No passado, os registros eclesiásticos eram todos baseados no latim e os os nomes na maioria dos documentos apresentavam forte influência do idioma. Este era o padrão válido em toda a Europa.

É extremamente improvável que os nomes latinizados fossem usados no cotidiano, por isto é válido tentar recuperar o vernáculo dos nomes.

Os nomes femininos nos registros possuiam muitas vezes a terminação do latim -is, a qual excluída, produz nomes mais plausíveis. (ex.: Methild de Methildis, Gertud de Gertrudis).

Nos nomes masculinos ocorria o mesmo processo por meio da terminação latina -us, (ex.: Hermann de Hermannus, Karl de Carolus). No caso da terminação latina -ricus, basta substituí-la por -rich (ex.: Heinrich de Heinricus).
