So you know how Devashish comes from Sanskrit Dev (God) Ashish: (Blessing/Gift)
It was pointed out to me that my name exactly matches with the vibe of Theodore:
Dev → Deus → Theo mean the same thing and probably share a root (God)
And the dore part comes from dṓron meaning gift/blessing
So I guess my western name would be Ted
Robert:
> From the Germanic name Hrodebert meaning "bright fame", derived from the elements hruod "fame" and beraht "bright".
I was gonna ask what an equivalent might be in some region in India, but actually, I'm good with Hrodebert, I'll just go with that
@elfprince13 @ricci interesting!
@elfprince13 @dev this is great, now when I have to distinguish between Dev and the evil Dev-clone, I will know to say "'sup Theodoric" and only the evil clone will fall for it
@ricci @elfprince13 I'm also told that while Deus and Dev share PIE root, Theo is from an unrelated origin

I have linked to etymonline a surprising number of times on this here web site
@elfprince13 @ricci @dev true, þeod -> Icelandic þjóð -> nation.
HOWEVER, Dev shares a root via proto-indo-european, Dev -> Deus -> Dyeus Pater (Sky father) -> (D)Jupiter and Dyeus -> Zeus and (through some evolution) -> norse Týr. WHICH gave us the rune for T, ᛏ, which is just an arrow pointing up... to the sky-father!
Very ancient word! Suffuses indo-european. More info:

@elfprince13 @ricci @dev note that Dyeus is also present in Hinduism, via the Indo-European influence of the Rigveda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyaus
@tritlo @elfprince13 @dev This is the most interesting thing I have learned today.
This website is worth every penny I've spent on it
