I had a bit more time to read your last post while on my lunch break. I am very glad for the explanation about the connection of Havelin with sea-going people. That makes sense in terms of how the name came about. Of course, Havelin is only one name like a mentioned in my last post. Also, thank you for the explanation about the "ius" at the ending of names. One of the governors of one of the states in the US is named Katherine Sibelius!They pronounce it with a long /e/ in the middle like Sibeelius, though. I think Sibelius is a rare Finnish name too.
Well off to work and thank you for the very good information.
