit]

Bardilo is a name of German origin.[1] The prefix "bardi/bardy" is an equivalent of the Proto-Slavic bordy "axe" and was borrowed from Proto-Germanic *bardō.[2] The name has theoretical calques from Paleo-Balkan and Daco-Thracian classifications with different meanings. Bardhyl ("white star"), for instance, is an Albanian cognate of Illyrian Bardylis. The suffix -dila or -zila, in the Daco-Thracian language, means, "plant/herb."

The etymological dictionary of Old Polish personal names, published by the Polish Academy of Sciences, notes the historical existence of the German name Bartol in Poland.[3] In addition, the name Bartilo existed historically in Poland (1448).[4]
