| Remarks | 'Crapaud' from Francique 'krappan' = 'crapot, crapaut, crape, escraper', i.e., trash, to clean by scraping; commonly used for animals perceived as ugly (p. 417 in Ref. 11853); 'de mer', i.e., of the sea, from Latin 'mare' (p. 458 in Ref. 9404); 'nain', i.e., dwarf, from Latin 'nanus' from 'nabot' = 'nain' and 'bot', maybe influenced by 'navet' and which is used to describe a small sized man (p. 486 in Ref. 9404). |
