The Phar-Is'i

Post by Wil Helm »

After long studies and comparable work I have concluded what the real origin of the "Frisian" name is.
Not at all that I discovered it, but i merely give credit to Adriaan van Schrieck, and his colossal work with the even colossal title:

Van t’beghin der eerster volcken van Europen, in-sonderheyt vanden oorspronck ende saecken der Neder-Landren, xxiii Boecken, Met betoon vande dwalinghen der Griecken ende Latinen op t’selve Beghin ende den ghemeynen Oorspronck. Ende dat de Neder-Landren metten Ga-halen ende Tuytschen t’samen in d’eerste tijden ghenaemt Kelten, ghecomen uuten Hebreen op t’Noorden ofte den Kelteghen cant des weerelts / ghelijck de Caldeen op t’Oosten / ende ander na t’Heet-Op der Sonnen; verre te boven gaen den Griecken ende Romainen in ouderdom ende spraecke. Af-beleet vanden Beghinne, totten tijd van Carolus Magnus, ende besluytende over de 4900 iaeren

In this work the most reasonable explanation came for me about the name of the "Friezen".

The Frisians were originally people that lived by pendeling between numorous islands, always keeping an eye on the ebb, flow and spring tides of the sea. That was the way they were living and the way they got accustomed to seafaring. Hence their name=
Phar-Is = Fare-Is = Vaar-Is

Litteraly: roam to the is-lands. I don't doubt Paris was first of all a settlement of Frisians in what we call now France.
Isle-de-France. Territorial Franks followed the Frisians but erased their whole legacy.

Hello Wil,
Have you read the theory that ancient Frisia and Saxony(before the first millenium) were in northern france? Here is a translation from Ott, though you seem to speak dutch anyway.

He Wil Helm.
Nice theory. I don't think it is right but who knows.
The thing with languages is that it is not that much about the spelling and the changes but how you speak it.
Like for instance Island is a mix between the Spanish word Isla and the Dutch word Eiland... when you speak it out loud you hear the word Island in English is phonetic Eiland.... Frisian/Dutch is in many languages but is particularly Half of the English lingo the other part is Spanish and French

But since you speak Dutch, have a look at old Kroneiken van Brabant or Limburg.

Great to gain knowledge from old dutch languages .... very interesting. Look in Google Translate for Frisian and that will make things much clearer

I hope it will help you in your search
