ERNA. A
short
form of English Ernestine (History
of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884), German Ernstine (Die deutsche mundart in
Estland, Sallmann, 1873), and Hungarian
Ernesztina (Az Anyakönyvvezetök Kézik, Budapest,
Vilmos, 1898), all meaning "eagle stone."
But the peasants say, when the
thunders roar,
And the lightnings flash o'er the lake's cold face,
Two forms are seen by the haunted shore,
And the stately mien and fairy grace
Tell that these visions of Corrib's tide
Are Lord Hugo and Erna, his Saxon bride.
(Killeeny of Lough Corrib & Misc. Poems, Condon, 1872)
ERNA. Old
Norse myth name of the wife of Jarl, derived from Teutonic arn, meaning
"eagle."
... Having attained manhood, Jarl
married Erna, an aristocratic, slender-waisted maiden, who ruled his
household wisely and bore him many children, all born to rule, the
youngest of which, Konur, became the first king of Denmark according to
this myth, which is illustrative of the marked sense of classes among
the Northern races. (Myths of Northern Lands, Guerber, 1895)
