Andrac

Discussion of the name

Andrac is the DB form of an as-yet unidentified name.  It is likely to be a Continental Germanic masculine name and von Feilitzen (1937: 161) suggested that if ‘-ac’ was a scribal error for ‘-oc’ then it could represent Antroh(c); another possibility would be Andrad-, Andratus with the common error of ‘c’ for ‘t’ (cf. Morlet 1968: 36).

The only entry in the PASE corpus is for Andrac 1, a catch-all category for this form in DB.
