## [recensere] Devanha

What's the source for this name? It doesn't look Latin and can't be Greek. A nd rew D alby 14:17, 31 Decembris 2006 (UTC)

  Looks portuguese...--Ioshus (disp) 17:13, 31 Decembris 2006 (UTC)
  I've looked into this now. Devanha is a misspelling. There was such a name in that district in classical times (Deouana in Ptolemy; Devonis or similar in the Ravenna Cosmography; probably Devana in Latin) but no one knows if it was precisely Aberdeen, and the Roman Britain people think not.
  Therefore, our article about Aberdeen should be under the usual later Latin name, which is Aberdonia (see e.g. Hofmann). I could move it by copy-and-paste, but if an admin will kindly delete the current redirect page at Aberdonia I will move it in the proper way! A nd rew D alby 13:38, 20 Ianuarii 2007 (UTC)
