Wrong names

edit

"They are all Norse: Karl, Farulf, Vermund, Hrollaf, and Steinvith."

There are other names: Karly, Farlaf, Veremud, Rulav, Stemid|Stemir. They are not specificly nors or even german. Such names might be a result of shortening in russian chronicles, using "titlo" sign - Rulav might be shortening from Jaroslav, Stemis from Istemir. Name Karly is used throughout tatars. Skandinavian-like names are also used in Lithuania and other Baltic countries since ancient times (Skirmont, Algimund, Ringold, Rimont, Dowmont). 92.255.220.3 (talk) 16:17, 26 March 2017 (UTC)YargaReply
