This LO is for the February “Scrap Their Name” Challenge. In this LO is DH, I love this picture of him. I used both his names as they have similar great etymology and history behind them. The number 10 on the crown represents the 10 kings who also share these names.
DH also believes that he WILL be a ruler some day.
Jornaling:
Meaning "leader of the army", derived from Old English here "army" and weald "leader, ruler". This was the name of five kings of Norway and two kings of England, including Harold II who lost the Battle of Hastings (and was killed in it), which led to the Norman Conquest. After the conquest it was rarely used but was eventually revived in the 19th century. There have also been three Kings of Denmark named Harald.
Harold Wilson was British Prime Minister in the 1960s and 70s. Harold Macmillan was Prime Minister from 1957 to 63. Harold Pinter is an English playwright.
EDWARD
From the Old English Eádweard; a compound name composed of the elements "ead" (riches, prosperity, fortune) and "weard" (guardian, protector). Hence: 'protector of the riches, inheritance', or maybe 'rich guardian', 'fortunate protector'.
Saint Edward the Confessor was the king of England shortly before the Norman Conquest. Because of his popularity this name remained in use after the conquest (most other Old English names were replaced by Norman ones), and was even the name of eight subsequent kings of England. Edward is also one of the few Old English names to be used throughout Europe.
It is more commonly used in Great Britain but was already known on the main land quite early due to Anglo-Saxon preachers. Edward's popularity became greater after Jean-Jacques Rousseau used the name for one of his characters in 'Nouvelle Héloise'.
It is also the youngest son of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Edward (b. 1964).
Pronounced: HER-uld

Harold was named after his paternal uncle who past away as a child.
Harold was also named Edward after his paternal Grandfather.
